    Haha.... I'm not that stupid :D

    We were on our way back from a run last night and I just got to thinking that I needed a new truck. Left the station this morning and stopped by the house to pick up my factory wheels and then off to the dealership. I picked up a 2013 4x4 TRD loaded with every option. I wish I could have gotten a different color but it still looks good in white.



    As it sat on the lot (Don't know who the woman is gooning at me)

    Getting ready for the wheel / tire swap

    As it sits in my driveway right now. Got a lot of work tomorrow. First thing to go is the chrome grill.

    I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep the PIAA lights or order a Rigid Industries LED light bar. Speaking of... I need a new bar to mount the light bar too.

    Yeah me too. Even though I'll never use it for what it is designed for it's nice to have the piece of mind.




    I thought about that but I think I'm going to get a Baja mount to replace it for my kayaks. Got a clean slate to start from.

    Well if you want to keep the clean look and you are thinking about selling your light bar w/ or w/o the PIAA let me know. I would definitely be interested.

    I can almost smell the new truck from here. supposedly the rigid mounts for the sr series in the lower grill will fit an E series with just a little trimming, that is on the list for me soon.

    good lookin truck, can't wait to see updates/progress

    I will. I'm still undecided on what I want to do. I like the idea of one long led bar on front but just don't know how it would look. I also saw someone on here that actually mounted it on the roof and I kind of like that too so I'll just have to see. I still have the Nfab bar and lights and they are in perfect shape.

    Yeah, I've got to update my build page now. I'll figure the light bar thing out. Blacking out the grill tomorrow then trying to decide if I want to do the BHLM on these lights. Unlike the 2011 lights there really isn't a lot of bezel to paint. Yes it would look better but I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

    Thank you! I figured everyone would think I started drinking again as much shit as I talk about Dodge lol
