Thank you!

The front FX4 lights were actually on it when I bought it. I didn't realize at first that it had those until I was parked next to an identical truck and noticed my headlights were darker tinted. (as you can see in most of my pictures the backs were chrome and the fronts were dark). Once I realized that they were different it started bugging me and Amazon has the OEM FX4 rears for $125, so I got those. The front's can be found on Amazon or eBay for about $250.

  • Nilight flood lights tied to reverse
  • Nilight spotlight around the license plate (not legal for street use)
  • LED replacement interior lights
  • LED bed lights for under the rails
  • Plastidip on the bumpers/grill.
There is a thread titled best modifications for under $50, or something similar to that. Its a huge thread, but you can get some great ideas on it if you have the time.

Below is my picture of the bumper/grilled with plastidip as you were mentioning that specifically. 4-5 layers have held up great since spring with only a few minor chips from bugs/rocks that I will patch once its warm again. Took me maybe 8 cans to do both bumpers and the grill. I did not gloss mine when I was done, but I think it looks better if you do.
Thanks for sharing, I really like the dip over chrome. I'm glad to hear its held up well
