    image.jpg image.jpg I'm 19, just bought this truck and plan on building it.
    My plans as of right now are:
    - Exterior -
    - Custom Front Bumper
    - Custom Rear Bumper w/ tire carrier
    - Custom roof rack
    (I have access to a plasma cam)
    - Custom side steps with rock sliders that will bolt to them
    - CB Radio
    - Led Light Bars
    - Custom built HID's
    - Led tail lights

    - Interior -
    - leather seat covers
    - Screen radio w/ navigation
    - Weather Tech floor mats
    - Boston Acoustic speakers
    - sub, amp and all that

    It already has a Roll n Lock tonneau cover (which Amazon wants a grand for) kinda happy the previous owner bought that for it. My only complaint though is if I wash it, it freezes so the next two nights and morning I can't get into the bed.
    I'll have to build it one thing at a time so we'll see how it is when I'm finished. The first thing I'm going to do is the radio because Hello by Adelle and commercials get old quick

    I don't know, I just got the truck a week ago. My friend has a 2015 with a factory 2.5 leveling kit and the same size tires and they are exactly the same height

    Just got a sheet of steel to make my front and rear bumper, it's 4'x8' 12 guage steel. Hopefully thats big enough for the front and rear. For my purpose that's thick enough.
    I'll be posting a tutorial as I go with it

    What kind of bed cover does it have? Have any pics of it up closer? I want to find out what brand/type mine is so I can sell it for a reasonable price.

    It's a Roll N Lock retractable cover. This one runs you about a grand

    The school I go to has one so I'm going to use it to make the cuts. Computers won't mess up cuts. You could probably find a high school or college near you and ask them to let you cut it
