I used to ride a lot but i sold it a couple years ago. Wish i still had it.
I'm 29 and I just started doing to dirtbike riding only three years ago now I'm hooked love to ride I own a brand new 19 KX 250 just bought it few days after my 29 birthday in May and still have my 07 CRF 450R Honda. As for my truck I'll make a post listing the brand of all my parts( including the stainless steel bug deflector) and were I got them my wheel and tire size so on so forth when it completed. As far as 2" cowl hoods vs 4" in my opinion the 2" rise looks so much better the 4" to me looks to drag race carish but each to there own. I will be switching back to brand new chrome bumpers at some point aswell so get a good look at them painted bumper cause they won't be on long. There's just something about chrome I love

If it were me I'd get one of those chrome drop bumpers. Probably not as big as this one:

Was thinking the same thing I think a company called Western made some nice drop bumpers for these trucks I want to bring back some of that 90s look. Not the old school red neck crap but some of that's 90s style not into how most people are building there trucks now adays. It seem like everyone buys a truck then some plastic dip or spray paint and just starts blacking stuff out. That is not my style any highschool kid can spray can everything on his truck black no body seems to do the chrome anymore but I'll be chrome till I die then might have my casket chromed aswell lol.

I started riding when i was little. My last bike was a yz125 and that was a fast bike! My plans were to get something bigger but i got in a wreck and had to get knee surgery, so i just said screw it for the time being and sold it. I’ll probably get another one sometime soon. As the cowl hood I just wanted something different but a 2” looks way better now that I think about it. The painted bumpers do look good but i do think chrome will look 100x better on your truck because of the mirrors and rims.

That truck is beautiful!!! Where can you get one of these bumpers at? Ive been wanting one for a while now. I also love the bowtie on the back glass and the whips. My neighbor used to have a truck set up just like that and i loved it. I wish I could’ve bought it, my dad painted it for him when the boy was in high school for free and it turned out super nice.
EDIT: look at them tail light covers!

Maybe I missed it somewhere - but what are you using for paint? I haven't sprayed any single stage paint since the 90's...

Them window trim pieces on the doors were the parts I was talking about I poster earlier everyone had to wait them were the parts I've bin color matching on these trucks for years and iv yet to see anyone else do it I'm sure someone has some were but not that I've ever seen I think it justs adds a little bit more to the look.
