next thing was just something small. I bought & installed two bike mounts on my tool box in the back of the bed. It worked out perfectly and the bikes just fit with enough room to close the tail gate.

After that i got a Smitty-built Light bar for the front of my truck with 4x Hella Off Road Lights. I cant remeber the wattage of them. I want to say 55Watts but I'm not 100%. All i know is they are bright as 
. I have the outter two aimed at the ditches while in the inside to are aimed straight ahead.
I went with a Smittybuilt rather than a bull bar because this way i still have my tow hooks. The bar just mounts in the opening in the lower bumper. Cant find the pictures I have of the bar itself but here is the finished picture of what it looked like after it was all said and done.
First picture is with the white covers on & the second is without them on. I cant remember why my friend & i left the doors open, i think we hoped out cause we seen some animal or something then i took a picture on the way walking back to the truck lol

Heres a better close up on the off road lights. New window Vent Visors & also two new decals on the rear window. Representing my Boston Celtiics & Yamaha. I ride a yamaha Raptor 700 and love it.
The thing you see taped up on my toolbox is hard styrafoam with duck tape wrapped around it. I kept denting my toolbox from riding the quad in to fast so i put that on the first few weeks i got it. That box is strong as hell. Im a pro at putting it in so no longer have that on there. Better the tool box than my back window though

Next was a Saleen Grille. I took out the chrome surround piece from the old one and plasti dipped it black to match the new Saleen Grille.
Pictures below are of the grille, the chrome surround before plasti-dipped, and after plasti-dipped...and then once installed. Also bought & added black license plate covers to the front & back.
If your unsure what plasti-dip is you can look it up on the forum, there are tons of guys that have used it. It works wonders and if you dont like it you can always peel it off. Plasti-Dip is as easy to use as the VHT nightshades, actually easier because you just clean off whatever your dipping then spray away, no sanding needed.
