Paint matched my mirror caps for my new (to me) towing mirrors. Need to be wet sanded once they cure and re-cleared though cause crap got in the paint.

Nice! Glad your adding them lifted. Looks perfectly fitting. I hate tow mirrors on leveled/stock height trucks, even more on 2wd stock height. Tow mirrors look great on lifts.

Wow I missed this Kent!

Looks great!! Get ready to start taking tar specs and every single other thing that gets thrown up off the road and onto your paint off. I would seriously consider getting some fender flares.

Absolutely. These things look so stupid on trucks that aren't lifted Big ole Dumbo elephant ears haha.

Thanks, Chris!

I haven't had that yet, but I'm sure I will! So far it just goes from clean to dirty in half an hour driving during/after a rain. Factory flares are as much as I'd add cause I really don't like how big bushwacker types look. I bought wheels like this purely for the poke haha.

Finally got my new towing mirrors with PTM caps and PTM headlights on. Also went "mudding" . . . at a flea market haha.

Both headlights and the mirrors



Close up on the headlights. Added the Texas touch.



Second dirtiest it's ever been

I have so many things I want . . .

I "need" gears, really want an NFAB bumper (and I kinda "need" it because this one is dented), want to change my exhaust up (which I'm very close to doing), want lift shackles, want UV protection film for these headlights, and then of course I want to retro. I've had exhaust and retro parts pages up on my laptop for quite some time now . . .

I need to control myself haha.

That sounds about right. I've got exhaust, wheels, engine parts, suspensions, the list goes on and on. Too many ideas not near enough time or money.

As soon as I get another job, I think I'm going to get all of this stuff. $2500 of stuff, no big deal . . . If only I didn't need gears . . . I just "feel" poor because I have no income. Money and time are ALWAYS the problem(s)

That's understandable. I have a hard time freeing money up for the truck, too many other things going on throughout the year. Camping, hunting, significant other... Haha. If I could make mid six figures I'd be set.

Yeah, see, I still have zero financial obligations outside of my truck and a few other things So I gotta waste all free income on my truck while I can haha. Don't really hunt, hate fishing, don't camp, and don't have a girlfriend at the moment. The truck is the girlfriend haha.
