well truck broke down when wife was driving my son to day care. line on passenger side blew on steering rack. purchased reman from carsteering.com. finally put it in this past Monday. drove it and had it pass state inspection so i can get damn 2 year tags.

Question: what do you guys think if i painted crome bumpers black, step rail black, added black fender flares, added black stripe along bottom connecting to fender flares, then black grille? curious if white truck would look dumb with black all around. i feel like as it sits, it's so blahhh plain.

hmmm. i guess i could......i fell in love with that saleen grille and never saw one in white...just black so then i thought it would look funny with only thing black on truck. and i like flat black wheels on the white.

i really just don't like chrome.....maybe all white would look good. maybe i should do just black grille, wheels, and step rail. then paint bumpers white.

Saleen grille with ptm surround, white bumpers, and black wheels and steps would look super sharp. Look at Mrocha's build thread.

you have done magic with your truck, looking really good so far. I need to find something that will take kool aid out of my rear carpet. I bought the truck with a softball size blue stain in the rear floor board and have not found a cleaner that can get it out yet.
