Inline 5 !FTW!



:doku2:

 

I have a lot of questions that i need answered that i really dont know that answer to.
First is when i bought the truck used form the dealer they listed the color as pweter (spelling) i have been looking to mabey get the ss second gen bumper for my truck to make it look more sporty and so i can show it and i dont see pweter anywhere for paint colors can anyone tell me the color and the code.

 

Welcome!

 

:welcome:

I believe that color is called Silver Birch

 

Thanks i want to do a lot of things to it at the end of the summer when i am done paying back my dad

 

:355::welcome2::salute:

 

nice truck.. but those orange reflectors gotta go :lol:

 

Yea i know i hate them i want to get the ss bumper but need help painting it and puting it on mabey this winter i still have to pay $4,500 off but i will be done paying off by summers end. Me and my dad made a deal that if i got Eagle Scout is boy scouts he would buy me a truck for me so i said i wanted this and he said i had to come up with more money so i did he paid half and i am paying half.

 

nice truck and welcome......those reflectors gotta go man, and yes that is silverbirch. 3.5 in a reg cab...............sweet! loose the pin strip as well man...unless your gona use it as a guide to tape off and paint the top a different color????? KILL THE REFLECTORS!

 

I have not had any time to do anything to it because i cutt grass for my job and i have been bussy as anything but i need more suggestions on what cheap things i can do to it.

 

Grats on Eagle Scout! Quite the accomplishment!

Truck looks nice and clean. Treat her well and she'll be kind to you, also. There's not alot on these trucks that is difficult to do. Just post up any questions you have and we'll be happy to help!

 

Yea i am proud to be a eagle scout it will get me a lot farther in life then most regular people and it might ever save my life one day.

I just want to do some things right now that are really cheap like under $50 so if you got anything cool i want to hear but when i am done paying it off i will be doing a tone to it.

 

not too many mods under $50.. maybe a new muffler, the I5's sound awesome

 

no i am just looking for some starter mods like easy stuff

 

window tint, start with the back only and do the sides later?????

 

Color match the handles and mirrors. It really makes these trucks look sharp.

Just need some sand paper to smooth them out, primer, color matched paint, and possibly clear. I'd ask the place that gets the paint for you what they recommend as far as primer and clear. It's a cool learning experience as well.


Also, two birds with one stone to clean up the front end a bit, get rid of those reflectors and install an aftermarket fog light kit. On your truck, you'd just measure out the rectangle area around the fog light holes, locate some fog lights that will fit pretty well (even the stock fog lights are too big for the holes, they just press up to the back of the lower valence around the lens area), and then wire them up with a switch inside the cab. Pilot makes some good kits for $40-$60.

These for example, might fit well. Dunno, never measured myself.

^^ Clicky ^^

 

get rid of the bug-deflector as well looks like grampa's truck......i'm thinkin thats where the reflectors came from??? and the tail gate protector with no bed liner...X, gotta go. wheels look good, mabee save up to lower the back a little and level it out.....great starter truck. i'm likin it. you need to try to come to the meet in Hershey week after next...11 DAYS 19th -21st you can get enough ideas there to give yourself a brian cramp!

:welcome2:

for cheap mods, search on here for the how-to on baking headlights. it only costs $4 for a tube of silicone and a little patience to do and makes a dramatic difference in the front of your truck. you can also do turn signal and high beam mods for next to nothing. you can also debadge it for free. SS mirrors are $100 for the manual ones, and they make a HUGE difference. a 1" block to drop the rear and level it out costs about $30. get an S-10 gas door and color match it to get rid of the ugly door on our trucks, and color match all of your handles. there are tons of mods you can do for under $100. You could do all of the above for probably $250 and have a pretty clean looking ride.

yeah, but it has a huge retarded looking grab handle on it. the s-10 caps are smooth and bolt right up.
