    So I was just looking at my profile picture and I realized how much money i've blown on this truck and and i'm still a long ways from being done, I'm just out of money and not even close to justifying the next thing (bumpers, lift, etc) that will be pretty expensive. But it has come a ways. So here is my before and after, not the best comparison shots, but here they are. Post up your "as you got it" pic vs where it is now.

    As I got it December 2018, a lot of money ago

    In retrospect I haven't been very creative, and I definitely "bro'd up" the truck with a few useless but aesthetic changes, made some changes that I use every day (the Prinsu racks) but i'm still pretty stoked about it. Last major thing was to bolt on the sliders and I'm working on the Anytime camera mode using the mode switch right now. Love the truck. Its definitely a pig compared to when I got it with all the weight I've strapped on, maybe I'll have to try the OV tune if I win the lotto.

    It looks like it got further away! ;) I need bigger pics, esp the "after". Love that color, if the dealer had had that, I would have done it...but they only had these and I've always liked how silver kinds hides scratches and dirt...at least to my eyes.

    best part of the truck is that dog in it, what a pup. super sweet truck though, you do have me beat out on spending money on the truck! I would love to get a high clearance front and rear bumper and 2 inch lift. But i have to put a kid through college starting next year, so likely I'll be enjoying the truck as it is for a while with more minor mods.
