Maybe it's just me but I don't see why everyone is so amazed at this, he stuck on some platinum trim, so the outside looks similar to a platinum, but interior is far inferior to a platinum so I don't get why everyone is so excited about a few part changes.

I don't think it's so much they are going crazy that he just made the XLT look like a platinum but more so just watching him go throw it and sharing his work along the way and maybe that he was the time just to do something cool and it did come out looking good.

Why do most people share pics when they throw on a 2" ,leveling kit? Theres hundreds of threads on syock trucks with these? Its just to share their progress and ideas.
