Update Pics while on vacation

Well I was able to enjoy my truck for the few weeks while I was on vacation from being overseas. I have had my FX4 for 8m and finally cracked 1000miles on it.
I was able to add a few things to her during my time home:

Catch all mats
Billet Pedals
FX4 Emblems on the ashtray and tailgate
HD Grille
Kenwood DDX 7017 HU
Kenwood ipod adapter
Alpine Type R Speakers front and rear
Alpine 4 channel amp
Mark LT Handles
Removed Step Bars

I have Nu Image SS gauges and a AS 1.5" spacer waiting to get put in when I get back this summer. I just ran out of time.

Of course I got it all cleaned up and detailed so when I get back she will be ready to roll. It still even has that new truck smell

More MODS to follow of course when I get back. There are so many nice looking trucks on this site but I figured I would throw some pics of the baby in the mix. She is a work in progress,enjoy.

Can I comment on your truck since you got the same color and mods as me? First off, it looks good obviously. IMO though, I think you should have left the chrome step bars on it. The side view looks too plain without them and they would also help tie in the chrome handles, exhaust tips, and grille. One reason I didn't switch to LT handles because I got no chrome on my truck. I have a HD grille sitting at home, but after seeing how yours look, I probably won't install it, since I don't have any other chrome on my truck. I'll save it for my next truck.

Sorry my friend it was sacrificed to the Dremal God. When I was swapping grilles. Rather then break tabs trying to swap like allot of people do I chose to use a Dremal and no tabs were harmed during the process,sorry.

Yeah dude I miss the Lightning allot. I still have a little shrine in the den and a couple posters in the garage. I took one for the team and I will let the "new wife" know of my sacrifice for sometime trading that in for a "family" ride,hence putting a little attention into the FX4 (daily driver) to help the healing process.

Comment duely noted. I was thinking a bit of the same when I got the LT handles on. With the steps off it did not seem to have that overall pop with the chrome accents. I still have them all cleaned up put away and may eventually put them on. I want to wait until after I get back and throw some chrome 20s with some BFG ATs on there to see if that will balance it back out.
BTW nice ride I used yours for referance on some things last summer when I got mine
