@2014RubyRed I know it's a little off topic, but I'm really digging the look of your Fiberwerx fenders. Really like how it flows with and is the same size flare as the stock rears. I've always liked the bulge (that's what she said) of fiberglass fenders but like maintaining a pretty factory look from a side shot of the truck. Looks like just a wider version of the stock fender rather than having a whole different look. Trucks looking sweet man!

Does the side lights shine in your side mirrors?
Looks like the light bar holds the lights up there permanently, do you have much wind noise at highway speeds? When my WSI actuator failed and left the lights up, the wind noise was annoying as hell. Now that I replaced it and it can now lower, it is so much better so was curious on yours.

Waiting for the wheel spacers to come in just so I can drive it! Have done most of this work this last week and haven't drove it farther than where it sits now and the wash bay on the other end of the shop.....

I'll let you know about the wind noise once we get to TRR - maybe over a really expensive steak?

When I first installed them and they were white, looking down the side of the truck from the rear, they looked REALLY wide. Painting them black subdued the 'bulge'. Gonna live it with it for a little while, but may widen the stock fenders a little to get them out a little and accommodate the Generals a little better......

Thanks for the compliments!!!!!

Why do you need spacers? Did you upgrade the UCA's? I was super close to putting spacers on mine to keep the ICON UCA's but eventually decided against it and sent them back to ICON.

Those insides of those fat-ass Grabbers are about the thickness of a sheet of paper from the UCA's! I didn't answer your other question about the side lights shining in the mirrors - I mounted them high enough on the rack and aimed them far enough out to just miss the mirrors.....

So are you saying your wanting to do the fiberwerx bedsides too? Do you think the "bulge" just in the front is too much, too drastic of a difference? From what I've seen in pictures, I like that look on these.

That truck is a real looker, best color, period.

Did you mean Ruby Red?

Yeah, @2014RubyRed's truck is getting closer and closer to the best color...black!


Haha, just kidding. But I really do like when the Ruby Red trucks especially (but most of the other colors too) throw in black in there with the hood wrap, wheels, etc. I've built a little love lately for the Ruby red, but that's probably because my other car is just about that color.

Nah. I don't want to do glass bed sides. I'm thinking more like modding my steel sides. Check this thread out -

I supervised while @t_j installed my new camburg rear shackles and u-bolts. Did a once over for TRR and have some things left this weekend to knock out in preparation for TRR.
