Default The next 3 weeks will be fun....

Truck is finally slated to arrive between Thursday & Saturday this week, after being ordered about 6 weeks ago. After trading in my 2013 Kodiak Brown a couple years ago, I've been yearning for a new one. So after selling my last vehicle, I'm BEYOND READY.

XLT Sport in Lithium Gray, 3.5 EcoBoost 2WD, 3.55 locking, with 302A, spray-in bed liner, OEM fender liners, bed divider, panoramic roof.

Day 1 of ownership calls for Crown 3/5" drop kit & Hellwig sway bar install.
Day 2 of ownership calls for ceramic window & windshield tint. Debadging.
Day 3 & 4 of ownership calls for full front end SunTek PPF install. Along with headlight smoke, graphic design on roof, and other small touches.
Day 5 of ownership calls for entire exterior LED lighting install.
Day 6 of ownership calls for interior cupholder/shifter LED install, shorty antenna, emblem overlays, & bed cover install.
Day 7 of ownership calls for powdercoat of wheels (NOT black, lol).
Day 8 of ownership calls for TredWear letters installation.
Day 9 & 10 calls for stereo system upgrades.

After that, she'll receive full new car detailing/protection, decontamination, paint correction, and an application of Gtechniq Crystal Serum applied by my shop. And a few weeks later after the suspension has "settled" wheel spacers may be on the agenda. Not too much later, intake/exhaust will be fabbed up by a local fabricator. And engine cover will be painted by local custom painter.

My taste in mods is vastly different from the "usual" I see on the forum. I'm sure I'll get my share of "unique criticism" when it's all said & done. I don't have too much on the agenda, but getting all the above done rather quickly will be very important.

Been lurking for awhile since my last truck left my possession, anxious to actually "participate" on the forum again. Hoping to have this girl sittin' sexy before July 4th weekend.

That truck is going to look awesome when he is done !

His shop is also going to put the clear bra, tinted windows and sealant on my truck in the next few weeks. He is THE guy for the top detailing around the Birmingham area.

That sounds like one hell of a start!
Couple questions -

Do you thin the PPF is worth $400 (what the shop quoted me). And I think that was for the most basic front end coverage.

And, do you think the windshield tint is worth $150? Have SunTek carbon on all other windows and very happy with it.
