That swing case is pretty sharp! Where did you source it from?

Yea I love it and it take up almost no room in the bed of the truck. I got it from Amazon.com, here is the link

Amazon Amazon

If you look around you might be able to find them a little bit cheaper

You just need to cut away some of the factory bed liner and the screws it comes with are self drilling.
I got two of those on my truck and man are they awesome I just ordered a Bakflip f1 tonneau cover to finish off the back as well.
To the OP I noticed you said your not sure about two tone well here's my truck it was originally brown trim but I had a friend of a friend paint it for me in his booth and the bumpers are Bedlined

Exhaust was the first mod i did...was a must the day after i bought it . Ive thought about painting the upper bumper white...but the lady likes it black and im not sure about the textured look...

Mines 2wd as well so if your looking at exterior things I don't mind you looking at my truck since we're similar. As for the truck boxes the swing cases they are legit, waterproof like that guy said they fit under tonneaus. Heres a site that has them really cheap swingcasedirect.com
And as for the two tone I love the "stormtrooper" look as we call it. I'm planning on tinting my front windows next and adding a strip along the top of the windshield. Lot of things you can do! Making a Los of mods you want to do is awesome as well whether it's creative or if it's replacing stock shocks with offroad shocks to handle any surface like a raptor haha

Keep it black and get some black fenders and/or paint your rockers and back bumper black! It will look sick
