some updates...

Got my hands on some Band new Harley Davidson Headlights...
They are super rare on our trucks - and cost lots of $$$ but... its another step of being that much more different from the crowd.
Thus was worth the money.


Other side...
The light output imo is waaaaaaay better then the lightning headlights I had. The light output is alot more uniform and focused on a wider section unlike the L headlights which were more focused. Its hard to explain but the viewing outut is far better now.


Also I PTM the piece on the lower bumper and extended the stripe to match... looks hella better. Its not something thats done alot on chrome bumpers - which is whyi decided to do it. Seems to bring the theme more and break up the chrome - which i am keeping.


New deck... bye bye single din mp3 deck and hello to the Avic-700; GPS Navigation, Bluetooth, USB/SD card compatible... i have over 500+ movies on file that now wih a plugin of a drive i have at my fingertips... its not a dvd deck - but i have o need for dvds... USB drive located in the glovebox.


Was a custom installation - been done before obviously but isnt just a plug and play insert and your done kind of job.. trimming etc was needed to make it fit.


Added touch onto the dash...


If anyone hasn't noticed before in my pics... here is a sneak look at my custom stage 2 truck alarm... lmao batter-up?

Haha, Raptor really likes the before and after pics. How is your exhaust set up? Does it have a Y pipe or is it straight back from the headers?? Also, Where did you find your lower valence? I apologize if you gave the link and I missed it, I just sat here and read this whole post. haha. But I was wondering if they had some w/out the fog lamps because I have them built into my bumper and don't need 4... lol. And personally, I like my styleside short bed as far as looks but I just had to haul some plywood the other day and I said to myself, "A long bed shore would be nice right now." lol Regardless this is a great truck man, and Congrats on the baby.

exhaust is a custom bent 2.25 setup with magnaflw si/do muffler straight out the back... it sounds nice, amazing rumble, and is deep and throaty (unlike vid as muffler was just pout on)... however i am debating simply dumping the exhaust. High flow cats are going to be installed soon as well - coming soon lol

lower valance i bought from a local shop - unsure if they offer a non fog lighted version- and imo if they did it wouldn't be worth the money - those valences are expensive for what they.
