Default Upgrade!

Hey everyone! So I did a little upgrading this weekend my 97 with the 4.2 fell victim to the lower intake manifold going out so she is no longer running but i got a 99 with the 5.4 and 4x4 qnd i absolutely love it! i have been conversing with a few members on here thus far but I am still trying to figure out some possible electric issues with it so if yall wouldnt mind taking a peek at the thread that would be sweet but I wanted to post a pic of it! i used the headlights I had from my 97 and I think they set the black off nice along with the black toolbox. Looking to level it out and go black wheels, tint the windows and all that once i get this coolant issue figured out! Let me know what yall think and if anyone has any info they could share on my other thread please feel free!

That's a fine looking truck. The chrome bumper and alloy wheel contrast really adds a lot. It is my opinion that black wheels will ruin the looks, and make it look like cheap crap. Kind of like running on the spare tire.
If that offends people, sorry, but that's the way I feel about it, and you should think real carefully before going after those wheels with black paint.
But it's your truck and your call.

Really good looking truck, did you take the bumper off the 97 along with the headlights cause those only came on the 97 and 98's?

Could be as simple as un hooking the battery and readying the computer

I see what you're saying wheels will come down the road for now but no black will be taken into consideration. Idk ill have to see if I can't get some visuals when its time to do wheel shopping.

And 4x4wolf that was typo on my part I was using my phone and the fat thumbs must not have moved over far enough lol it is a 98!
