Jealous looking at these beautiful new rigs. The red bowtie, the black bowtie and the new beige F350 -- three new diesels to be proud of. Congrats guys.
Quick question for the guys with the black Chevy 2500- what do you mean you "changed the 4x4 sticker"?
I don't like the little dinky 4x4 sticker and they had a nicer looking Z71 4x4 sticker that came on the "Z71 Appearance Package" trucks. It's the ones that have the body colored bumpers and grille. So I had them peel the sticker off and put the new Z71 sticker on. I'm different than most, I like my decals and emblems on my truck, where most guys I know are trying to take them all off. Here is a picture of the truck, sorry isn't very good, it's about the only picture I have of it, and it was when we were still building our house.
Thanks for the picture, no need to apologize quality is fine. I agree that the Z71 striker is nicer and I also keep my rigs badged up -I find they look bare without and prefer to keep them as the factory intended.
One tip, add the transfer case skid plate. It should only run you $100 or so to be fitted. I believe the mounts are there but not sure. It's useful and will also make your truck an actual Z71 4x4 as the skid plate, sticker and terrible shocks (Tenneco's with zero rebound on my 2009) are the only thing that differentiated the Z71 4x4 from the plain 4x4. I always like skid plates and I change out the stock shocks for Bilsteins but other than that my pickups roll around unmodified.
