I finally decided on that I don't like the look of generic light bar in the lower grill. I doesn't fit in the truck - looks cheap and not in place. So I replaced it with Rigid Duallies Midnight:

I love the looks of that grill. How hard was it to change? Can I get pictures of the rear entertainment system?

It took couple of hours to change the grill, but not too hard if you follow the instructions. I spend half of the time figuring out the wiring and actually wiring it.

Not the best photos of the rear screens...

Nice that looks pretty good. Going to save up for a while and would love to do the same thing.

Off eBay from the seller Galaxy Moto. There are two popular options - from Galaxy or Paramount. There are several good threads on the forum about grills swap for 2015+.

swapped the factory 20 inch OEM rims for black KMC Slides. Went with +11 offset for a bit more aggressive stance and MPG dropped 10%

Nice truck! Did you have the grill painted black by a body shop or at home?

Thanks. The grill came in gloss black from the seller - no custom painting. Looks great, but harder to maintain the look than flat black.
