So i'm getting tired of how my truck looks and want a change

Here's how it looks now

The best i think it's looked so far

What i'm thinking of doing this time is replacing the black bumpers with stock chrome bumpers, replace the rims with a set of 16"x7" rims that are along the same style, taking the toolbox and headache rack off and replacing the rails with a full length set of chrome rails, and replacing the expedition grille with a XLT grille, replacing the head lights/corners with clear heads and corners, and finally putting the stock tail lights back on

you could also put the stick on side view mirror chrome covers, stick on chrome door handle covers, and a chrome gas door....would make all the difference in the world if your gunna put some chrome on it, just my opinion

Absolutely no stick on chrome will ever touch this truck, i have thought about putting on white mirror caps though

Paint the mirror caps white and all your door and tailgate handles. I like the idea of adding chrome back, thats what looks best on white trucks in my opinion. I think you should also run some new body style superduty tailightsAnd it would look good if you lifted it and threw on some 285's..... If that's what you're into.

I didnt even think of superduty tails, and i'd love to lift it but it's one a 2wd so it's not going any higher then what a leveling kit will lift it

Call me crazy but I like the black look. Maybe the bumper chrome, get some black wheels with a chrome lip, and the tailgate bars. I wouldn't go to crazy- it is a truck you know...
