Default 2017 Platinum, Magnetic SCREW

She came home a few weeks ago with 50 miles. So far, she just has a Bakflip MX4 and Barricade Grille. 1.5 Boras are on the way. 2 level perhaps in a week or so.


I used black crinkly paint on the grille to give it some depth. It was sanded and primered before the paint was applied.

Added the 1.5" BORA spacers today. MUCH cleaner now. Install took me about an hour.

Looks good! How do you like the MX4 so far? I'm leaning towards getting that, I came from just having a toolbox in my '07, and there were several times where a full cover would've been very helpful.

Thank you! Really like the MX4. We've had several heavy rains here only a few small drops coming in. If you get one and install it properly, the "auto" tailgate will still drop.

Putco Luminex fogs arrived today. Install took roughly 30 minutes. Even in the daylight you can tell they are MUCH brighter than the stock halogen. I will attempt to get some pics later on tonight.


Stock Halogens



Passenger side installed



Driver's side



Both sides installed

So here is what they look like at night. It's not really that dark out, but you get the idea. Sorry, but I forgot to take an image with the stock halogens. These photos are not enhanced.


Putcos off

Putcos on. The right one only looks like it's pointed higher because of the sidewalk

Had an RC 2" Leveling Kit installed today as well as Fox 2.0 rear shocks. The rake is gone and it appears the front end is now higher than the rear. GRRRRRR. Think I may need to get a 1" block now.

I'd advise measuring before you add the block. Might be an illusion. However, if you don't like it, it doesn't matter if it's truly level or not.
