    Changes coming! Thanks to Anthony for guiding me through the parts needed for the front end conversion.

    Everything is ordered - All I'm waiting for now is to find headlights so I can swap my retrofit into them, get the bumper tomorrow and paint, and find a grill.

    I'll be giving it a go at wrapping a grill, hood, and the bumper fillers. No idea how it's going to turn out but we'll see!

    Edit: Going to write this now just in case one day I'm selling the truck and someone thinks I got into a car accident and swapped front ends. No. I just got tired of the blob eyes and ugliness haha.

    Also been working on this a little with the workers. Doing a full kitchen remodel! Learned a hell of a lot, but I need the damn oven working to bake my headlights to retrofit!

    A few mods here and there and counting....
    12-15 front end will definitely update the truck. I just recently did mine. Can't wait to see the updated look.

    Are you going to go with a slimline style bumper too like Anthony did or just leave the stock valence?

    LED’s going behind the crown? Make sure you post a picture done!

    Never messed with that, but kinda thought some sort of light box under the crown.. with the led light illuminating the crown it self would be nice way to approach it.
    https://www.crownmoldings.net/Item/...MIp6_Sxdzw5AIVkIbACh0R_QbvEAkYBCABEgK2sPD_BwE

    I’m sticking with the basic 2 piece crown cause the home is 8ft ceilings.. if I had 9 or 10 and I would plan details like that.

    Looks great! Did you buy appliances already? Ge cafe has a 30 and 36 in rebadged monogram range which is really a nice piece you can get for an awesome deal at Pcrichard’s since they aren’t price locked like monogram wolf Viking J.

    We actually have tube LEDS running all along the crown molding wired to a dimmer switch! I’ll get a picture of it at night.

    Funny enough, I work at Wolf/Sub Zero! But no, no new appliances at this time. The kitchen remodel drained the bank account enough...However I would kill for a steam oven!

    Nice, that's a good bumper even if it is from the late pelfreybroke. Eventually I'll move on from the steel bumper I bought from ya and go to a plate aluminum. I think you definitely made a good choice just for weight savings sake. Every bit helps on these trucks.

    12-15 hood on!

    I had a silver one but I sold it a while back. Bought this one for $160 off Craigslist. Perfect fit.

    Actually LOVE the primer color. Debating just getting it cleared and running it!

    Tong gang!

    I had an OEM one but I sold it when I broke my camera for extra funds. Only annoying this that I swear, it’s a tiny bit crooked.

    Or my truck is crooked lol.

    I have my OEM hood bolts, is that what you mean?

    Edit: You mean literally regular hex head bolts?
