I had the oval custom made from billetbadges.com, I like them I have the duplicate on my tailgate. They are EXPENSIVE, but they'll do anything custom you can dream up. I would suggest constantly pestering them if you end up getting a set, they seem to drop out of communication. They're website quotes 4-10 weeks for production... mine was closer to 16 weeks with months of silence.

As for the lightbar its a SR-20" from Rigid Industries. I have another in the lower grille opening now thats a SR2-20". I got them and the D2s (not on the truck yet) from Alaska LED Industries in Anchorage. Go to them, I swear they will hook it up and they are amazing people to deal with. I spent way too much money with them but they brought my truck in and we threw around ideas and options for 20+ minutes on two separate occasions before settling on what they were going to install. They are insanely bright, night to day. I'll grab a picture of output.

Nice. I got my Dually's from them too. They also did my interior led and the back. Great guys, I'm willing to pay extra for that kind of service.

So I need input, the shop called on Saturday and I have a cracked exhaust manifold on the passenger side. I haven't found a shop in Anchorage willing to do the work for less than $900. For that I could buy a Long Tube Header setup, but I'd have to install myself. I've seen the write-ups on how to do it, and I'm mechanically inclined but it still seems like a pain. What is everyone running?

So I've been trying my hand at photo editing. I've got some serious edits that look extremely manipulated and pretty cool but I think the real art is in keeping it mellow and just enhancing what is already a sexy ride.


Here's a soft edit of my truck. Enhanced the blacks and cleared it up a bit.



Here's a bit more if an edit, This one's my Dad's BMW Z3M.



And another of the boss' 67 Chevy



I keep slacking on the MOD list for my truck but I seem to find things that are more interesting to post. Let me know what you think, if you've got pictures of your ride that you would be cool with me playing around with let me know, like I said I just started and practice makes perfect. Let me know what ya'll think !

Dropped some money on the ride the last 2 weeks. My projects are starting to build up, I really need a garage that I can fit the truck in!
-Mounted the second SR2 20", with Hyperspot. I find excuses to turn on my Highbeams...
-295/60/20 Trail Grapplers (get here Wednesday)
-Tuff T01 20" rims (get here Wednesday)
-HBS 2.5" Level
-Carr Super Hoops XP3 Black Powder Coated
-Infinity Infinity REF-8602cfx for Front & back speakers
-Customized rocker switches for Light Bars
-3m 1080 vinyl in matching Silver to test out on my Front/Rear bumpers, possibly B-Pillars? We'll see how it turns out
-Made an appointment for Perfectionist Auto to install a custom sub enclosure under my backseat.
-Toying with either a 4" suspension lift or... Cutting down a 3" Body Lift to 1.5" or 2" to give it the perfect height.
-Removing the chrome rocker panels, I think once everything is on they'll look even more out of place. That'll be the last thing I do

Hope to get all this done in the next 2 weeks! And of course I'll post some pics. I guess I found another reason to procrastinate on posting about my existing mods!

Here's a picture of her hauling toys a couple weekends ago:

Couple pictures I took on my commute home yesterday.




I should get my rims/tires in tomorrow afternoon, then a fellow Forum Member is helping out with the level kit install on Sunday, meaning I can get rims/tires mounted and balanced on Monday. This will be the first set of aftermarket rims I've bought! Stoked!!
