What charger pad did you use? I'll have to go look at some, but I know nothing about them.

I bought a "samsung" charger from eBay. I think it may be a knock off, but it was cheap and it works. You'll need a wireless charging adapter for your phone also. I have a galaxy note edge, so I bought the one samsung makes for my phone, but there are some good adapters for most phones.

Question for you guys: should I keep the bull bar? Here's a shot with it removed:

Also, I'm thinking I might tint those clearance lights black. The orange doesn't exactly go well with anything.

I think the bull bar looks okay, but I think I'm going to repaint it matte black, keep the lower shield off it, maybe add a red stripe to it, then I may start some lights back onto it.

Big and flash add-ons aren't really my thing, this truck is my first "modded" vehicle, so I'm a little more open to trying new things with it. I would like to find some nerf bars for it, most people I transport are too short to comfortably get in and out.

The votes are in and the bull bar is going back on (with a fresh new coat of paint)! I put a satin finish on it, and I think it turned out well. I didn't go crazy trying to return it to original, that would take some time and bondo. It's also not going to likely be a permanent thing since I'd like to replace it with a bit better one. Next step, clearance lights while I wait for my mind to decide how much it likes the grille.

I just did mine the other day with bed liner out of a spray can. Used self etching primer first and then did a couple coats on it. It was chrome first

I know it's gonna be a little different since mines silver but here's kinda what it looks like with the black headlights and grill

I just realized that I never posted up a final version of the truck.

I put the bar back on and blacked out the clearance lights.
