Changed soem looks on the truck up a bit lowered the back to level it out. Got some new to me wheels. Pulled off the factory flares and the bug shield. got my lug nuts yesterday from the dealer so i'll be able to get the center caps on shortly now but other then that i like it better than with the other wheels. what you think?

Get rid of the chair rail and emblems off the side! Its 2wd right? Why not lower it 6 and 6? I doubt you will tow anything to its full capacity and that would help the looks a ton!

the leveling shackles were cheaper :goof i would like to lay it down real low. yup it is 2wd. the chair rail? i assume you mean the mouldings? its on my list of to do. and no i probably wont ever have a full weight capacity in it. altho i did have it full to the brim once with gravel already. but yes i agree lower would look alot better. thats also on my to do list. getting rid of the ugly 17" wheels was first on my expensive things to do tho. any one want some black american racing wheels 8lug?

1 ton duallys look tits layed out low, that thing would sure follow suit. yeah chair rail molding is the gaudy ass side moldings lol. move the d-max emblems to the sides of the minor hood buldge, or better still find decals if you must have something on it that says its a d-max, i think anyone can figure it from the sound or the rolling coal. Sorry just my inner urge to have a monochromatic vehicle talking.

How much for old wheels? Tyler (monst913) the black CCSB duramax from the track has been looking for some for pulling season

not shure yet ive acually never seen a set like them before so i don't know what to price them at. they have tires on them still. not that that helps him at all. i was thinking about debadging the whole thing since some one already did the tailgate for me. but yea i'm shure some one could figure out its a dmax i almost want it to look like a dropped down 1500 but the 8lug gives it away

looks ok so far but as posted you need a bit more. removing the side moldings is easy and so worth it!

Only thing im worried about on the side mouldings is I've heard people peeling paint off with them.

Get white moulding for it. The Pewaukee soccer Moms are going to destroy your doors if you go over to the Noodles & Company for lunch.

Been a while since I saw a 2500HD without CVs in the A-arms.

Paint the rear wheel-wells black. Rustoleum Hammered holds up pretty well.

I wouldnt mind white moulding. Didn't even think about painting the rear fender wells but it did kinda bother me that they are excessively white. I know it is rare to see a 2500hd dirty max without cv axles in front :)

put gmc molding on it there just chrome and look way better. i took the molding off my truck but make sure you heat it up a bit and get a 3m eraser wheel to get the stuff left over off. took me like hour to do my truck but its a crew cab and it was on my box too.
