Thats all I have for pics until tomorrow, my camera battery died tonite.

Also got my bumpers installed. Just need to put my receivers in them and get them painted up. Think I should go black or paint 'em to match the truck?


I almost forgot.

paint the wheels black and paint the brake calipers/drums blue to match....as for the bumper, sometimes it looks good painted to match, sometimes it looks like crap, it all depends on the truck....id say black though......

Thanks guys. The truck is all painted, gonna re-assemble it today sometime. Maybe I'll try to get a pic of it out in the light. And yes its Ford paint, its Ford New Holland blue. This is my cheap paintjob ($45 a gallon). Didn't even use all the gallon LOL.
