Hey truckers I really like the finished product, steves wheels will really finish it off. I think you really nailed the working beauty look, I think there is some little things to add to the consistence of the truck, I just did to mine and it really add to the realisim. You should black out the wipers, and do a little Chrome trim around the windshield and doors, I used a Chrome paint marker. It looks more like brushed aluminum finish instead of chrome. If you'd like I can show you a pic of mine, just a suggestion. Overall the truck looks good.

Looks good, just curious why you have the remains of the old suspension side plate? That's got to go, doesn't do your painted frame and custom parts any justice. Love all the polished aluminum in your build.

It will look great after you repaint but what a kick in the paints in the mean time.

Wow, that's a huge transformation! I can't believe the difference in changes. I remember when you used to go mud bogging with this truck, and now it looks more like a show truck. Hopefully you keep it on the high and dry roads now. Russ's suspension looks awesome on there. Just repaint the frame rails and you'll be good to go!
