Thanks! That's actually just a sample image from AsianAnts but that's what it WILL look like when I get them.

 

Well it's been a super busy past couple of weeks. Finally got home from deployment and got to drive my truck for the first time. It's amazing, I love it. Between spending time with family and friends I've found the time to get some work done on it though! I'm gonna take pice of everything on Monday or Tuesday to post but I've finished the following:

Pioneer AVH-P8400BH Stereo w/ advanced app mode cable
Redline Hood Struts
Optima Yellow Top battery (still working on the RuffStuff battery box)
Wet Okole Seat Covers
Weathertech floor mats and window deflectors
FX-R Retrofit Headlights from AsianAnts
aFe Stage 2 Si Cold Air Intake
Tint
UWS Low Pro Tool Box

I still have to figure how I want to mount my battery box and that should be the last thing until I get back to Tennessee.

 

I will be back in Tennessee soon too....I can't wait to get back to my truck how was it getting to drive it again? I'm pretty excited to get stuff done to it. How much longer will you be at campbell

 

It was actually the first time I ever drove it. I had my family purchase it for me while I was over seas. But it's amazing I love my truck

I'll be at Campbell until the end of December then of to school in Virginia for a few months then I'll be in Campbell for a couple weeks while I get my stuff packed and shipped to Hawaii.

 

Updated with some pics finally!

 

Installed my RuffStuff battery mount!!

 

Looking good all you really need is get some black or gunmetal color rims and your truck will look sweet

 

Yeah I'm gonna look into getting the stock rims powder coated black when I get back home.

 

Got rear ended last week. FML!

 

Sorry to hear that. Is everything alright?

Frame damage?

 

Doesn't seem to be any frame damage from what I can tell. Still have to get it looked at and a quote on fixing it.

 

looks good man!

 

Thanks!


Taking it in to the shop tomorrow to get the rear end fixed. It will be in the shop all week While it's there I should get the color matched grille and maybe the skid plate I just ordered.

As a bonus though I got the shop to order the color matched bumper though soon I won't have anymore ugly chrome.

 

whats wrong with the rear end? and yeah i hate chrome. all my emblems even the one on the grill are plasti dipped and so is my rear bumper. this winter i think i’m going to paint/ bed line it all.( may do a camo hydro dip on the emblems, and i want to bed line the rear bumper. plasti dip was really used just to see how i liked it.

 

See above post about getting rear ended

I painted my grille emblem yesterday, looks great, still have to do the others but that will have to wait until I get it back.

Bed liner was the way I was gonna go with the bumper until the dude said he could get the color matched one. Plasti-dip is great to see how it looks but just doesn't last long enough.

 

oh. idk why i was thinking something wrong with rear diff or something.

and i did my emblems like may of ’11 and no problem. i like a black bumper on the sliver better. on like yours color is nice.

 

Got a call from the shop today, no damage to the frame or bed and it could possibly be ready tomorrow

And I got my new grille in the mail today
