I love the setup, especially with my LED fog lights. I wish I had done some custom paint like He did here but the output is all I was mainly after and it exceeded expectations because with proper adjustment I can see upwards of a mile on high beams

I did my wheels, bumpers, and flares with black plasti-dip, and I love it. The front bumper needs a lil touch up from some tree rubs while off roading. Chrome is for muscle cars...

Needs more white, black is for work trucks.

I think white trucks in general look like work trucks, every work truck I've ever used has been white and every one had chrome bumpers. So for me the black would be less of a work truck lol.


Truck on left (work) has just about every option you can get and chrome, truck on right (personal) has no options except a sliding rear window and very very little chrome. But don't pay attention to the rear tire, America's tire company thought it would be a good idea to put a new tire on the spare rim and not the alloy.

90% of the work trucks around here are white with black bumpers and painted wheels. The XL's have a chrome option but the base base model is always black bumpers and grilles.

I'm trying to photoshop it, but I have issues going from black to white.

Just white on the bumpers will make a huge difference. And when you get around to putting wheels on it, it'll look more finished, and less "omg the chrome just had to go"
