Bought this truck in November of 2014, used with about 18K miles on it.

First thing I did was exhaust (true dual, leaving factory tail pips alone) and was toying with ideas for custom exhaust

The following year, I installed a sport bar, by Go Rhino

But, that wasn't enough...

So, got myself a Westin bull bar

With all the places to add lights, I decided it was time to do so, but I'd need switches for those lights, and somewhere to mount the lights...

After mocking something up, decided to design one and 3D print it.

Ended up running some Kawell round lights and a pair of PIAA RF series LED bars

Including some reverse/load lights, also Kawell.

Last Summer, I decided to polish and seal the paint.

And made my own trailer hitch plug (3D printed as well).

And decided the Kawell were too much of a flood light, so swapped them for some Primelux 7" LEDs

And some custom covers/inserts for them when not in use

Then came a day in early Fall of 2017 when some moron decided to cross 3 lanes of traffic and shove a work truck into a space the size of a smart car... And his insurance company wanted to go to court over it, which would cost more than the damage was worth.

But, the body shop in my town has great rates, does quick work with great results.

Then in early 2018, I made the final payment and decided to treat myself (and the truck) to a pair of new shoes.

And wouldn't you know it, the day I get the wheels installed, it had to snow... lol

Here are a few samples of a couple storm shots I've gotten in the last couple years:

Yep. 2006 Daytona R/T. Special ordered on July 5th, 2005, took possession September 6th of 2005.

Been toying with the idea of selling it this year, I only put 500 miles on it in the last 2 Summers.
