Below is a bit of a walk through memory lane. I included all the pics I could, but a lot of things were done without a free hand to work a camera

The day I picked it up from the dealer


Added Grillcraft (first real mod.. slippery slope)


Light bars on the BAMF mount, headlights out for BHLM


The day I decided the stock highway tires were not going to cut it. This tow strap broke and left a nice dent in the tailgate


It stayed in this form for quite a while. BHLM complete and shorty antenna have been added.


BlueSea aux fuse block and breaker, another breaker spot for future winch


Outlets in the cab, wired into factory inverter.


I decided it should be taller


And I did some trimming


New meats, US Offroad bumper, and XRC9.5 winch installed.



Roof light bar on MCM Fab mounts


Working on the Clazzio's

 

"TRD" hub cap mod

 

Nice truck.

 

Got the LED bar mounted on my roof today. I'm not totally sold on how it looks. Maybe I'll like it more once I get it wired and get to try it out. (waiting on switch in the mail)

 

Clazzio's came in! I got the drivers seat in late last night and I love it. I'll snap a pic when I finish the install.

 

Switches came in the mail just now!

 

Where you planning on mounting the switches in the sun glass holder?

 

One of the members on here is making me a custom panel that goes in the space in front of the cup holders, below HVAC controls. First prototype needed a couple tweaks, but the final version should ship out this week. Stay tuned for pics?

 

Looking really good so far! I like it. Good work!!!

 

I updated the first post with a bunch of pics I dug up. More of a build thread now

Thanks!

 

I noticed I was getting close to the end of my future mod list... so I added to it, a lot.

 

Got the rear Clazzio's in. The leather look really adds some class to the interior and the heated seats will be real nice once I finish wiring them. Pics when it's not so dark.

 

Yay! Skid plates are here! I guess I have some work to do getting them painted. (ignore my disgusting basement, it's a construction zone right now)

 

Good news everyone! My switch mounting panel came in and I got it painted... and full of switches! Hopefully I'll find time to wire some stuff over the holidays!

 

And I scaled all the picture sizes down so they wont break your internets anymore!

 

which bug shield is this?

 

I had the dealer throw it on when I bought it... I assumed OEM but honestly not too sure.

 

looks great! how complicated was the light bar roof install? i'd be curious to see what a difference that one makes when you've got it wired
