Definately a clean truck, good job so far!

I would suggest stripping off the side door moldings and doing something with the front bumper...either putting a customer bumper/valance or PTM the black plastic parts

Would make a nice street truck if you decided to go that route. I like the progress threads too, been meaning to make one of my own but haven't spent the time

the 08 emblems are installed almost done removing the pinstriping and the predator programmer is updated and in use. One of the best mods so far I love the programmer such a nite and day difference. I will post pics of the new emblems tomorrow. Oh and the spring tech 6.5" lift arrived a couple of days ago i have gotten so much accomplished this summer but wife says I need to wait till spring for the 35's so i am going to wait to install and start striping and painting the under carrige and save up for bilstines and make the brackets for my home made dual steering stablizer. deff going to ptm the mirror caps and thinking about the door moldings. also thinking about a billet inset for the bumper.

Is that a double-din size?

Love the wheels and stance of your truck. Do you have a leveling kit on it?

Aftermarket-yes it is a double din there was alot of cutting required but I thought it fit nicley I also bypassed the parking break safety with a 5 pole relay so my daughter can watch from her car seat while I drive.

Alex-nope that's totally stock no suspensions mods till I install the lift this spring.
