That is a bad a$$ rig, very nice job

How much did you have to trim the front bumper to get those tires to fit?

Thanks everyone..I want to take some better pics with my camera (canon 40d) bt haven't had the time.

Headlights are oem 05-07 that I took apart and got rid of the amber side markers

Grill is trimmed 1 1/2" , then ran a small black rubber/plastic trim along the cut edge for a cleaner look

8" bds lift, 20" fuel hostage wheels, 40 13.5 20 Mickey Thompson ATZ tires..fenders & wheels wells slightly trimmed to accomadate

Better pics soon..

Thanks! For some reason I thought an 05 grill would fit without trimming? It's off a super duty truck right?

Yes grill is from a SD
Does not have to be cut if you use an 05-07 bumper, has to be cut if you maintain the 99-04 bumper..

If i removed the tan I'm sure that after years of sun that the paint under the tan trim would be a differnt shade of black no matter how much buffing and polishing...I'd imagine id need to get the whole thing painted...

I personally like the tan, it accents the whole truck nicely.

Absolutely Stunning truck! Did you mention the size of your wheels and tires and the lift you used?

Wow! 40's and only an 8"? Even with trimming, I'm assuming that you don't get too twisted up off road. Just a guess. But I like the look! It is similar to 35's on a leveled F350... Just bigger like America, but South...
