I'm pretty sure the Blue Oval on the front is all one piece.

Ok, thanks. I'll have to look into it more. I thought the oval was stuck onto the back piece that clips onto the grille. I would really like a black oval on the front so I'll keep lookin

Will do, thanks.

Just a heads up to anyone else that has the issue I was having with the hum from the factory sub/amp...the ground loop isolator did the trick to get rid of the noise.

Where did you get your grille from? Nice truck. I got lucky buying an fx4 with carbon fiber radio bezzels. That might be better than plasti dip..or even a roll of carbon fiber wrap.

Put some Plastidip clean on the bezel, came out great.



Got the radio all set up and installed, ran the iPod cable under the shifter and into the center console, so now I've gotta fab a mount for the iPod.





Tomorrow I'm gonna work on the CB in the spot where the ash tray was, wheels and tires, fender flares, and HIDs will hopefully be here by the weekend.

Finished the lights up today. I wired the spot lights up to the battery so the switch does have constant power but I think I'm gonna change that up to the parking lights. When I get my CB mount done I'll get pics of the switch
