    I just finished piecing together the truck I’ve always wanted. Only issue I have with it is it’s not 4WD. Give me your honest opinions or recommendations on what’s next plz. I was thinking a brush guard?? :thumbsup:

    Congrats. I’d say a good alarm/gps to protect your investment.

    Nice ride! Maybe a bed mat and driver/passenger window tint? Also, the sport model oem smoked headlights will fit up to your year.... would go good with a color matching grill.

    Yeah.
    Looks good! Remove the stickers from the tires and polish the headlights. If you drive through brush a lot, a brush guard can help, but if you live in deer country it is not advised.

    just noticed the traction bar... did you install it because of an issue and if so did it fix it?

    A bed mat and window tint are on my to-do list. Headlights would be a good addition. Yes I installed the trac bars because I had pretty bad axle wrap. And yes the trac bars were a great choice. Zero axle wrap, not any rougher of a ride, and I may be thinking to far into it but I think my truck drives better down the highway too.

    Looks very nice but as you stated it's not 4x4. So maybe sell it for an inflated price and buy a 4x4 if that's what you desire.

    I’ve thought about selling it and buying a 4x4, but with the amount of work and money I’ve invested I’m too hardheaded to do that. :p

    Also, there aren’t too many reasons to have 4x4 down here in South Texas. Not much snow or mud down here.

    Nice looking truck OP, congrats and welcome to TW. I’d be hesitant to put a brush guard on, you hit something and you’re likely looking at compounded damage to include the frame, due to the brush guard bending inward
    If you’re bent on customizing the front end, get a legit, crash rated bumper like an ARB.
    Just my two cents, ultimately it’s your truck, so do what makes you happy!
