Thanks!! I really like the look of the tinted tail lights compared to the LED lights on it before. I'm kind of worried what they're going to look like at night, but I guess I'll find out once it gets dark. Then, next weekend come the BFG Mud Terrain KM2 35/12.5/18

Well, it's been about 7 months since I've updated this thread. Had a few things done to it since the last time I updated it. When I got the tires put on the tuck, they put the stupid wheel weights (all 100 of them) on the rim, so I had to take it back and they put the sticky weights on the inside of the rim. I also took off the running boards to make it appear as if it were sitting up higher.

UPGRADE #9 - BFG KM2 35X12.5X18

The next thing I wanted to do was upgrade the interior of the truck, specifically the audio.

UPGRADE #10 - INFINITY KAPPA 6X8 COMPONENTS (FRONT DOORS)






UPGRADE #11 - INFINITY KAPPA 6X8 2-WAY (REAR DOORS)

Then next thing I did which was a couple days after the speakers were installed, was install my head unit. I have only installed one head unit and that was back in high school (00-04) and it was just a single din. A lot has changed since I did the last install, but I ordered the Metra Wiring Harness and Metra Dash Kit, and got it all hooked up on the first try. Everything went smooth and this thing is incredible. MAJOR UPGRADE. I also did the bypass on this so I can watch DVD without having to be in park.

UPGRADE #12 - KENWOOD DNX6190HD NAV/BLUETOOTH/HD RADIO/MP3/USB/CD/DVD/PANDORA/AHA RADIO

Next thing I did was order some LEDs from China off Ebay. I was able to get 2 map lights, 1 dome festoon light, 2 cargo lights, and 2 tag lights for $5. They aren't the brightest or best looking, but definitely an upgrade from the stock halogens.

UPGRADE #13 - INTERIOR LEDS






I also got some WeatherTech Floorliners for my truck. Picture isn't very clear, but I can't imagine a better floorliner.

UPGRADE #14 - WEATHER TECH FLOOR LINERS

And this is how she sits today (1/4/2013). Still got a lot of things I plan on doing to this truck. It's funny how I looked back at the very beginning of this thread and I said I stumbled across this forum trying to figure out a way to fix my dented hood and cracked grill. The grill and hood still hasn't been fixed, and thanks to this forum I have added 14 upgrades when I originally wasn't planning on doing anything but trying to fix the hood and grill. This forum is a disease!!!!
