I'm with Dave & Matt on this one. The lower valance looks much better in place. I like the no roof rack though. It looks clean, and as Matt said if you never use it then you won't miss it.
I'd like to see it once you get those lights in though..

 

This is with the fog lights in place, along with a gold pinstripe and my Rough Country add-a-leafs installed. I was planning on cranking up the front end as well, but it seems to sit pretty level so i'm not gonna touch it.

I'm not too sure about the fog lights at the moment...what does everyone think? I'm wondering if I should move them apart some. Either way I think they'll be more useful down there for heavy snow and in fog

 

Nice job on the paint, looks good.

 

You did a top-of-the-line job painting!

 

Nice! I think the lights look good where they're at. If you do move them though, not saying I think you need to, then I'd measure the distance between the edges of your turn signals and the edges of your license plate, and put the center of the fog lights at the half way point. But still, I think they look good where they're at. Kudos!

 

Thanks everyone!



Yeah I hear what you're saying, thats what I was thinking. I just mounted them there because there was already a perfect-sized hole in the bumper from the factory. I'll have to see what I think about them over time. I was actually thinking of making a bracket that moved them back under the frame some more

 

I also want to say that the add-a-leafs have made a huge difference in ride quality, mostly in cornering. It rides like a different truck now. I'd recommend them to anyone with sagging rear springs. After taking the truck on a half an hour ride on some back roads it's obvious there is a difference

 

You need a garage added to your user profile by the way. This is seriously a 1st gen worthy of Ride of the Month IMO.

 

how to protect car paint from bugs?

 

I suppose a bug deflector? I don't really do anything except wash them off often
