Default My new Platinum Build to Date....

Well, since I got my new Platinum a couple of weeks ago, I decided to move ahead on some mods. So far, I have installed -

• K40 Calibre Remote Radar System with Laser Diffuser
• Ford OE Rubber All-Weather Floor Mats
• Linex Spray-on Bedliner
• Matching Front Tint
• BDS 2.5-inch lift (front/rear)
• Nitto Trail Grappler MTs 295/60R20 (34-inches tall)
• Moto Metal 961 Wheels (+18mm Offset, 5.71" BS)
• Magnaflow Stainless Steel Dual-Exit Exhaust System
• Smittybilt Light Bar
• PIAA 540 Ion Plasma Driving Lights
• PIAA 520 ATP Off Road Lights

Took some more quick pics so thought I would share how it's turning out:

One of the cleanest looking platinums ive seen. You should PTM the surround on the grille and it will pull everything together

Thanks brian....yeah, I am actually toying with that idea. I kind of like it the way it is but may consider it still down the road.

You don't even have permanent plates yet and you've already got that thing touching the clouds. Nice.

If it were my truck I'd PTM everything that's chrome and ditch the plastic crap on the tailgate, but it isn't. I'm just not a Platinum guy, at least on the outside. I'd take one just for the interior though! It is easily the best looking Plat I've seen on here. You really know how to dress up a truck, Every one I've seen you do has been very well done. Another great build. Keep up the good work and magazine style pictures. Haha!
