    I first started my build by covering up most of the chrome badging.



    I installed Slim Line in-channel window vents. I lovelovelove these.

    Next took off the mudflaps and the lower "Chin strap" air dam. 105932245_10103275132355314_308728314409_620da36aaaa7cb1d404043036d8e1cd810f5251c.jpg

    Forgot to add this. But this was a dent I pushed out of the driver's side front bumper.
    Hot water does wonders!

    I also built a PVC frame so my truck and hunting boxes wouldn't be sloshing around in the bed.

    This is the video I made of me and my struggles. I installed the Sokie Tech hood struts. And let me tell you it was worth it!

    Ended up getting a Hooke Road Front Bumper.
    It needs some extra support which I ordered from BackWoods Adventure Mods
    Easy to put together, easy to install... Once the hard part of cutting the truck is out of the way!
