Custom Dodge 3500

I am really happy the way this turned out.. I first built the flatbed then I decided to build a bumper with bull bar and that turned out nice then I decided to try a Lund sun visor with lights.. My dad had one on his 97 F250 and I kinda liked it.. So I tried one of my own on a toy since Ive never seen it done before and I think it looks pretty good. Let me know what you guys think

Tim, I know you want honest opinions so Im gonna give them to you, not wanting to hurt your feelings, not my intentions, but you are 1 to always better yourself the second time around, so im sure this will just be a learning project...ok,
1. visor 2 big and a little high on cab, trim it up a tad, drop it down so its level with cab and just above cab glass and you be good.
2. bumper not bad, maybe a touch on the to big side as you have an awfull lot of bumper there, trim some weight off of it and it, chope some off the bottom, and it will look better and not so bulky.{dodge front ends hate extra wieght anyhow!!}lol
3.that exhuast tip is just waaaay to big!!, its the same size as your rim!!!, that equals out to a 16" pipe if you think about it!!, just way to much, pickups just look nasty with anything over a 7" pipe sorry...

your flatbed on the other hand, looks great!, I really like how you have made them simalar to a western hauler bed.....so with that, somthing to go off of, and like I said, its not like your gonna get mad and quit, your more then likely gonne be bound and determaned to build it better and prove to me and others that you can do it! hence the whole point of my criticism!!!!.lol

SO BUILD A BETTER ONE!!!!! I DARE YAH!!!! HAHA!!!!! ;D ;D

Thanks doodah.. Yes I agree the pipe is way to big so lastnight I redid it with a cool lookin turnout pipe thats MUCH smaller. As for the bumper it was the first one so next one will be better. After installin the visor I didnt like the way it sat either but what do I do ehh. Take it off and Ill take a chance of messin the paint job up. Reason the flatbed looks so great is cause it was my 2nd one I did.. I always sceem to do ALOT better a 2nd time around.
