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!

Removed the orange reflectors from the 2009 style mirrors and painted them black.

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

Took the overhead light bar off. Was getting tired of the flimsy POS.

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...
