My headlights from Spec-D Tuning and my grille finally came in, and I'm extremely impressed with both. When I wired up my headlights, I wired the halos/angel eyes so that they turn on when my key is on. I really like how these headlights and grille gave my truck a really updated look. Here's the pictures:










Also, while I was installing the headlights and grille, my dad was finishing up cutting and buffing the truck. The paint came out like glass.



I still have plenty of plans for this truck..Next thing on the to-do list is rhino liner. I have the kit, I just haven't gotten around to spraying it yet. It will eventually have 6 inches of lift and 37's, among many other things. Let me know what you think so far, and I'll keep you updated.

I got my reverse gauges installed, I think they look pretty good. I also got my new head unit in. Stock speakers for now, but i'm planning on having at least 2 10's under the back seat.

I wasn't a big fan of them at first, but they grew on me. There's not too many ways to make the front ends of these trucks look newer/updated, so I said what the hell and tried them out.
