I have an idea that I'm not sure of yet... Paint the 3 grill bars white, paint the inner "bars" caribou, paint the chrome on the emblem caribou, and paint the blue on the emblem oxford white. Any thoughts?

Do it!

It's risen high on the list of things to be done soon. I'm no longer buying a house, because I don't plan on staying down here, it's a buyer's market with literally hundreds of houses on the market, and with the mortgage rates I'm getting I can't rent it and do more than break even.

That said, one of my coworkers moved to Dallas a couple weeks ago and just messaged me asking if I'd be interested in moving. So I'm waiting to hear details on the job now.

I'm kicking around the idea of leveling the truck and putting 20x10 chrome hostile gauntlet wheels with 33x12.5 ridge grapplers, or potentially going up to a 7" lift... I wanna do something major to the truck. Haha. Really leaning towards the level with Halo Lifts struts. I can always throw a lift on top of that at a later time.

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered some Rancho Quicklift struts. Still waiting to hear if I'm staying or moving before doing wheels/tires in case I have to buy some appliances. Never realized a lot of rent houses don't include all necessary appliances. Some down here don't even include a stove...

if you buy in dallas, plan on making an offer over list price lol. Hope everything works out for you. Id go big right off the bat honestly, because you know youre going to want a bigger lift down the road lol

If I move to Dallas I'll just be renting. Lol. I'm not moving unless they're offering $10,000+ over my current salary.

I'm gonna wait until my rear shocks wear out since they're still brand new and not cheap since I went with Boss. So I should have my Rancho Quicklifts here and installed around the first to second week of April, depending on if I end up moving or not. Once I lift though, I'll probably go with the 6". It's around $700 more to go with a 7", so I don't think it's worth it at this time.

Wheels/tires are also on hold until I find out if I'm moving to Dallas or not. Don't wanna throw down $2700 then have to pay moving expenses and be stuck without some appliances. Lol. If I stay here I found a 1400 sqft house for $1300/month with all appliances that I'm planning to go to.

Well, Stage 3's website now shows that they are out of stock until the week of April 17th... Waiting for my email stating their shipment was short and asking if I'd rather switch to Fox or BOSS to cut the wait time... I'm impatient and will likely jump on a set of BOSS coilovers if that comes up. Hopefully my struts came in and will be shipped out today.

yep the white on the grill would be sweet

The plan is to do that paint while I've got everything disassembled to do the emblems since I have to remove the grill to do the emblems anyway.

I hate my 3 bar grill. I wanna get an XLT Sport grill and PTM it.
