Just got the title to my truck in the mail today so it's official, I have proof of ownership of the truck!

Now that I don't have payments I'm getting a mod itch. I painted the edges on my tail lights but the paint ran about 3 days after doing it and looks like crap now. I've been holding off because it took forever to do and I don't have any better paint at this point. I'm wondering what people are doing for custom tail lights and leds in the blinkers? I have led reverse lights and had switchback blinkers in my old super duty so I'm familiar with the resisters needed in the circuit. I'd really like to take the tail lights apart and paint them but I fear I would mess them up if I did that. Anyone know of any sweet looking tail lights out there that are reasonably priced?

After 2 AFE exhaust tips rusting and having the coating fall off I ordered this RBP tip with a red insert. I thought it compliments the red accents well without being too crazy. One picture with flash and the other without to show the cut out.

Also found some vinyl wrap that's almost an exact match to my truck. Mirrors are first. I'll leave the bars black to help break it up. Next up might be the b pillars.

Here's the link to the vinyl. They have gloss black as well that I might need to play with.

I also bought this. Which worked great to get the bubbles out. The knife is super sharp with a really small tip to get into tight places. Having never done this before it only took about fifteen minutes a side.

Just put the vinyl on the bottom of the mirror. It's not perfect but definitely ties it all together.



Also took the can am out yesterday for a little riding.

A pillars are done. Everything tucked away nicely so there's no edges showing. Before and after shot.

Nitto ridge grapplers go on Wednesday. Decided to go with 35x11.5r20 this time around. I wanted the big tire look but not have to trim a bunch. Definitely not going to be as wide as the trail grappler but I'll enjoy the quietness and hopefully better ride.
