and of course I also used the front plate bracket by @ACEkraut which I highly recommend!!

everything looks and works amazing!

 

What kind of prep and/or primer did you use, if any?

I've been thi about doing the same but I'm worried that the paint on the textured portion would wear prematurely.

 

This is next on my list.. can’t wait

 

Very nice, changes the look dramatically. Don't forget those tweeter rings

 

Moved my EZ Pass from under my mirror to the right side of it (sold my UltraGuage EM Plus).
I think I'll get a BlackVue dash cam for the left side of the mirror.

 

I think I might leave those since the ac controls are still silver

 

I don't post here much due to budgetary constraints, but I'm super stoked about my latest mod. I wanted to preface this by saying that this never would have happened without the generous donation of sweat and time by @Vitalzone , not to mention the great price he gave me.

What I thought would be an hour or maybe two of time to slap these bad boys up actually took around 4 hours in the relentless Arizona sun. And I have the sunburned knees to prove it. They fit great but took a bit of work to get around two rivits on the frame.

I still have a little trimming to do on the fuel tank skid but with 3/4 of a tank they're not touching.

 

What winch mount do you have?

 

swapped out TRD OR wheels for Pros. Definitely wider stance on these

 

Pelfreybilt

 

Swapped out the lightweight stockies for the new 6x9 Kickers, mounts and harnesses. Better already. Now just waiting for the Kicker tweeters to get here. Took all of 9 minutes during some light rain. Easy peasy.

 

Got my heads back from the engine shop. Hopefully no extra parts when it's all back together.

 

Made a bunch of progress on the custom tailgate tire swing out. Only tacked up, but swings open under it's own weight.

 

I've been wanting to trim the OEM front bumper for a while now. So I figured I buy some trim to clean up the cuts. Jigsaw is probably going to be my choice of weapon.

 

Great price for those at Best Buy rn. Knocked mine out yesterday. Where you get the Kicker tweeters from?

 

This past weekend, I replaced the spark plugs (60k)...it was really neat when my hand rubbed against wire loom and it completely disintegrated. This happened on each driver and passenger side.

First picture: Driver Side.
Second picture: Passenger Side (after being vacuumed for reference of location).

 

That’s normal. Plastic gets really brittle after that long near engine heat. I just electrical tape the harness

 

Found a new pair for sale on Facebook marketplace for only $70.

 

Applied black emblem overlays.
