Morgan with your ported TB does it make it feel any different? I have my ported TB sitting at home. Was not able to install my catch can or TB this weekend.
There's a little difference but it's not drastic, it's still a 7500 lb truck. What these trucks really need is all the bolt ons, a cam, and a good tune. IMO... Or a blower...lol

Yeah. I know we are not going to be anything near the "Wow" factor but I guess we have to try and kill it with appearance!

I'm suppose to hear back from Ripp this week. My only worry is they are going to have to have the truck for a long time and it will have to staya in Long Island NY and that's like 6 hours from me.... But we will see

Alright guys.. So I sold my light bar today and I need some advice from my buddies..

Should I go with a 32" light bar or... a set of custom headlights for the truck?

If I get the 32" Light bar it will be headed to Rok-Tek so they can build me a custom bracket so I can mount it inbetween the tow hooks.

Thoughts?

Headlights. You will use them virtually every day plus they always look good. The lightbar will look good, but, although you will use it more often than most, you won't use it THAT much.

Do them silver, with the edges and reflector fingers painted mineral gray. If you want to get crazy, maybe do the projector (large) shrouds in mineral gray as well.
