That's great. Do you think the X2 is worth the money over a VP or fibermax? Im looking to get one within a couple months if I can convince the wife.

I didn't even look at the fibermax. I had 2-3 of the trifolds on my 08-10 trucks......didn't want that on this one.

where did you find the color matched bumpers at?

dealer + body shop ;)

I think he had them painted to match.

:happy107:

Love the transformation. Any plans for the interior?

I didn't have plans do to any of this..........LOL - not sure I'll do anything to the interior. We'll see.

I was thinking the same thing, I'm having a tough time finding a paintable front bumper for my 15.

Outdoorsman bumper. Comes in gloss black - but great for painting!

i had no plans on even modding my 4th gen and i painted my bumpers a week into ownership :roflsquared:

alot of us say we wont be doing any mods to our truck and then we wonder where a few thousand dollars went

saying you won't mod a truck when you have modded your last 3 vehicles is like a alcoholic saying i won't drink that beer that is in the fridge lol

What size wheels did you get? If you don't mind where did you get them? I have only been able to find replicas, my past experience with replicas are they look nice. With potholes in NYC they don't last long.

Great looking truck. I love the color and that ceramic coating :happy107:
I had ziebart put the diamond gloss on mine. I get the same effect when it rains. But I only found out about ceramic coatings after I had it done. I am wondering now if it would have been a better road to take for paint protection?
Anyway I cant wait to see more mods, keep it coming dude!!

Lmfaooo my wife told me ok you have a truck no need to do anything to it like the previous trucks I said yeah yeah oh yeah. Led bars lift exhaust tires those aren't mods because it's natural for a truck to look that way [emoji23]

Beautiful truck!

I like how your shop truck moves along faster than some of our everyday trucks do.
