I was thinking of using tarp/pleather type material and just make a roll-up cover, I will have to do some serious planning and measuring etc. I know it wont look professional but I believe I have sufficient skills to get it done right as long as I can find a guide or something of the sort. This will be an addition further down the road!
And as far as the grille goes, I will be going out to Napa/Autozone/Advanced/Walmart to see what sort of products they have to clean these plastics up, perhaps I will even get a headlight restoration set to deal with my yellow headlights, might as well as I have to replace a burnt out turnsignal.
I am confident my mod list will decrease a bit after I wash the hell out of the truck. I will be taking all 4 wheels off and giving them a good scrub inside in out. I am hoping these wheels will be beautiful when clean and I will not feel the need to replace them.
Thanks guys for the advice, you are helping me get my head around my truck heh.

Washed, but not as well as I would have liked to. I didn't get to take the wheels off either, but I will next time I wash it. Still looks terrible, I will need to get a buffer and wax to hopefully save the paint.
I wish I could keep it wet all the time, just looks so much nicer this way!
Looks good on the shady side haha.
Will be painting my grille soon, used a plastic/trim re-newer, it still looks like dog****.
Attempted to de-yellow the headlights...did alright I suppose.

Don't use spray paint. Use gel gloss. It's a porcalin cleaner you can get from the hardware store. It will clean up the wet sanding even more and has a wax in it. I'm surprised this stuff isn't used even more for how well it works

I never have either until I was showing off my nice clean headligts to a friend that I wet sanded, rubbing compound and car polish and he put a dab of this stuff on a rag and wiped it on a headlight and made the other one look yellow.
