I have a problem. I bought my dodge in 2005 and have worked on it as I could afford it. It's been my D/D and tow rig for all my junk. I haven't done too much visually but I thought I made it my own.



Recently someone in my town bought a truck JUST LIKE MINE! He also drives like an A-hole! I've been called numerous times from family telling me to slow down. I've even gotten a call from my buddy, who helped me do most of the work on this truck, telling me to stop beating on it! So my problem is what can I do to make it look different? I started with this...

First thing that sprang to mind, is lose the stacks, if you're not too attached to that look. I'd keep 'em though. Short of some kind of broad stripe down the side, or painting it a different color, or some other EASILY visible change, I really can't think of much else. Good luck, and nice pickup!

Some huge unique sticker across the tailgate or back window...

Although I do like the spraypaint idea...

I was thinking paint the stacks with BBQ black and possibly some bumpers, like this one



What do you guys think?

i know it's a dodge but i'd put one of our rangerstation stickers on a bug deflector and see how long it takes for people to notice the diffrence. if all else fails take a ranger and run over his.:icon_rofl:

I'd say to 2-tone the truck, spray on black bed liner from the bottom up to the lower body line. And then put on some nice flames from the front fenders over the doors. Maybe even a nice winch bumper.

LOL! Where in Jersey do you drive that thing, because I know I have seen it before. I live outside of Toms River. I just wonder who it was I saw then. The stacks and the huge cummins logo are something I would not forget. Unless there is a 3rd truck like that.....

Fender flares might do the job, but the spray paint idea wouldnt be mistaken.

Wait for him to blow his up. Dont waste your bucks.
Sounds like he doesnt know how to treat a rig. His custom dents will stand out and make your truck look good.

American flag or camo rear window tint, Moon visor, Bed spoiler, shiny chrome bug deflector, cattle-catcher, autoventshades, hood scoops stickers, cab protector, custom rims if you got the buck. Those are some things you could do if your dead set on changin your rig. And 2 giant American flags between the stacks so they dont get soot on them:icon_thumby:
