    ]Here's my 2013 single cab build, 5spd 4x4. Bough it in July 2013 after my car got totaled.

    Bought a used bull bar on craigslist. Sanded it and repainted it black.

    Got my new vanity plate and painted my emblem black.

    Took the bull bar off and painted it red.

    Decide to tackle my fog light install.

    Ordered a 50" curved LED light bar. Should be in soon. Going to build a back rack with mounts running to the front of the cab to attach the bar.

    Got my new rims in now just waiting on tires. Moto Metal mo969 18x9 and some General Grabber at2 275/70r18

    Ran into a snag left tailgate open and lost a rim out of the back. New one ordered hopefully here soon.

    Plasti dip my outer grille from gray to black.

    Next parts I'm ordering are LCE headers and light racing upper control arms.

    A few things
    Want to see how you mount your 50" curved bar and how it looks. I'm about to get the same thing and am still pondering different mounting methods. Nice truck!

    So far the best way I've thought of is I'm going to make a back rack and run a piece of steel up each side to the front and bolt the bar on to that.
