    Same here! She hates most things I do to the truck but its my hobby so I love it. I think the money is split pretty evenly between the two. I probably spend more on her but if you asked her she wouldn't tell you that! haha

    Finally some decent output shots. Really don't show just how bright it is but you can tell it is awesome.

    Bonus:

    A shot of all my bed mounted accessories now. Just wanted to show that the armor tech off road mounts fit under a tonneau. I would assume that All-Pros would fit too because they look very similar.

    This week is going to be HUGE for my truck.

    List of mods coming this weekend:

    All Pro AAL with U bolt flip kit
    Timbren Bumpstops
    Prinsu AccessRac

    Those three will be installed Saturday with the help of @Bman4X5. Otherwise I would be screwed and probably break the truck.

    Also, getting a new custom made grill from @Tacotopete so this is the current state of the front end of the truck. (I know... Shitty picture. Its Dark)

    Today is the day! Grill dropped off yesterday, roof top tent picked up.

    Today the AccessRac is installed and my rear suspension is getting updated.

    The rear AAL is the best thing I have done for the looks of my truck. I didn't realize how much I hated the "brodozer" look until I fixed it. Now I have a .5" rake and couldnt be happier.

    The only problem is that I got the wrong U bolt plates from all pro. It wasn't their fault. Just a communication error. I can't drive the truck until saturday when I have the new parts and fix it up with my girlfriends brother.

    The AccessRac went on without a hitch. I couldn't have done all this work without @Bman4X5.

    He's going to do a write up on how to install an accessrac soon. The guy knows his stuff.

    Anyway, here is the final result! Ignore the fact that I have no grill til this weekend.

    Did a lot this week!

    After the rack and AAL, I got a cab mount chop done and a custom grill! Next up are some retrofits to install.

    Haha I've been home from school working a ton. Since all my buddies and my girlfriend aren't from my hometown, I have nothing to do but work on the truck.

    I had plans for the truck this summer but I never imagined this awesome of a transformation. The headlights will complete my summer mods I think. I want sliders but I feel bad for all the money I've dropped.

    Nice. Your truck is where a lot of my inspiration came from for mine. I want a daily driver that can also take me where most daily drivers can't. The suspension is almost to the point where I want it. As soon as I get some OME coils I'll be good for a while.

    It comes stock with a suction cup mount. I took the suction cups off and bolted a ram ball onto it and bought an arm on their website. Came out super clean.
