First thing to get done was to dip the grill and bowtie


July 15, 2013
Next was replacing my ugly ass cab lights, with Putco LED Ion-Chrome Replacements


July 23, 2013
After that was a Missouri Bug Shield!


July 29, 2013
I was then hooked up with a prototype step bars, made by Luverne. These were one of there first Stainless Steel Baja Steps to hit the road and boy do I love them.


July 31, 2013
I contemplated tow mirrors, I LOVE them and would never go back. They look a million times better and I can see a lot more behind me.



November 2, 2013
I decided to plastidip the body side moldings and door badges.

December 21, 2013
New tires 33inches Hankook DynaPro ATM 10ply and tinted front windows 35% because that is what is legal in Missouri


December 25, 2013
I received a ReadyLift Leveling Kit and 2inch Rear Block for Christmas.


January 4, 2014
I installed the leveling kit and rear blocks. Since I had my truck in the garage I wired up some PIAA driving lights and mounted them on a CARR light wing.



February 9, 2014
HID Fog lights 6000K Installed. Low beams, Fogs, and PIAA lights on


February 18, 2014
My LED tails came in! Made by ANZO before and after picture attached


February 19, 2014
New Headlights and Turn Signals came in and as soon as I got home I quickly Installed them took about 20 Minutes. These are also ANZO lights, the Turn Signals are 100% LED and were not cheap


Also sometime a got a different antenna. Here is a photo of that and the whole truck again

Nice looking truck. ... Any future mods?

March 31, 2014
PlastiDipped the lower plastic on the bumper black. From the old faded gray to black looks sooooo much better.



April 3, 2014
A buddy of mine had a Superchips Cortex Tuner that he doesn't use anymore. So he gave it to me! I have actually seen about +3 MPG.


June 5, 2014
Tinted the Rear Side Windows, Back Glass, and a Brow on the Windshield 5% over factory, which makes it really dark and a pain in the A** to back up at night.


November 5, 2014
I PlastiDipped the Bumpers to protect them from the salt from the winter weather. Also Dipped the Center caps of the wheels, just for a different look and I still don't know how I feel about them.

I plan on getting a Spray in Bed Liner, a Bed Cover (probably a tri-fold), new radio, and more "Off Road" Lights

Thats a nice looking truck you have!! Good mods so I like the look.

Do the PIAA have a nice light output?

Sweet build. She looks great and has come a long way.

The PIAA's have great output and a great warranty, but a co-worker of mine has Rigid Dually's which are LED have very very good light output. The PIAA lights on my truck good a great job and I love the look they have given my truck. Also people in little cars don't like it when you drive with them on !
But also don't forget to turn them off when you get out of your truck or they will run your battery down, I have done it once.

Very long way indeed, every time I see a photo of my truck stock I'm like "WOW, things have changed"

How much did all this cost, and if you don't mind how much did you pay for the truck?
