Love that look. Do you have a straight-on from the front shot? I would really like to paint my wheels, bumpers, and grill black, but I think I picked the wrong color exterior for that to look right. :lol:

Very nice Umberto. I like this a lot better than before. That impact bar being line-x'd should help a lot with the rock chips too. I wish I could afford to redo mine along with my grille shell.

Thanks man. Nah, straight on views I took came out blurry for some reason.

I have to admit, it looks alot better than it did and better than I expected.

 

Very cool! :lol:

 

But it would look better yet if your truck was black instead of brown. :lol:

 

Now go get yourself a nice chrome bug guard and you'll be all set. :lol::D

Probably because the cameraman was scared shitless looking directly at that beast. :lol:

Thanks, yeah bro, I shouldn't get any rock chips ever again on the bumper cap. I had my grille professionally painted by a body shop, and so far so good too, much more durable than when I painted it myself. The bumper cap shouldn't be much to LineX, maybe $75-$100 is my guess.

Haha..Yeah, I'm real happy now versus how uneasy I felt with the first look, it was worth redoing.

 

Chrome bug guard? Hell yeah!

Jeebus, those are some big ass pics.

 

Looks good. those are the best pics I think I have seen of your truck yet. What's left? A full body tat for you so you match? Not sure what else you can do. :lol:

Haha..sorry b'out the large pics. I figured, I never really took many decent pics of my truck (not that these are great either), but they show the truck fairly well, albeit taken in a parking lot

Next on the list is a matching rear bumper guard using 1 3/4" and 1" tubing. Very low profile, just two bars across, and something incorporated to cover up my hitch receiver.

      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.
