that was the thought process behind getting rid of my stock headlights. truck looked more like a flava flave than a rosa parks.

had the tailgate handle and grill crossbar painted. now the headlights are done. foglights and bumeprs are next, then maybe door handles over the fall and it will all be gone.

nah im joking. you really didnt tell me that lol.

thank you thank you, truck is slowly getting there. should be at a good point by the end of the year. i want to have everything i want to do to it done so next year i can install cam and stall and it can sit like that for a few years. by then ill decide if it gets the blower or where im at in life. and go from there. having a kid now i leave everything in the clouds.

but over the next two months ill have my JL components installed, my bumpers blacked out, long tubes and electric fans installed. redyno tuned with those plugs intake and ported throttle body which were put on after the last dyno tune. billet servos, steel cowl hood, aem wideband and aeroforce interceptor gauge. MAYBE MAYBE LED exterior/interior lighting. thats cheap enough i can just do next year though.

My truck is so weird. Its the lonestar edition. It has chrome door handles, a black tail gate handle, black mirrors, chrome grill and bumpers and chrome running boards. It is very odd.
