Lots of toys! Post up some pics as you go along.

 

Absolutely. I am still waiting on a couple of bottles of PTM Tuxedo Black in brush bottles and a tube of black silicone to do the trim on the tails. The only thing that will take a good bit of time is the door handles and mirror caps. I am contemplating buying new ones and doing them so I can do the install in 1 day and not being without my truck since I drive it daily. Then I could just sell my current caps and door handles to someone who wants to do the same.

 

Lol judging by your parts list and what sowed up at your door you must have had your fingers crossed when you wrote that!!!! Lol. Can't wait to see the pics!!!

 

lol. I know, right? Thank God I no longer have a wife to explain it too.

 

Everything has arrived. If the rain and cold will ever stop I have lots of goodies to install.

 

If the rain and sleet and snow will stop I can get alot done.

I got my PTM brushable paint in and black silicone so I spent the last 3 days doing the tail lights. 3 coats of Tuxedo Black and then backfill with black silicone. It was a painstaking process but I think they turned out really well. I will try to get a close up in actual daylight if that time ever comes. lol

Here is a couple of closeup shots of the Tuxedo Black trim on the tails now.

 

Well I finally got some work done today. It is also with great regret that I admit I have gotten way too out of shape and fat. I have been working from home for 3 years and it appears the inactivity has taken a great toll. I got in the floor of the garage to do the wheels and upon finding my impact and compressor are not strong enough to remove the lugs I found out I almost never got up off the floor. Thank God my truck was there to help.

On a brighter note I have a good friend who is going to install my drop shackles, exhaust and wheels for me tomorrow. I will be there to assist but I have an uphill health battle that must be my next fight after this truck is at a stopping point. I am not working at home anymore so there is no better time than the present.

Anyway, enough of my sob story. You guys want pics. lol. Only 3 and not much to report but I got the STX and Flex Fuel decals removed, front license plate and bracket removed (Need to find something to fill that crater) got the FX4 Heads and tails installed and got the nerf bars removed. I also ran her through a quick car wash to get a majority of the dirt off but since its going to rain I did not get too picky with the results. I am not sure if I will be putting the nerf bars back on or not. I originally intended to PTM them but I kinda like it without them. Thoughts?

 

Looks very good. Yep, I like it with out the beef bars.

 

Looks really good. Makes me want to get my tails done this weekend.....

Ready to send me those headlights? I'll pop those shackles on for you as trade

 

I am actually going to be getting rid of the lights, front and rear so feel free to kick me an offer on any and all. I still have the box from the FX4 lights so shipping is not an issue. The take offs have 1300 miles on them but are in great shape. I can snap a pic tomorrow if needed. The shackles and the rest are supposed to be put on tomorrow but if they don't, I will be interested in trading services for goods as this is an unexpected cost.

 

The OEM wheels AND TPMS sensors are also going up for sale. As a package deal. My new wheels already have sensors in them.

 

Pm me a price, tires also?

 

Yes, tires included. They will be fresh off the truck. I want to make sure my new ones can be sync'd to the truck before I sell them though so I will think up a price and let you know. Might be a few days.

 

I believe the light will come on briefly but should relearn after a mile or two
