    Figured it was time to start one of these, and hope you all enjoy!
    Here she is, bought new on Feb 26, 2009. Bought with the deflector, and I added the running boards and grille guard 2 days later.

    AFE CAI

    Added aftermarket HL's, and did my own Satoshi with Grillcraft inserts. Used Plasti-Dip on both the Satoshi and the lower part. Didn't come out perfect with the putty that I used, but its good enough for me!

    truck1_a4a643137c30a3c7bca012b1363b1cc883011417.jpg

    Added an In-Dash Nav and Ultragauge. The Ultra is nice, but doesnt allow for changing tire sizes and the refresh rate is slow.

    Next I got a sick emblem from MetalMiller

    DSC00561_c3d4e41f87a59ed21135513609dc2e4853a74535.jpg

    Added some Redline Tuning QuickLIFT PLUS supports. Ended up drilling and mounting the bottoms in the wrong spot, so now I have a few extra holes:mad:

    DSC00559_6ceea027b7b7f989ff7af9e54325f4ee06b5f0f9.jpg

    Tossed on some 5100s @.85 and Eibach Coils, TSB +Toytec AAL in the rear. Alignment is ok, but will be getting some new UCAs eventually.

    Ended up getting some annoying lights after the install. Dealership told me that the ABS/Speed Sensor wires must have gotten stretched out. However, they covered it under warranty!

    Lights_a888e95a48071be8bf44e2cdd29452b637f812db.jpg

    Got "Socked" via Sockmonkey, with some rear window decals and some bedsides. Also blacked out the Tails and badges.

    DSC00552_b340959407745c63940af2cd58b0f2b21fbd6144.jpg

    Got some nice shoes, 17" XD Cranks (5bs) and 285/70 Duratracks. Ended up doing a bit of trimming, but doesnt look like I will have to chop the Cab mount. (I dont do serious Off Roading)

    Here she was back in June 2011. I also added an Aero Turbine 2525XL, you can almost see it in the pic. It sounds awesome, not too loud, but you know its there for sure!

    DSC00546_6319e42509c49b86199c278f47c83304766189d7.jpg

    The finished front end as of June 2012.. Retrofitted lights by LightModz and some Hella 500ffs.

    Changed out the tails for some aftermarket Egayy specials, but they look great and havent given me any problems!

    Last mod so far, emelianenkov was kind enough to hook me up with nice gauge mod!

    Hey great truck. I like the redline tuning hood struts. What series struts are they? I know redline makes three models. Also how do you like 'em do they work well and shut easy?

    Thanks.

    They are QuickLIFT PLUS I believe. Got them during a GB here. They work great once they are installed correctly, opens and shuts super easy. Would recommend in a second!

    I have roughly 2.5 or so. The 5100s @.85 and Eibach Coils are supposed to give somewhere round that much. I havent measured since it settled, but with 285s and that set up, depending on your Back Spacing, you will just have to trim some plastic and remove the Flaps.
