The wait is finally over!!!!!!!!!!

[Diesel Dan]

After six long weeks in the shop my truck is finally done and the wait is over. See my post Oh the carnage" for details of the "incedent" My truck is now painted in a Chrysler color called Surf Blue Pearl w/ silver rally stripes. It came out fantastic and it is the only one like it in the world. Also added a Fab Fours rear bumper.



What do you guys think?

 

[Diesel Dan]

a few more

Man, I read your post oh the carnage when it first happened. It kinda faded away, but I still remember it. Your truck looks SICK!!! :-laf If you put some smoked cab lights on it, I think it would come alive. Oo.

 

[Diesel Dan]

1smoknc,



Thanks. First on the list is mudflaps to protect the paint. Then maybe some smoked lights and possibly some aftermarket rear tail lights. Money is a little tight at the moment so just mud flaps for now.

that thing will look sharp with all of the lights smoked out!!!!

 

[Ducman82]

that is one nice looking truck! great color choices!

I hear ya about the money being tight. When you go to get the cab lights (if you want them), I would recommend getting the eurolight led ones opposed to the recons. I got them on ebay for $75. They are LED and have replaceable bulbs unlike most other and they make a huge impact on what your truck looks like.

 

[Forrest Nearing]

yup, that's what I have on my '04. just re-use your factory seals

Looks sharp just as it is! Know when to quit and don't over do it. (Loose the drawbar and its perfect).

I have heard so many different dates about DT this year it is impossible to put it on the calander and make plans to come over to the dry side. September 27th and October 4th are the last 2 dates I have heard.



I wish they would get this planned out ahead of time. I had fun last year when I stopped by Shelleys for a few hours on my way to Yellowstone.









DD, the truck looks great.

 

[Paddy McMahon]

DD- Your truck looks awesome. Glad everything worked out well for you.

 

[wcjp]

In addition to mudflaps, how about those clear covers. Might be sold by 3M?



Truck looks sharp!

 

[Diesel Dan]

thanks for all the kind words guys,



I can't stop looking at it myself



JCockerill,

KORE chase w/Fox 2. 0 shocks and a proto KORE prerunner rear leaf pack. This new rear pack is designed for non-towing apps. It is very compliant/soft and makes the truck ride like a 1/2 ton. I only tow 3k of ATV's and the wife has a bad back so this works out perfectly. I wanted additional height so I added a few leafs from my mini-pak.



Tires are 35/12. 5/17 cooper discoverer st's I really like this tire as it is more aggressive than an AT and less than a MT



Powerwagon flairs complete the look

First to Dan, sorry, not really trying to hijack the thread.



Vaughn, I just spoke with the new owner at Shelly's about Diesel Thunder, said definetely not this weekend, but you were in charge and working on a date?

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

Yes JJPage it's looking like Sept. 27th for Diesel Thunder, and racing may happen after all. Keep an eye on NW Bombers (page 3+ of this thread) Diesel thunder 08 - BOMBER Board
