Got new wheels and tires on the king ranch!

That looks good, a guy at work just put on full ranch hand bumpers he said the shop he went to had a ton of stock bumpers that ppl leave behind when they do full replacement bumpers. May be worth a shot to try to find a shop like that

Im doing a chrome Grille, clear headlights, chrome bumper with top pad painted tan, just the basic 05 king ranch from end cause I just always liked the way they looked and I dont think the harley grille would have looked right on the truck. The painting should be done tomorrow so I can get it all on.

Thanks man, I wanted to keep some chrome on this truck, I go back and forth, my 86 I kept chrome, 95 was all painted, 08 had chrome, fummins was all painted and now Im back to chrome. Plus I think the white and tan looks a lot better with some chrome. Im gonna paint the inserts of the grille tan as well. The top pad of the bumper is being painted right now and I should have the whole brand new bumper here today. Just need the pigtails for the headlights and tail lights and Ill be good to go.

Yeah thats a good call too, honestly for now I think Ill keep the steps just cause I love the diamond plate in them and how they are lighted, if they werent such nice steps they would be gone but Ill probably leave them til I can afford amps and they keep rock chips off the paint too.

Looks good, its shocking how much a set of wheels and tires can completely change the look of a car/truck.

Did you get a aftermarket or oem bumper?

Aftermarket insurance quality bumper. So very close to OEM quality, wasnt cheap but was still a good amount less than an OEM one.

SouthFlstrokin' · Jul 7, 2011

Oh alright. Let us know how it holds up...

Matt_P · Jul 8, 2011

Alright I got the 05 front end on the truck today, here are a couple quick pictures. Ill get better ones once I get the last couple things in.

Thanks, The king ranch emblems are the same thru 06 so I dont have to worry about those, and Ill either get newer powerstroke emblems or take them off and keep them off.
