    I built my truck a couple of years ago, but never had a chance to post any of it. I always come on this site to search for information and tips, and thought I should join the community since there is so much useful information on here.

    Below are the pictures of my build. Ask me any questions you may have, but I probably won't remember the answer since its been so long!

    Future upgrades:
    -De-badge
    -Lower license plate mount
    -fix interior ripped seat
    -Magnum Force Stage 2 Air Intake
    -Replace Cracked window visor
    -Replace rear bumper and tailgate
    -Paint fog lights yellow

























    How she sits today:
