Few new mods! Pics!!!!

Well it's been a while since I've posted new pics so I figured with this nice day we're having I would go snap a few (I'm terrible with cameras) If anyone would like to play around on photoshop with em feel free!

Anyway, first mod was to mount my PIAA's behind my grill. I upgraded to the XLT grill for this purpose. Since I had the lights, all I had to buy was the material, which in total cost me around $19
(The grill desperately needs to be repainted)





Next mod I painted the runner boards inside with some rattle can truck bedliner. I did 5 coats and it's holding up OK, If i were to do it again I would do a couple more.



Also added XLT mirrors and removed my 4x4 stickers from the bed







Let me know what ya'll think

Looks like you had a busy day. Looks good! I don't really have room to talk, but we both need to paint our foglights.

Paint for sure. It won't look right if they are tinted.

I always liked the look of fogs behind the grill, good job. I like the stance of your truck too! what's the setup?

Thanks guys!

You can notice the grill pattern if you are parked close to a wall or something with the lights on, but when driving you can't even tell it's there.

The set up i'm running right now is a 2.5 level kit with 285/70/17s. Sooner or later I'm hoping to move up to a bigger tire with bilsteins and a 3" rear block

Looks great. What did you use to mount the lights behind the grill? I will be doing this in a couple months, and was thinking about just going to Lowe's and seeing what I could find. How did you secure the brackets behind the grill? Again nice truck.

The cross bar is mounted to bolts that hold the head light housing in, then secured to the center post with a bolt. the lower brackets are bolted to the bumper, there are 2 bolts that I used. I'll try to take some better pictures in the morning.
