    Most of you guys are on the SC thread but and seen this but I got her back from the dealer today after the "driveline TSB". The truck drives great and is almost as smooth as my BMW!!!![​IMG]
    New parts from TSB
    Engine mounts
    engine mount insulator
    4 pack leaf springs
    bumper RR spring (no clue what this is)
    Steering wheel damper

    I strongly advise getting this TSB if you have a 12+ it is totally worth it.

    Nice wheels! I went ahead and went for the grill mod and it went well until a family member let the dogs out and one of them nicked a corner of the wet paint. The damage wasn't horrible but it is enough to get the OCD going so I may order a color matched from Partsgeek. They're only 100bucks there was wondering if anyone has heard anything about them?

    Anyways back to your build; did you black out your headlights on your own and have you had any issues with them since? And keep me posted on any issues that may arise with the new bumper, I am tempted to build my own aswell with how great yours turned out

    BWAAAHAHAHA :rofl: You guys are awesome

    Sucks about the dogs man haha, happens though. I did the black headlights myself, used Krylon paint, no primer. No problems there with the exception of I touched the inside of one lens without gloves so I have a fat :censored: thumb print staring at me every time I wash her LoL.

    I don't suspect any issues from the bumper, its 3/16" plate steel welded inside and out of each seam. I was very meticulous with my planning. My only concern would be how the spray on bedliner holds up. So far so good, but I'll be sure to update if I have any problems. If you do start to make your own reach out to me, I'll give you some pointers I learned during my build. :)

    Dumbass Dakota used plastic primer and enamel paint. Had to sand it all down. Took forever! They're fixed now, pics to come :spy:
