Well heck, I want to check that out then. Thanks josh...!

Thanks guys, it's very much appreciated.

I actually did wax it for the first time and it took me about 3 hours to wash and wax it...but I work fast. I actually use Optimum Car Wax which is a very durable spray most of the time and used regular polish/sealant this time around so it took a lot longer. Next time that'll be cut in half since I'll be using the spray wax.

Also just scored a FX4 cluster on ebay. I like the overlays but really love the layout of the FX4 cluster. It's got more miles than my truck has so I'm going to get the exact mileage from it, drive my truck to that mileage, then swap clusters so everything stays perfect with the mileage. May do white overlays on the FX4 cluster too but we'll see...probably just leave them alone.

Keep my eyes open for a black Westin bull bar too. May also have a line on a H-bar grille that I'll be having painted-to-match along with the chrome grille surround. The Westin bull bar with a few PIAA lights and paint matched H-bar grille will make the front end completely.

Completely smoked third brake light should be in any day now.

Last big thing externally will be Bushwacker flares and that'll be it pretty much.
