:cheers: You guys are nuts!!!! Flip the tires today.
No Olan, It's just the bright Arizona/Utah sun reflecting off the handles...the mirage in the desert effect! :wink:
Solid, your rig looks great! Where did you pick up the US flag emblems? I like those.

Just for cold air when I'm on the streets.
Getting ready to upgrade to this with a HMMWV air cap.

The way the blue K&N kit work is it's an inclosed air flit case with a built in air tub so you can pull it anywhere to pull more cold air. I no longer have my air box and the case is water tight. Pretty much loses the old filter and the add the blue case and send the tube to the fake snorkel and then add the HMMWV air cap on top.
This is the set up now.

1. Overall - too much black for me - but I like a little bit of chrome - especially with Black.
2. REALLY like the light bars. make? model? price?
3. The front is improved with the blacked out lower. Never did care for the 2 tone of later model years.
4. Chrome door handles and chrome center caps with chrome acorn lug nuts would give it just a hint of gleem - in my opinion.

I'm thinking the areas that are flat black plastic I'm going to get bed armor black so they don't fade anymore. The light bars are SMA's and are a hard find, I traded for the front light bar and the person that I traded with knew someone that had the rear on eBay. I made the person a deal and now I the last set and the only set I ever seen. Maybe the doorhandles, mirror cover and hood piece I'm going to get done in gloss black.

Could use 35" tires and an ARB bumper or brushguard, otherwise I think it looks great. Personally, I may have done things a little different if I had a black T that was going all black - not quite so dark on the window/signal tint, flat or satin bedliner on the grill - just to add a bit of variation while keeping it all black. Still though, I like it. A brushguard and 35's would really help give it the tough look.

I'm really gunning for an black ARB bumper but the $1,200 price tag is killing me. I'm hoping when I get to TX I can make H3Tbone a deal on his THOR bumper and brushguard.
:thumbs:
I want an ARB bumper for my T as well, but like you the price has me holding off. As much as I'd like one with a winch, it's low on my priorities. I have one car I need to do some cosmetic/electrical work on then sell, use that money to fix up another car, THEN I'll get around to some upgrades for the T I am planning. Three project cars = stoopid.

What you working on? One day I want to fix up a 87 Monte Carol SS with my son. Now check out how nutty I am, I want to also pick up a early 90's S10 ext cab and put the noise of the Carol, chopped top, T-tops, door mirrors, the whole Carol interior, side rear window, swoop rear end with the tail lights, truck lid with the Carol spoiler and to finish up with the color scheme with the SS on the doors!!!!! Nuts huh?
I wish I could work with photobucket to see what it will look.
