This really shows me how much I need to get at least 37's on my truck already. Anything else just looks too small on these PW's!
Great looking truck, how are you liking the Thuren bumper now that you have had it on for a little while?

Good to hear! That bumper is the most likely candidate next to a mercenary, and at a much more attainable cost. That is unless I venture down the path of building my own.

Updates of the written word:
The Fiberwerx fenders showed up, and are unfortunately totally unusable due to some serious quality control issues. It has ultimately been determined that the molds for these fenders were used and abused because Chrysler was ordering these things left and right and they're wore out and tired and I go the brunt of it. Pretty ************ considering that I ordered these the first week of December, and it took 3 1/2 months for them to arrive to only be wrong. Upside is Fiberwerx has a new truck coming in to make brand new molds off of and I get the first set.
passed 50,000 trouble free miles
Looks like Thursday truck will be going into the shop for a few days to get re-geared. Decided on performance over economy, so then decided to say ******** it and and go 100% performance with 0 compromise and ordered 5.13s. If this pig doesn't do 0-60 in sub 7 seconds imma kill a **********.
that's all I've got right now.

What brand gears did you order? 5:13 with 40’s might just be perfect for a gas truck.

Nitro, they’re the only ones that make that size gear for this truck.
