    What color should I powder coat the rear differential cover??? Comment below ⬇️

    banks diff cover is the way to go, I have it on my lml. A square body on the old frame with a flat bed would look sick!

  • @tonysims6858

    Go with the Banks cover. Get it in raw and you can paint it any color you want. The black and purple would look great.

    Gorgeous truck Josh. Definetly go Banks rear diff cover, leave it black. No dumpbed, leave that option out.

  • @davidhancock1788
    @davidhancock1788 Před rokem +1

    With what you plan on doing with the truck I would use the Banks. If you have time watch how his Dif cover was designed.

  • @AllThingsBoost
    @AllThingsBoost Před rokem +2

    perfect amount of purple, looks amazing. also I'm a fan of the black wheels on it over the chrome. keep up the great work!

  • @caleblevasseur2657
    @caleblevasseur2657 Před rokem +5

    I would do the banks diff cover purple with the black fin tips. I myself wouldn't do a dump bed because I think it'd ruin it. also, for shows, I would get 22 chromies. the last ti.e you put chromes on it, it looked really good for that purpose.
    my big thing is that I wish I had a garage to do this in with my truck. sadly it's not a diesel. it's a 1500 silverado.

    It's amazing to see this truck, your new shop, and all the other trucks you have come together and over time see how you have grown as well as the builds. I'm a proud supporter of your journey and channel. Also i think it's the perfect amount of purple. Nowadays everyone blacks out everything except for directly associated SEMA builds its nice to see something different. Good work! 🤘 💜 🤘

    I think a square body suburban would come pretty dang close to fitting the old frame I think it’d be sweet you make a sleeper out it if you went that route and I say no dump bed also and it needs some forged wheels for sure with some mud tires the anthem wheels are a good looking wheel but just look to cheap for the build your going for since they are a cast wheel just my opinion

    It's not to much purple at all you gotta remember it's got a ton of white which also makes either wheel choice look good as well. White almost is like a chrome where it is a neutral color so lots of colors go good with it for sure and with the flake and the suspension parts illusion purple it's gonna look awesome especially in the sunlight driving down the road ! 😀 ❤️🧡💛 the wife and I love the wifemax it's coming along amazing
