Truck Guys

[Moto49X]

Looks like my work truck is going to now be my personal truck.

Its a 1999 Cummins 4x4, only mods right now are recon clear cab lights, big tex rear bumper, toolbox, rhino liner, muffler and silencer ring removed.

Any idea's what to add? I'm not much of a city guy so I don't want a preppy boy truck hah.

I was thinkin, 18" motometal wheels with 33" Toyo Open Country's. 2" leveling kit, 5" turbo back exhaust with a 7" tip, Edge Juice with Attitude chip, Tint front windows, tow mirrors, and an intake of course. Any suggestions? I thought about rhino liner on the bottom up to the black molding, I've seen it on white trucks but I dont know about silver.

Only pic, I will try to snap some better ones.

twenty four

[bens250ex]

it would be hard to put a stroker back in my truck if it went. i would probably do a conversion since its so easy. but if i sold my truck i would get a cummins fo sure.

Have you ever riden in a modded 12 valve????? It is possibly to get them to 300+ HP for almost free (Under $50) if you know how to tune them. And if they are such dogs even modded why are all the diesel drag trucks and sled pullers using 12 valve engines????? No offense anyone can put a tuner on a 24 valve and make a decent preforming truck. They are nice for ease of tuning and driveablitity though.

Nice truck though and the wheels and tires should make it look good. The edge should really wake the engine up there is tons of info on tuners if you get on and search the diesel forums.

[hypersnyper6947]

Dont get the toyos there nice looking but i here they are soft and wear down quickly, go with nitto terra grapplers, i know same company but i here longer tread life, or procomp extreme all terrains they have a 40k treadwear gurantee. or some micky t's baja atz's

Yea I have been switching my mind back to Grapplers the more I look into them. The look sweet also(posted on the silver truck).

The Micky atz's are cool too, Discount tire sells them pretty dang cheap.

a friend of mine has the terragrappler, said they don't last very long, but thats just word of mouth

joshie 12v's are so sick. They pull like mofos. if i was to buy another diesel (sold my heavily built psd) i would buy an old body style 12v cummins.

[j_cyrus3]

I got 2 buddies that have the Terra Grapplers and they told me they wouldn't buy another set. I thought about buying some for my truck, but after they got 20,000 out of their tires I changed my mind. I have Toyo open country at's and they have lasted for 20,000 miles and they aren't even at half tread yet. I think you will be happy with the Toyo's. Having to drop a grand on tires every 20,000 aint fun.

[hypersnyper6947]

I have 37 13.50 20 mud grapplers right now on my lifted 06' f250, these are the loudest tires besides boggers. Yea $1000 every 20k miles is no good, its worse for me my tires are like $400 a piece and thats a cheap set. Get the pro comp extreme all terrains they look awesome and have a awesome treadwear gurantee.

Nice looking truck. Im running a bluechip FMS stacked with an edge ez in mine and it pulls pretty hard. That thing would look pretty sick with some black wheels and a nice black stack on it. Heres mine

couple better pics of my truck. You can tell she has been a work truck for while though, lol

I'm pretty much set on the 7" dual Miter cut stacks also.

[Moto49X]

one more

[killed300ex]

truck doesnt look that beat on for a work truck. Mine actually looks worse than that now that the bed is all dented up. 7 inchs stacks are huge but it will look and sounds great :devil: Im in the process of converting my truck to a dually and after thats done my stacks will get a revamp, regret going with 5 inch im thinkin 6 inch bull haulers or aussies

yea i've been lookin at pics of 7 inchers, I'm starting to think 6" will looks better on my truck. The bed is pretty scratched and dented up, just can't tell in the pics.

Once you convert to a dually you should also do the semi tire/wheel conversion, that looks sick.
