Freaking LOVELY truck man. I'm a Lowered/Street Scene Truck Guy, but I def. appreciate a Lifted 4x4 done up right. Is that Color Black Tuxedo?

Also, I think the Harley OEM black housing lights would look better than the aftermarket projectors OR even better, a retrofit. It just seems like these Aftermarket Projectors have way too much going on in them and take away from the aggressive-ness of the truck. Just me though.

Still, 5*****!

Thanks and it is a Black Tux. I like the HD heads but was looking for a little change up front. We'll see if it lasts.... HAHA

Bee-yoo-tee-full truck, bud!!!

You asked for our opinions though, right? Here goes:

I'm not sold on the headlights. I think I'd use those as temporaries while you send your factory housings to a reputable retrofitter. Wassyman on here does some outstanding work!

Secondly, I'd scrap the CAI until you're tuned fer it, and even then I wouldn't run an oiled filter.

And the Fartmaster? Sorry, no. Judging from your list of mods, I'm thinking money ain't much of an issue. Since that's the case, I believe you'd be much happier with Borla. Again, just my .02. A muffler ain't gonna make or break anybody performance-wise. It's mostly about sound, and that straight-through sound is far superior to the Flowmaster sound, IMHO.

Other than that, I'm insanely jealous!

Thanks for the input!

The Flow was a spur of the moment muffler shop stop. Ya I know who does that??

I will probably end up with a Borla Catback but have always like the rumble of a flowmaster. Can you just get a borla muffler or do you have to buy the whole system?

Sticking with the lights for now....

Have already been thinking about ditching the CAI. Just too loud! Makes me feel like an old man saying that!

You can just swap out mufflers. That's precisely what I'd do too. I KNOW you'll love it!

The noise from it isn't the main reason I'd sell it....unless you get a custom tune fer it.

Edit: I got the username fer the retrofit feller wrong. It's actually wassy989

I've only seen them with the whole system... Any idea where to get one?

Nice truck think I would have skipped the leveling kit and just bought a 6 inch suspension lift in the first place. Lol

I like the head and tail lights...

Where'd you get them?

Was the install simple enough that even this caveman could do it?

Are they effective / better than stock halogens?
