Not so much the HID blue lights, but lights none the less. Also, the badge and light blackouts and some suspension work. I went the other way though. All your work is clean and admirable. Keep up the awesome work and keep posting pictures.
Do you have a Cardomain? You should make one because you could do really good with that. People love trucks and their stories with pictures.
Also, I wanted to ask how your taillights do during the day being blacked out that much. Mine have a pattern painted over them (we call it a carbon fiber mock up) but they aren't as dark as yours.


Props brother! I'm sure you've inspired many of jobs and DIY projects. You show how to do it the right way. You're pretty damn good with a wrench and that's a great skill to have.


Here are some pics of what I've done...
T-Man, sick ride, the lights are efin cool. I'm bone stock, but glad as I'm picking up so many ideas that I would have missed if I started doing mods on my own out of the gate.

FX44 Thanks man! You can do anything you set your mind to. My dad looked at me sideways when I came up with the idea to spread kitchen drawer liner (yes the little rubber stuff with holes in it) over my lights and shoot the light through it. Now we got it on everything we've touched!

Oh and I got the idea for the behind the grille lights on a forum just like this. Stuff like these mods are really easy to do and when you are done you feel really proud of them. Thanks for the complement and post some pictures when you get some of your mods done!

Thanks to Tuna for having an awesome thread to begin with!

Thanks. After all my excuses on why I don't want to lift it....I might be breaking down. Sure, loading it will be an even bigger pain, but I figure there are ways around it, like a ramp or something. Still on the fence, but I might fall off and land on the 6" lift side...

I'm for it. You'd truly be MASSIVE then. But like you said... hard to load bait barrels and all that stuff. It sure would look awesome and be worth it though.

I made a deal with myself. If I can do it off the money from the rod racks I will...and maybe another job I do in the spring of sanding/bottom painting/waxing/powerwashing boats around here before they launch for the season. I don't want to touch my main source of income since the fishing season is about to really start and you never know what can go on the boat. Engine could set me back big time in one fell sweep.

I've been looking at RCX, Zone, and Fabtech. I really like the Fabtech, but with the Bilsteins on all 4 corners I would order, that puts me around $2200ish then I'll need at least 35" tires.
