Default Build progress of our trucks

Idk if there's a thread like this already, but lets see some before and after or build progress pictures of our trucks.
Here's my 96 f150 2wd stock everything:

Here she is now with a 3" body 8" suspension on the back 9" suspension in the front, so 12" in the front and 11" in the back with a SAS still on 37s for now:

working on my truck has been the most fun I've had for awhile. when I got it a month ago it leaked coolant, power steering fluid, and oil, the blower fan didn't work, the radio would cut out, and the lights on the visor were missing or didn't work.

now its gets hotter then I can stand in the cab, it has a kenwood cd player with a usb port hidden where the cigarette lighter used to be, the visor lights all work and the corners blink with the turn signals, the front end doesn't clunk around turns, the tires all match, and my roommates 06 duramax drips more fluids then my 93. and it has hidden lights behind the grill that fill in where there stock lights miss.

all it takes is tlc and these old rigs can be amazing!

I don't have nearly as much progress to show lol the only thing I've done in a looooong time (visually speaking) is the grille.

How'd you do the hidden USB port? Sounds awesome!

Dang that's a gorgeous truck! Where'd you get the smoked headlights? I've looked everywhere and can't find em.

Smoked lights, custom painted grille in the first part, then the Stock, new rims/tires, level, and "new" rims. I've left the outside mostly alone, I dig the clean look
