Beautiful truck. Did you pick up a primed plastic grill to paint? Or did you figure out a way to strip/paint over the chrome?

The new grill on the truck was a primed plastic, the old grill that was painted was the factory chrome grill.. once you da sand the grill and sand by hand starting with 220 then to 320 then to 400 your good to shoot epoxy primer then base coat then clear over top.. the trick to painting over chrome is sanding very good until there is no more gloss left, and using a quality epoxy primer to bond over the chrome..

Built a new set of headlights, color matched to the truck, started with Alpharex pro lights and also added LED high and low beams..
Also recently had a set of AmericanForce 24x14 -90mm offset concave wheels machined.. and paired them with amp 35x13.50 tires, i am very happy with the tires actually.. shocked how super quiet and smooth they are..

Did you happen to take any pics of when you were mounting the console into the truck? I'm trying to put a new console in my 4th gen and wanted to update it to the newer truck style if possible. Thanks!

Truck looks awesome. Wish I could progress like that on my truck!

Any wiring schematics you could explain how to do the wiring for just the console?
Thanks
