Before and After

HARDTRAILZ · Mar 13, 2012

How about a simple comparison thread.... A pic of your truck when you got it or before the mod bug bit and then a pic of how the bug has changed your ride..

Mine----

Basically stock but for the basket I had on bolted to stock crossbars

How it is these days...

May try to go back to place of the first pic and retake it as the truck is now. Would make for better comparison.

Are you sure. That top pic looks alot better than the black wheels. Maybe its the lighting. I might dip mine for winter next year. See if its easyer to clean in the spring. Salt around here is very hard on the rims.

That picture is deceptive that clear has been in awful shape since day 1 and black is much meaner chrome feels cadilacish to me. I'm still yet to get a good picture of my ss most of my pics are driveway shots lol

Bringing this thread back. Some newer guys never got in on this and some of us have kept modding and have even more change.
