New pics, honest opinions...

I picked her up bone stock with 20,000 on it. I did 2.5" leveling kit, Tinted windows, Black headlights, New wheels, S&B intake, Raptor steps, And custom tune from 5 STAR. Yes I know...Larger tires are next, but the stock ones still had some meat left on them. I will probably powder coat the bumpers as well. Honest opinions on the all black look???

Your truck looks great man! Personally I'd probably leave the bumpers alone. I think they give off a nice contrast. Great job on your rig!

I think your truck looks good as it is too.

The all black fad will wear out soon and chrome will be the new black.

Sorry about that, I am still impressed that I figured out the photobucket fiasco.

Grille Guard...... Also I think Black bumpers would rock on your truck. Also what size tires are those on it? 275 65r 18's???

Get a nice looking exhaust tip like the Harley truck setup. When you put the links to the pics in your post hit enter after each one. Instead of [pic][pic][pic][pic][pic] it should look like

ggwash...They are 255/75/17's. I plan to go up to a 285 or 305 series to give me a more aggressive look without killing my fuel mileage.

What a great looking truck!

You have done pretty much EVERYTHING to your truck that I want to do to with mine. I have an '06 XLT Supercab 5.4L. Our trucks are identical, except mine has foglights.

I too, have contemplated either powdercoating or buying FX4 bumpers. I have HD headlights and taillights and I just bought a 2.5" AS leveling kit. I don't have it installed yet.

Here is an old pic...

Personally, I am not a fan of black rims. The rest of the truck however looks nice!

I think you should leave the bumpers...get some chrome pulls on the door handles (and not just cause i'm selling mine) i just think its too much black....and also a chrome exhaust tip.....and then a bigger set of tires...

Very nice looking truck you have there. Its very similar to my black '06 XLT 4x4 Supercab. I would leave the bumpers chrome. As mentioned before the all blacked out look is a passing fad. Putting on too much black will take away from its sharp looks IMHO. The black rims dont look too bad and getting bigger tires will improve the overall look of the truck.
