i eat hyrbrids-thanks its getting there.i love it without the flames.im stuck between a dark charcoal grey or sticking with the white/black theme i have going on right now.havnt decided yet
sesh1975-i pulled them carefully.haha.basicaly you cut the inner wells in half and take a bottle jack and flare them to what you want and then weld in tabs to keep them out.and then you have to extend the poles that attach to the bottom of the fenders

sesh-nothing really new with it.all ive really added was a black husky toolbox into the bed.also picked up some steps off a chevy that i have to build brackets to make them fit.other than that ive been slacking on the truck.also been looking for glass rear fenders.
acf6-yes it would but we'll see how the funds are.the charcoal grey i want has alot of flake in it so it may put a hurt on the wallet.we'll see when i get around to that

When you say "caging" are you talking exo cage or interior roll cage?
These trucks are big enough and with an exo cage it would be even bigger. Maybe too big, but it would probably look cool if it was done with care.
Interior would be my personal preference, but it also would need to be build with care to make it functional while not taking away too much from the overall good looking interior it has.
In some cases a sturdy headache rack and front grill guard/prerunner type add-on made with heavy steel and raised slightly above the hood level is the preferred choice for roll over safety.
Rick...

definately not exo cage.like you stated it would be huge.im talking interior cage.but it would be very precise and multiple bends to follow the same curves as the interior.also(i havnt fully decided on this or not) but was pondering the idea of punching it through the top of the dash as it runs down the windshield.i did one in a silverado like that and it turned out extremely clean so i may do the same idea on this one.but it'll be simple.basically just the outters.i dont want to do all the four point harnesses and such in it since it is my daily driver and i do have lariat interior.also i am planning on doing bumpers.simple prerunner ones.skid plate up front following the same lines as the stock bumper did and sheeting it in with aluminum on the top(under the grill and lights) so you dont see all the stuff underneath of it.as for the rear.simple bar acrossed the top and have it shoot another bar down to connect to the hitch and just dimple die some steel to fill in between the two bars

License plate is classic! haha!
I was just looking at LED Smoked Taillights myself the other day...How do you like them?
You should put a big *** Tough Country replacement bumper on that thing!
