As far as mods go, I just did a muffler today lol. I'm thinking about upgrading the stereo and removing all of the badges.

These trucks do need better speakers. Removing the badges are easy. Do you plan on color matching the truck?

The bumper is fine, just the hitch (in my opinion) looks out of place with the drop.

Sweet! What drop kit did you use?

 

The kit is by McGaughy's. I'll be honest, I'm new to truck scene. The dealership threw the lowering kit into the deal.

 

That's the Rally Edition correct? Factory wheels, stripes and color matched grill? Anything interior wise?

The hitch looks out of place with the drop, should remove it.

I agree. They are not the worst but tons of room for improvement. As far as color matching goes. I don't really know what else I could color match. I was thinking the brake calipers in DRM and painting or removing the chrome badging and maybe (if I get borde) painting the gold bowties on the center caps black. Other than that, not much more. Got any ideas? I think the bumpers stick out a bit but I don't want to buy new bumpers.

I painted my bumpers, grill, mirrors and tailgate handle.

$1000. If you go this route get at least 4 different prices where you live and check out there work before you decide to do. There was some guys that were less but the work wasn't up to my standards. I'm pretty picky about paint!

I honestly don't like burgandy/maroon on any vehicle, but your truck sir looks tough as is. I do agree about color matching the headlamps.

The result speaks for itself. Looks great!

Especially the front.

Thank you. I really like it this way.

Not to be a downer but, what motivates people to lower their trucks this much? I can see a 2" drop in the rear to level it out but, I prefer a 2" lift in the front.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
