    going thru a boredom phase and I've been contemplating selling off the wheels, rtt, and half of the sound system, then taking it a different direction. Just not sure which way I wanna go.

    Thanks. I'm just tossing around the idea at the moment. May just re-design the wiring and do an amp rack under the rear seat to change it up. Who knows at this point. Heck I've even considered putting the cheese grater grille and turn signals back on and rocking the chrome just because nobody else is embracing it.

    Thanks. Truck is super sleeper right now (which may be what bothers me). Lots of mods but nothing that just stands out. It just looks like a taller version of a stock truck. Maybe it's just time to save up and make a big mod that is more visible.

    Update 01/29/19:
    Decided I wasn't happy with my build, don't want to have a copy of everyone else, want something that is unique to me. With that said,
    I took off the Icon coilovers and went to an OME 886 setup.
    Removed the SCS wheels and BFG's and got Fuel Shok wheels with Yokohama MT's
    I also switched out the TRD Pro exaust, grille and shift knob for the factory originals.
    Oh and I ordered a new front bumper so the hidden winch mount will also be removed in the next few months.

    Here's the new look:
