Looks good man!

 

Thanks dude!

The straps hook onto the gutters where the seal touches against the door. no issues with the door shutting or anything.

 

my new toy and the truck. 2007 FZ1. this is causing my truck mods to slow down a little lol but im enjoying the new ride.

 

Dude the truck is looking bad ass each day now. i like the new toy u got i bet that thing will get up and go. Haha!! were going to have to meet up somewhere so i can see the truck in person that thing is subbed. i work part time right now at food lion in lower creek. do you work at a tire place? if so which one?

 

after having a TON of rain i finally got a chance to wash the truck a couple days ago. Again, no real updates, just keeping the pics updated

 

Looks really good man! Nothing beats a good washing!

 

your telling me. even threw a coat of wax on the hood and tonneau. first time ive seen water bead up on it haha

 

looks good man. wax job looks awesome. it makes a difference with a good wax job. Haha!! pics are sweet man. still liking the racks on top of the cab. but really everything about the truck is amazing.

 

So I've got some quick fists on the way. looking to mount my flashlight in the cab. Also thinkin of mounting a shovel or something in the bed of my truck that would be handy. any other ideas?

anyway took a couple pics of my truck beside my dads. 2007 4x4 6 speed. originally had the chrome grille but i talked him into painting it and also adding eyelids. looks 10x better imo

 

Couple updates and pics. Ordered a 4 pack of quick fists (2 large, 2 small) and mounted my rigid industries flashlight my the shifter. Used the 2 large ones to mount a shovel in the bed. They are just zip tied on for now to see how Ill like the location. I want to keep the bed extender in so mounting it on the bed side was a little tight and unhandy. So now I'm not sure what to mount with the other small quick fist, maybe ill find something else handy.










Also attempted to flex the suspension a little. I never mentioned but i have

$105 Hellwig 550 Helper Spring Kit - 550

Hellwig 550 helper springs installed and wanted to see how the rear would flex with them installed. Also realized i should probably add the axle relocation brackets as the rear tire was very close to rubbing the front side of the fender.

 

With an extra can of plasti-dip and some down time, i decided to dip my rear bumper. i think it turned out good and definitely blends the truck together with the black/gold theme.

 

Hey man I'm from Lenoir as well. Love the truck

 

ordered an ultragauge to keep an eye on things. prefered the ultragauge over the scan-gauge because of the larger display and looks better imo and ill be mounting it from the windshield.

also have a set of TRS mini h1 projectors on order from the group buy to do myself a retrofit. ill do the bhlm while im at it. stoked to finally have good light output the right way

 

Hey man, good looking truck. I'm just curious... what size tires are you running?

 

preciate it! running 285/75/16

 

So I have tried doing the Plasti-dip on my emblems, and can't for the life of me, figure out how to not get it to peel off the way you did. I have got the side badges up front down, but the SR5's, and the back emblems on the tailgate won't work. What did you do?

 

tape a square around each emblem, dip them, remove the tape after your last coat while it is wet so the tape doesnt peel it, then remove the excess around the letters once it dries. on a couple i did have to take a blade around the edges but only used enough pressure to cut the plastidip. that made it alot easier to get it to peel cleanly

 

you won't regret getting retros, possibly one of my favorite mods!

 

I just got my retros in and gonna do them Once the halos come in as well. I'm sure your gonna love it. After all the photos I've seen, its a minor detail that adds soooo much to the appearance.

 

yea i cant wait to get them! Thanks skeet for helpin me out
