After washing, waxing and cleaning rims and tires very well it became apparent the only thing screaming OLD on my truck was the faded rear bumper black molding so today i taped everything off and sprayed it with Dupli Color Bumper Black. Goes on like spray paint and came out awesome!

Put some KC 100W SlimLites behind the grill, using the 1 1/4" angle iron trick that I read about here.

I still need to clay polish and wax mine. All I've been doing is waxing it.

I'm looking at ARE tonneaus now. Hoping to get one here in a couple weeks.

Over the weekend, finally vacuumed and washed it then installed the new fender flares. I also replaced the old worn out FX4 bed stickers with black outline ones...yes, I like my FX4 stickers. I'm finally getting around to prepping and painting my diff guard and will install it by next weekend. Oh and today I ordered my exhaust parts from Performance Peddler (the retrofit HIDs will have to wait a little longer). Pics will be taken soon...
