as she's sitting right now

Might be gettin the towhooks chrome plated(buddy said he'd do it for a case of beer lol)

I'd like billet but i'm hagglin the idea of some off road lights molded into the honeycomb also. heck maybe do both and switch it up from time to time lol

hood struts hopefully in the next couple of weeks

decals....would look great but what i'm plannin on doing in the future is the lvl2 rear end with the l/s and then i can do the edge sticker delete and get me some fx2 decals :)

Sounds like a plan on the tow hooks.

You can always do what Brendon did and throw your dayliters behind a billet grille





didn't affect the light output or cooling and looked great.

Toolbox mod! Works awesome even with a quad in the back. For how small it is I managed to get the basics in there. 2 gallon gas can, cheapo tool set, first aid kit, flares, blanket, box of extra bulbs and fuses, torque wrench, and a bigger bottle jack :) picked it up for super cheap so I was thinking of having a guy by my house powdercoat it black at his work.


Also working on some aux backup lights but the weather hasn't been the greatest to get under the truck and run the wiring

For sure. I was torn with the quad situation but this works out awesome! Front tires still sit on the floor of the bed and my tie downs at the dront of the cab aren't hindered!

Don't really need the cargo lights. I'd like to go led on the third brake light though! I've gotten rear ended 3 times so any extra red lights would be a plus lol

Next paycheck I might(MIGHT) order my lift lol. Only thing buggin me is how much tread I have left its hard to justify buying bigger tires haha

Got my backup lights on but really wasn't pleased with the output. So I'll probably go with the kc backup kit instead

Ha ha ha that's part of the problem. You'd be shocked at how fast you can max out an account with a $2500 limit lmao. I'm tired of making $200 monthly payments!
