Does nothing for me...Dunno why but I think it looks really bad for some reason. I have been sitting here trying to put my finger on it, and I just can't! It's definately nicely appointed, but when I look at it, I like the normal stance of the mada much better then that.

IMHO.... :) :)

I'll go with triple on that one, maybe that's what was making it weird for me, you see no suspension in the wheel wells or anything. Does look a little Photochopped. I agree with you Bre...Like your paint scheme better! ;)

Anyone notice the 5-lug wheels on this truck. Haven't ever seen that before.

Its a photoshop. This is probably the plan for making it. The wheels are probably just cut and paste on. There aren't any 5 luggers out there. ;)

It has retractable running boards. First pic none, next set they are back. Good for off-roading, but it still not lifted though. Plus those aren't the same size tires they claim, they are pretty much standard street tires, unlike the aggressive ones on the photoshop. Kinda in-between if you ask me, Is it off-road or on-road??? I'm a little confused. If I had to guess by the rims/tires, strictly for show.

I'm with triple on this one. I think the lack of the molded running boards we are all used to seeing and the 24" rims may give the illusion the stance is slightly higher, when in reality it isn't. Those tires are definately "Offroad" tires, they wouldn't make it through the thinnest mud. They almost look like ZR rated tires, more performance oriented...

Nice paint job.

Might have a 1.5" lift on it. The wheel gap is larger than mine and I am stock height. Might have one of those Daystar or PRG coil spacers on it.

Does look very different without the factory running boards. Those new ones are practical. Cant bang them up on curbs or other things of that nature.

Chris Horn's Preproduction Armada had a powerstep and I did not like it...although our Armada's look good that way, I did not care for something that would attempt to take your ankles off every time you attempted to step out of it...

As for paint...I still like my truck....
