Thanks! Those are some of my favorites for sure.

Honestly, I have no idea how it rides compared to stock. I got it already level with that turd kit. So compared to that setup, I think it rides better. The adjustable firmness shocks are a nice option and can definitely tell a difference between settings. However, the tires make it ride a bit rough, which is to be expected I think....especially since mine never balance worth a either

Contemplating getting rid of my UWS low profile toolbox and getting a bed cover. Leaning toward the Bakflip F1. Anyone else been through this swap? Or any regrets with having a folding cover? Also considered the Bakbox but after a lot of reviews and thoughts on my use, it seems like an expensive aggravation point.

Well, I sold my toolbox today. I posted it on craigslist and had a text 17 minutes later wanting it haha. Will be ordering the Bakflip F1 probably tomorrow or early next week.

Almost forgot....to catch up to where I am in this build, I sold my Nfab bar and PIAAs a couple months ago. I purchased a 20" Rigid E2 combo bar and the bumper mount. LOVE this setup and think it looks cleaner and has better output.



Current projects in the works:
  • Removed badges to verify they're 2 piece ones. They are. Will PTM the inner letters and black the outline.
  • Purchased Morimoto Mini H1 projectors with 5500K bulbs. Will be painting headlight buckets and shrounds satin black.
  • Purchased Morimoto xB foglights to match the retrofit.
  • Will order Bakflip F1 cover.

Have been getting some work done today!

Swapped out the stock fogs for the Morimoto xB fogs. Looks way better off and on.
In progress:



Comparison of the housings:



On!:


The cutoff on these is awesome. Standing in front of the truck to verify aim, and I couldn't notice any glare above the cutoff line.

Thanks! It's been pretty interesting actually going back and documenting the changes it's been through.

Finished up with my PTM badges. They used to be plastidipped but from more than a few feet away, they just look like black blobs. I bought some Duplicolor Perfect Match. Didn't have a whole lot of trouble getting the badges apart, but it did take some fighting and patience. Worth it though.

Here's the final product:





Matches the rear emblem overlay great:



I like the way it turned out better than how they were.
