New LONESTARTRUCKS Build Suggestions * PLEASE READ *
#12
[MENTION=120577]zimmer0[/MENTION] you make a great point. We want to make sure this truck can maximize its potential and be able to have the least problems, we're currently working on the engine so hopefully the looks side of the build begins around end of next week. We all here at the shop agreed no more than 6 inches up and we are still debating if we want to put 35's because 35's can be quite expensive. [MENTION=85799]lambo2936[/MENTION] we are looking brush guards right now love the suggestion, we would love to find a guard/hitch combo that's high quality but without spending the road armor price. Also [MENTION=49891]thatIRISHtruck[/MENTION] I like your ideas and costs but instead of a programmer buy a brush guard. With all due respect I don't think they need to be going fast anyways. Keep the suggestions coming! I will start another thread when we start looks!

[MENTION=49891]thatIRISHtruck[/MENTION] Oh man.. I'm a Dunbass sorry man, my mind is always in speed haha! But yes programmer is considered right now, thanks for pitching in ranch hand idea I checked out the guards they have for our truck and I like them a lot. Thanks for the pictures that's exactly it! How would you feel about the lower valence painted black instead of chrome? I've been considering that and we do it ourself so it's free

[MENTION=49891]thatIRISHtruck[/MENTION] should paint white or black? I was considering putting a nfab bumper on the front with a light bar or KC lights then just paint the rear black

Good point. If I was going for a clean/simple look (no aftermarket bumpers) then I would paint the bumpers white to match the rest of the truck. However, if I was going to add a grille guard/bull bar/aftermarket bumper then I would most likely consider painting the exsisiting bumpers black to match whatever is not replaced, or even the one that is covered up by an aftermarket item. Hopefully, I didn't make that too confusing at the end.

I understand perfectly! Downside is we found a problem with the engine so we might be set back another 7-10 days, but we have already bought tires and rims and now I'm looking into programmers and brush guards. Will keep posted, and thanks for the paint input I think we're going black on the chrome its different
