    My original plan was to pay off the truck, and start working towards my desired build afterwards.

    It’s not much, but it’s a start. Purchased rims & tires from a local TW member here in North Cackalacky.

    Excellent quality, plenty of options for military and first line auto badges. Highly recommended.

    I had one that tarnished after a thunderstorm. They shipped replacements with no questions asked. Great customer service.

    One of my favorite vendors for custom trailer hitch covers, front license plates, and TRD badges.

    Just ordered this Currahee cover recently. There’s a ton of variety... The prices and inventory varies between the website, Etsy, and Amazon so check around if interested.

    Excellent quality. This is my second order. The other held up great in our harsh winters. I just wanted variety with the 506th Infantry cover. Tbh I haven’t seen better military options on the market.

    Nothing beats free and easy. The owners manual provides more details, but the basics are:

    -Wipe the USB of all files. Create 2 folders, label the folders and jpg as mentioned below. It is case sensitive.

    -It must be "StartupImage” and “DisplayOffImage”.

    -The proper ratio is supposed to be 1:0.53. This will eliminate any black space around the edges. I will need to edit mine later, but this the current set up.

    -Had to reformat the USB to fat32.
