Thanks! So far I like the grabbers. They have an aggressive appearance and sidewall but are not that noisy to me at all. Definitely not like a reall aggressive mud tire. I'm happy with them.
Like the truck MMcElvy, it has a good consistent look throughout. I dig the hood!

I needed to address the rear of my truck a bit so today I installed a new set of 2010 FX2 tailights with the Sterling Gray trim rather than the chrome. I was really indecisive on tailights at first. I was between the Recon smoked LEDs and the OEM Raptor smoked tailights. After purchasing the Recon third brake light I felt I was no longer interested in their tailights. It also didn't seem like the OEM smoked Raptor lights really fit with my theme too much. After looking a bit I noticed these. They match the OEM HID headlights, the color of my truck, look subtly aggressive and clean while allowing me to remove most of the chrome while keeping just a little bit of it. I think they work perfectly.
I'm just about done with the exterior of the truck. My next project is installing rectangular 2015 fog light bezels with the Baja Designs fogs into my 2014 bumper so I can retain the 2012 FX2 lower valance and mesh grill that compliment the front end. I already hsve the donor 2015 bumper. This project seems like it will be a bit more extensive.

Added a bit more. A Team RXP Dual Heat Exchanged Catch Can.
Next, I'd like to help with fuel economy/power a bit. I'm between a downpipe or an intercooler. Eventually I'll do both. Which one would have the most effect first if installed by itself?

I have a Mishimoto inter cooler on the way. In fact it’s out for delivery today! I’ll be posting install photos in my build thread this weekend and I’ll give you an update on it as soon as I put some miles on it.
