Another Desert Dawg Build in-Progress...

Well, since I got my new Platinum a couple of weeks ago, I decided to move ahead on some mods. So far, I have installed -


• K40 Calibre Remote Radar System with Laser Diffuser
• Ford OE Rubber All-Weather Floor Mats
• Linex Spray-on Bedliner
• Matching Front Tint
• BDS 2.5-inch lift (front/rear)
• Nitto Trail Grappler MTs 295/60R20 (34-inches tall)
• Moto Metal 961 Wheels (+18mm Offset, 5.71" BS)
• Magnaflow Stainless Steel Dual-Exit Exhaust System
• Smittybilt Light Bar
• PIAA 540 Ion Plasma Driving Lights
• PIAA 520 ATP Off Road Lights

Took some more quick pics so thought I would share how it's turning out:

Hey mSall....no, my last one was old because it needed its first oil change right before I sold it.

After a couple weeks of work, your truck looks like some people dream their trucks will look like after several years of work. Amazing!

It looks great! How do you feel about the red inside the rims?? Not sure its something I would do. It immediately reminded me of the stance I had on my '04....

I was nervous about the red rings because I have seen these wheels on other trucks and was not convinced they looked so good but so far everyone who has seen my truck in person has really liked it. But I may also order the black rings just to see how different it looks, but right now I think I like them.

looks good overall, not a fan of the wheels though. maybe if you had that red ring PTM the truck but those rims just don't look as "clean" as your past few set ups.
