Susceptibility to the "mod itch" and hanging out on the forum cannot coexist with a determination to not do mods without extreme stress related illnesses that may be extremely hazardous to your health. I'll just recommend now to go and get your build thread started.

Some different tires would look nice. You could always sell those stock ones for a little deposit towards the upgrade. Nobody wants to send any tires to their death, not even if their bald. Sell them to another guy to deal with later. Just let me know if you need any additional motivational support, I got your back. Sincerely, your neighborhood mod dealer.

Nicks actually a real neighborhood mod dealer. I guess I'm just a motivational speaker.

Trucks lookin good. Glad to see your not leaving your girl hanging out in the rain naked, that's not cool!

Sounds like a great list of mods. I love that truck. When I was buying my truck in April, it was the granite crystalline and the white sport night that I was as torn between. I pulled the trigger on the granite.

Truck looks great !!! A couple questions about your steps ... Which ones are they ? Where you able to remove the step pads before paint, or just mask em off ? Thanks ... My rusty POS N-Fabs gotta go, and yours are exactly what I want to do ... Just never saw it done before ... Any info would be great

Im not 100% sure but those look like the factory painted boards that come on the Limited trim level.

Ive never been able to find out for sure if they come painted from the factory or if you order them and have to get them painted after. Im guessing they are raw and you'll have to pay to get them painted.

@pgr1990 ...nice truck, even without the mods! Ill be looking out for you on the roads of CT ;)

My last truck was granite what a beautiful color! I miss not having to wash my truck every other day this bright white is hard to keep clean!

Those steps are completely factory! I bought it off the showroom floor like that. It’s an option for the Night edition to have color matching side steps.

Yeah I’ve owned 13 cars in my life and every single time I got into a new car Ive said “I’m keeping this one bone stock” until I go on the forums and start splurging like an addict on mods

What part of CT do you live in? And did you get affected by the tornados?
