Tow Rig Outfitting... and sponsors!

So I've decided I'm spending my tax refund to outfit my tow rig, an 04 Dodge Cummins 2500. Most of you guys have seen pics, but if not, heres one:




So, in outfitting, I've decided the first place to start is graphics, rims, tires, stereo, and bumpers, after that who knows. I've already lined up a sponsor for the graphics, and I'm working on closing a deal with the rims and tires, and I've started contacting concerning the bumper. After those get knocked out, its on to the stereo!

So, I've had some work done by a buddy of mine designing the graphics, and I'd like to get some opinions. Now bear in mind these are VERY rough starts to the graphics, but its a good base to start with. So, which one does everyone like? (we've also added some rims to help give an idea)
Rims (in case you were curious):


Style 1:



Style 2:



Style 3:



Finally if you're wondering about the bumper, here's the one I'm thinking about, and talking to the manufacturer (of course this is still very subject to change):

Lol.... shoot me an email.

I vote style 0... not a fan of graphics. And definitely need white walls in on the tires.

Let me know if you're in need of a Yota transfer case, solid front axle, 22R motor, or rear axleshafts. I promise all proceeds will be directed back into the local 4x4 economy (Ok... Marlin may get some of the money) .

I have to agree you need to be a little more original more off road or racing geared on the graphics and they should start at the front bumper and flow back just don't look right from the rear of the fenders back.

Also if this is gonna be a tow rig I think you should consider a more manly set of rims maybe a set of bead locks?

Ha, can the graphics. They just dont' suit you. I am thinking more along the lines of doing black RT stripes over the hood and cab/tailate with some black racing lettering along the bottom of the doors and maybe some Cuda' style black simulated gills near the front fender area.

The wheels you have are just fine, although a set of oversize tires and discreet black flares could do you some good.

Check out the bumper I bought for my last Dodge truck, it is the Bull Nose Bar from Ranch Hand: http://www.ranchhand.com/frontbumperreplacements.aspx

You can't drive your savings accout to work, you can't tow your trailer with, and you can't sleep in it. And if you haven't noticed... "Bad economy" means a certain percentage of people are doing poorly. I'd guess that well over 50% of Americans are basically unaffected by any of that. And why put anything in savings right now, have you seen the interest rate???

Myself... I'm buying assault weapons with my refund

nice hans...

I've thought about stripes too...

On the beadlocks, this truck doesnt go offroad, no need for them. I'd rather have the bling. Offroad is for the Landcruiser.

I also for for 0. No graphics, stripes, flames, or any other gaudy mexiricer paint on your truck.

The rims look good, and something like a beefy front bumper would compliment the truck as well. But graphics, not so much.

Use your money for USEFUL upgrades to the truck, like a Turbo timer, exhaust brake, exhaust, towing upgrades, etc etc. No sense in having a "trick" truck if its not up to the task.
