Couple months later after a hit and run. Took out the taillights and bumper, and creased the rear quarter panel.

Added a TruxPedo tonneau cover. Lined my bed and rockers with Herculiner. It has stood up decently well.

truck looks good greg

i still havent gotten around to debading mine and thought about putting line-x/herculiner/bed covering on my rockers too

 

[Butch]

the bedliner looks like a stock two tone, truck looks good

Thanks Butch. I did tape off where I wanted the rocker liner to go on so that way it looked like a stock 2 tone. From a distance you can't even tell. I ****** up a bit though, and there are some run spots in it. I have to get a new bed, so when that happens I will possibly take the liner off and have the rockers painted black so its a true 2 tone.

looking good. future plans?

Lookin this summer to update the headlights/bumper lights and get some new 'non-euro' taillights which will be tinted and paint the corners silver. Interior will be updated as well. I am going for a Silver/Black Two tone yet Camouflage look. I don't know if I will get the whole dash painted, but the gauge bezel will get redone, and I may possibly attack the plastic piece around the passenger side airbag.

Hoping to get an RCX 6" this summer as well as new wheels, but I think I will top out at 33" tires. New CAI will be first on the list as well as tearing apart the exhaust to put in true cat-back duals with a dump before the rear axle. New axle is needed. Mine is warped on one side, and has bullet holes in the other. So I am thinking about doing a bed with a sliding hidden ramp under the bed surface, but we'll see how that goes.

Overall: Hopefully a whole new yet functional look to the Silver Bullet.

looks good man. my 92 has the same hurculine on it just like yours i think its a good tough look to these trucks myself.

 

[95slowhoe]

so how loud is your truck being straight piped. Im looking at doing a y pipe and 45's at the bumper.

 

[Greg]

It is louder, but not that bad at start up and idle.

From around 1900-2400 RPM it sounds pretty damn good. Nice drone, and trust me I like the drone.

Get up at 35-4500+ RPM and it sounds like complete ****.

But I have noticed that it only sounds like **** If you have the throttle about 1/2 to 3/4 open.

If it's wide open, it just sounds like a built motor until you hit about 4500+ RPM, that is when it sounds like ****.

So, it sounds good as long as I don't really get into it, but if I do have to get on it, then it's either all or nothing.
