Okay long awaited update! Been busy with work and another project.
Picked up some Morimoto XB Fog Lights for pretty cheap last Black Friday:
They're damn impressive lights and I recommend picking a set up if possible.
Then I picked up a cheap Monster Hook and had it powder coated as it was a bit rusty:
A few weeks after getting it back, I forgot I had it in and backed into a pole, ruining the new coating.
Then some audio work was required! Got my speakers amplified with a Lightning 4-channel amp:
Love how it sounds even more so now.
Probably my best purchase yet, traded a cheap 52" light bar and $200 cash for a brand new SCT Livewire TS+ and sold the Bully Dog for $150:
Purchased some MPT tunes, made a world of a difference
Next I picked up a set of new to me kickbacks for the rear:
No more drunk mudflaps for me.
Picked myself up a cheap Truxedo Soft roll tonneau cover:
Real excited for my next few mods to unfold.
Picked up a set of used 20x12 2 piece Fuel Renegades with -44 offset, they're currently getting hydrodipped:
I haven't seen these rims up where I am at all yet, almost cried scuffing them up.
Test fit the new rims, and of course they didn't fit. So I purchased a used 6" Fabtech lift. It has full strut replacement and Bilstein 5100's all around. It needed a few minor touch-ups which were taken care of.
And it's currently getting powdercoated:
Actually picking it up within a few days.

I had a spot on my truck in front of the rear driver side wheel well that kept rusting through the plasti-dip so I finally had it taken care of.
It was a lot worse than I originally thought:
It was hit multiple times until we found all the weak points.
You can't even tell how bad it was anymore! Not too bad for a rattle can paint job either:
I decided to tackle my rockers as well while I'm between jobs, they were a lot worse as well. Cab corner decided to have a bit of rust as well:
This was my first attempt at body work, finished at 2am so it definitely needs some touch ups:
Had to reform the corner so it isn't perfect but I'm thrilled with how it turned out.
The billet grill on my truck was really pitted and needed some work, so I FINALLY managed to pick up a Harley Davidson grill and kinda fell in love:
Billet grill will be getting repainted and fixed and used for winter now.
I peeled the plasti-dip off my bumpers to redo them, so they're both currently chrome:
I'm not a huge fan of chome so it won't be staying.
That's all for now, got some more stuff in the works though so stay tuned!
She's also now at 264,500 kilometers (164,350 miles) and still going strong!
Updated maintenance done:
-New spark plugs
-New plug boots
-New serpentine belt
