Finally put my Mud Grapplers on. All I say is they are LOUD! It makes up for the exhaust I dont have yet..

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Just wait until you have about 10k miles on them.

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Then what happens? They quiet down??

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

nope, louder....:OWNED:

I had them on my excursion.... great offroad tire but man....... I couldn't even call my Grandma for to wish her Happy Birthday cuz she was like..... "WHAAATTT???" and I was like "HUHHHHH?" and yeah.... didn't work out.
nice rig tho, you need to black out your side markers.:clapping:

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Thats okay! Im liking the loudness. I don't know how to black out markers without screwing them up. They are the only things that havent been blacked out yet

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Tape around them. and get vht nightshade. sand down with around 800 grit paper then just put as many coats on until you like the darkness. for me id say no more than 2 or 3 coats. stuff works great!

What did you use to paint your gas cap? and imo i would swap your black nerf bars for the le steps and rocker but thats just my opinion. other than that Rig looks great my friend! :perfect10s:

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

I aggree.. the first thing taht stood out for me in the first pic was the bright yellow marker. the VHT works great and you can get by without sanding too. If you want them shiny do a few clear coats at the end... I personally do 3-5 light VHT coats but I think they do recommend 2-3 as you start losing some light after 3...

by the way, other than that, the truck looks great!!

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Thanks everyone! The gas cap and both hood rails were powercoated all black.
Ill try giving it a shot this weekend blacking out the turn signals.. Ill post pics after I do them. Hopefully the weather will be nice

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Looks AWESOME 22.......

Like My Rigs evil Twin!!!:D

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Good Lookin' Rig!! Now go get it dirty...:perfect10s:

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Thanks HummBob!! They sure do!! I wish we could get all the blackened rigs all together from this forum and cause chaos on the highway!

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

I'm Down!

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

How is the powder coating on the roof rails holding up? I use snowboard racks during the winter months and am worried that they would scratch up the paint if I went black.

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

so far so good.. Not too scratched up at all. When i put my boards on top, i keep them in the bag...

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

They also have side marker light covers... I just had mine powder coated black. They were OEM.

Here is a picture of them after I had them powder coated- They come in two pieces... I'm trying to decide whether to use both pieces or just the back trim piece... but in your case it's a clear decision.

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

What a beaut. I'm not usually a fan of the blacked out look, but that looks real nice!

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

looks awesome ! great job :beerchug:

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

honestly..... I've heard that they become quiet. Spoke to a guy locally here and those were his words. Your ride looks damn good

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Thanks! Ive gotten used to the sound. But, from what people have said on the phone, is that "what, are you in a small airplane right now?" Ha ha..

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Well, I sold my other wheels and tires to go with the black chrome. To me, I liked them at the shop...... now, I think I just lost the "murderous look" I had when I had my black rims on? Whats your guys opinion?
Do I go back to black rims again?

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Well, I got to kinda agree with ya, the black looked better, but the black chrome don't look bad either.

I got a 1999 HD Night Train and it is suppose to be black and sinister looking but a little chrome helps the looks IMO so now it is about 60/40.

Keep'em for a while and see if they grow on ya ???

Just my opinion :D

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

I like my Matte Rockstars but those look pretty good too!!!

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

I tried to see if it would grow on me for the past 2 weeks, and I dont think its going to happen..
Thinking of going with XD Revolvers 20x10 all in black

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Love my XDs... www. RIMZONE. COM .....

I'm not affiliated in any way, found them on Ebay....

I got 4 xd revolvers balanced on brand new TOYO Open Country M/Ts, ready to mount with all hardware for just over 1800! Local tire shops wanted just under that for the tires alone! ...

Anyways.. good luck....

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

I sold my wheels to a guy in NY and he loves them. I told him to post his truck with the wheels I had. I do like the look of the XD's.
any problems with them at all? Peeling.....

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Not as of yet, but mine are brand new. If you do some searching, both here and on the internet in general, you'll see a lot of XD wheels on a lot of different trucks.

They seem to be good quality but I'm no wheel expert...

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

go back to black dude;)

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Trust me! I am... Ive had to learn the hard way... I may just back to the rims I sold, cause I like the deep dish. And, the XD's I was looking at, arent deep dish

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Agreed:beerchug:

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

ahhh, back to black....

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

That is God's way of saying, "Hook Em" LOL

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

I like those! :beerchug:

Sorry if I missed the brand / model.. what are they??

They seem to have a gloss to them no?

Re: Updated Blackened Pics
 

Eagle series 114.. 20x10's -24 offset... no gloss, just a matte black finish. I did paint the center caps because they were chrome..
