I am interested to see what you come up with.

I was thinking about just trading out my tailgate for another then adding the "PLATINUM" logo on it. It would be nice to add the step assist since I do not have one. Also would like to trade out the door handles to black and the review mirrors to all black as well. Haven't quite decided what to do with the front grill or the chrome trim on the side of the truck?

You will most certainly want to regear, which will be pricey. 3.73's at least if not 4.10's.

Everything on my truck is being blacked out other than the grill and tailgate. My headlights also have a chrome shroud in them still so the grill will match it really well. I also plan on building my tail lights and will incorporate some silver in it to match the tailgate.
