    Replaced the front grille with one from empyreoffroad.com. Awesome grille and easy to swap out.

    Welcome @heymaan ! This should get you started on the road known as "emptying your wallet" for mods. :thumbsup:

    And, no need to remove the air dam, not sure why there is so much hate for them on here. :boink:

    It’s a herd mentality thing. Kinda like you’re not cool unless you eliminate all the chrome.

    Mods are a slippery slope to an empty bank account.
    Grill looks good though.

    Do you have the adaptive radar? Is that what the square space is for in the center? If yes...did it have to be recalibrated or anything?

    The black square is for the TSS sensor, works fine no recalibration required

    For an even more different look, you could paint the air dam to color match the truck, sorta' like @Mokanic did.
