I really haven't made a dedicated thread for the truck since I got it in Feb. of 2011. I've checked a few smaller things off my list, another (small) one tonight.
Since I bought the truck, I've left it pretty stock to retain the warranty, as I've always had a sneaking suspicion something wasn't quite right with my transmission. While that remains to be seen, I don't want it to go and have it blamed on oversized tires and 5" of lift.
-15% tint all around
-Dee Zee slim black anodized toolbox
-Line-X spray in liner
-Cobra 29WX CB radio
Box and rhino line
-2" Rough Country leveling kit was done with 800 miles. I removed a lower air dam as well that stuck down 3" or so off the bottom of the bumper
Before
After
-I welded on an Aero Turbine muffler on the stock 3" exhaust, I figured $700 cat back would be useless, as most of them are 3" piping anyways. I'll get a sound clip eventually
-2500/3500 telescoping towing mirrors (heated/power/integrated turn signals)
These suckers rock. Having the split mirror is awesome, and completely eliminates blind spots if adjusted correctly.
-Tonight I painted the emblem center black. Nothing crazy, but the grille surround and bumpers will be following shortly behind. I've never been a big chrome guy, and have loved the look of the Denali/All-Terrain trucks with body color painted bumpers.
Before
After
I'm a fan of the outcome, and for $0.00 investment and an hour of my time taping it off and two coats during smoke brakes while watching MIB 3, I've got zero complaints.
I'm going to start painting other shit little by little, I'll update as progress is made. I'll be needing tires soon as well, so I'm going to get some aggressive 33's in the next month or two
