Default My build (already built) thread!

So for a long time I always posted in the 09-14 section and then after years of using the forum stumbled upon this section and I really like it a lot more. It’s interesting, there are lots of great ideas, beautifully built trucks, and a lot of feedback. So even though my truck is years in the making already I’d still like to share it. I’ve put a lot of hard work, time, and effort into this build. So the basics of the truck is it was purchased as a stock ignot silver supercab with a 6.5’ box and 5.0l engine. As always I was going to go slow and just do minor upgrades here and there. I wanted to ultimately get to a mean aggressive looking daily driver. I’ll post a picture stock and then as it sits now then go through the build process with what I’ve done.

The day I bought it


The way it sits today

WOW, What a change...Not many folks would recognize that as the same truck. Nicely done!

I then tried for the first time to vinyl wrap my bumpers. Came out really good and lasted a couple years even through the winters and it held up great. Wasn’t that hard and cost all of $25 for the vinyl
