After 2 weeks of work these lights are FINALLY done. Q45 projectors, ballasts and bulbs from TRS and LED rings from Diode dynamics. Output is better than stock and since it has the cutoff I'm not blinding the people I'm behind. I also decided to keep them chrome since white headlights kinda seem like too much on a white truck

So i've been pretty busy with all the mods to the truck getting it ready for alot of shows that I entered this year but its finally starting to slow down so I thought I'd share the progress. First up was the interior. I had the seat centers redone with black leather and then hand stitched all the stitching in red. I added a NOS leather steering wheel and had it painted along with the speaker pods I made and the center console.

Then I added a magnaflo catback exhaust and ran the tips out the sides. I also added 2in blocks to the rear and spacers to the front on top of the 6in lift

But wait... my bumper was black and now in that last pic its white? Had a fun day trying to get a 12th gen bumper to fit on my 11th gen but it was well worth it.

Looks like the bumper follows the lines pretty good except for the very front. Nice job on the door speakers and interior.

Hate hate hate long boxes. But I love yours. Good job on the roll bar and the wrap giving it the illusion short box.

I'm so glad you painted the front bumper white it looks some much cleaner. The only thing that sticks out are the headlights and tail lights being chrome when there isn't any chrome on the truck.

thanks for all the great comments! I also really dislike the long bed and every show truck you see has the extended cab and short bed because it does look better. BUT I had to work with what I had and am really loving it. The headlights and tails I thought just looked cleaner being chrome. I still may get them lightly tinted, we'll see.
