    Installed the Morimoto XB LED Headlights. I have been debating on whether or not spending nearly $1500 on headlights is a good or bad idea.

    Might buy a new trd pro grille too because I had to modify the current grill to fit the raptor lights and the raptor lights are currently broken. The grille looks wack without the lights mounted so I'm keeping them there until I decide to do something about it.

    Love the build. I've been going back and forth on wheel color and this has me convinced; matte bronze looks so good on the super white. Curious, what was your main reason for dropping down to a 16" wheel from the stock 17?

    Sorry for the late response lol. I went from a 17 inch to a 16 inch because I wanted more sidewall on my tires. I also like the "small wheel big tire" look on these trucks

    My truck kinda modded itself over the weekend while I was home from college. Gonna replace these emblems with those magnetic flags when I get the chance.

    Are you still a 265 with the new lift? It looks real clean!

    Yup still 265/75. Might lift it even more next year. I really like the fox shocks though

    On my way home from college I noticed my LED tag lights were flickering. I swapped the halogen bulbs back in and within 20 minutes they blew up lol. I replaced my broken halogen bulbs with some new LED tag lights from Amazon. These new tag lights are comprised of an LED housing instead of an LED bulb.

    Since I'm going to be home for a month I decided to detail my truck. I detailed cars part and full-time throughout high school and whenever I come home from college so this isn't too new to me. Also had a recall on the 3rd brake light so the dealership put a thicker seal around it.

    Hand wash and claybar on the outside was enough for this truck lol

    Installed a relay holder and mounted my relays to it. I bought this relay holder like 2+ years ago and I couldn't figure out how to remove the metal clip from the relay until today LOL

    Here is how it sits right now

    Installed the anytime front facing camera. This kit allows me to view the front and rear cameras at any time while the truck is on.

    How is the white paint holding up? I read something about the white having paint issues. Have you experienced any of that?

    Great truck, btw!
