    I really like that green. Nice truck. Is the bumper color matched or is that a reflection?
    Tint, led map lights, car wash/detail, good floor mats, new engine air filter, new wipers, a CarPlay radio, supercharger.

    Thanks man! I plasti dipped the front end to match with the rims, so far it’s held up really well, better than I had imagined, I just put Apple CarPlay radio in and I love it, gonna get the windows tinted here pretty soon.

    I need to plasti dip the chrome on my bumper too actually, should buy a can tomorrow. CarPlay is a game changer I am a big fan, really updates these older vehicles.

    My favorite mods were some of the simplest. Backup camera, USB charging ports with volt meter and map lights.

    Better and safer. I consider LBJ and bushings among normal maintenance which should be considered before doing any mods.
