Also Replaced all the door speakers with Focal speakers and 4 tweeters. Running a 700w JL amp powering a W6 centerconsole custom box.... IT SOUNDS AMAZING!!!

and Replaced all interior lights with White LED and All exterior with LED and HIDs

I ordered all the Panels from Fiberwerx and was a hassel from the beginning. The lady that took my order sent me all the wrong pieces. Sent a trophy truck 6.5 panel(which im selling for 300) and missing fueal door, wrong flares.... took over 3 weeks to finally get my money refunded and straightened out. So I order the bed panels from Mcneil racing and I need to pic them up tomorrow since theyve been waiting at the dock for 2 weeks and no one called me. just a really annoying situation.

3 weeks before spring Break (Vegas and Port Aransas Beach) Im driving home and a deer jumps in front of me and I swerve to miss him and hit loose gravel. I hit my next door neighbors fence and wipe out his mailbox and gate.. I decide to pull into my driveway and didnt realize my tow hook was attaced to the fence still and tore out 150 ft of fence in one little pull... my truck had 3600 in damages.... and I was pissed

Prior to this Ive had my 10" lift on order for 2 months. I finally got it in the day before i went to vegas and the coilover bolts didnt match some other nuts....needless to say I settled for the 9" Stage 3 Dirt logic Suspension. I got the raptor control arms, and all necessary components for the front swap dirt cheap from a local shop replacing a raptors suspension.
