    That's very true! I'm itching to get back up there for another ride. We'll have to do that again in the not-so distant future.

    New stock headlights up next. Not going to bother polishing my current ones up. Always reverts back to crap. There are some on Craigslist all the time for around $100.

    Chrome door handles and mirror caps go first. Bumpers stay as is for now. My time line is to have my blaaaaack beast ready by next Toytec Customer Appreciation Day!

    Found black "Limited" badges on Amazon. Going to convert all badges to black ones. Going to get Pro hood bulge and grille w surround from @Roman here shortly. Lift can wait along with skids. Got to get externals done first.

    I plastidipped my emblems and it went great. $6 worth of dip, some painters tape, and an afternoon got'er. :thumbsup:
    I also put on black bumper covers from @EC1 to finish off my chrome delete.
    Next up is the Victory 4x4 slimline bumper :)

    It doesn't last, especially where I go..need permanent solution. I can get all black badging for less $50 and be done with. My new build is going a different route from my 07.

    Understood!
    I figured I'd try the Plastidip, and if it peeled I would just buy black emblems.
    So far so good!

    Looking forward to seeing this build Matt. The 07 was a hell of a truck for you, hopefully the 14 will be just as good.

    Hopefully other drivers will be able to see the black color better.

    My 2014 will be better. Most of the goodies I bought for my 07 were less than 50% off Craigslist. My full BedRug was $200. Seller wanted $220. My ARE topper was $200 off Craigslist. My Ranch Hand grille was $200. Had to drive Monument to get it. My OME setup from Toytec was less than a Grand installed. My RCI gas tank skid was free after using my raffle card. I took a hit on my other skids and new Ranch Hand rear bumper. Got my 6 FN wheels for a great price, courtesy of the T- Rexx thru Dave at Toytec. My 07 looked and was bad ass. Wasn't afraid to take it anywhere. My total mods including my two sets of Coopers were less than $7K! There are folks here that spend $7K easy just on shocks and UCA's and never take their Tunny off road! After being on this forum now for over 4 years..I've got some great ideas for my 2014...

    I still have a set of Coopers and two FN's. I was thinking about going to 17" rims but it would be cheaper for me to just buy two more 18"FN BFD's. Makes the most sense.
