Figured I might as well start a thread to show everyone my truck as I make a few changes along the way. For now most of my mods will likely be cosmetic and appearance based. The truck drives really well for my needs especially compared to the 04 Nissan Frontier I traded in to get it.
There are only two colours in the rainbow for this build. Black and Orange. Preferably Hemi Orange whenever possible. I'll reluctantly let the red for the rear brake lights stay in order to keep the local traffic guys happy...
So far only mods completed are the painted engine cover.
Weather Tech mud flaps
A Line-X bed liner courtesy of Ram who forgot to put in the factory spray in when building the truck.
And the Morimoto XB LED Angel Eyes that I just finished installing. I have a whole new respect for the work that headlight retro guys like JJ from RetroShop do. Buying a finished product from them is well worth the money. The labour involved is crazy. Also removed the chrome paint from the shrouds and blacked them out in low gloss.
Obligatory pics.
I have a Magnaflow 18 inch sitting in the garage awaiting install along with 35w 5k HID's and black Gorilla lug nuts. I plan to paint out the center caps on the wheels in black (surprise, surprise) when I do the lug nuts.
Future mods will hopefully include:
-powder coat the exhaust tips black
-paint/cover the brake calipers black or orange.... Haven't decided yet.
-retro'd fog lights with Morimoto Matchbox 2.0 projectors with 35w 3k HID's and either amber or gunsmoke Laminex film
-LED upgrades for the backup lights and plate lights
-smoked LED third brake light
-billet front and rear badges with something acceptably cool
-orange under hood billet accessories including a catch can from Billet Technology
-someday hopefully either rear 2 inch drop springs or a full 2/4 drop if I move the family back to the city and the truck becomes more of a toy than a daily driver.
Anyway enjoy. I'm sure I'll come up with more ideas on how to spend money as I go.
