    Welcome! Nice color. I actually like a little chrome on the ole platinum... but to each his own. Mine has the big beefy toyota running boards, which I actually don’t like that much, but they work really well for my two little boys when they are climbing in. So I’m going to keep them for a while. I don’t like the chrome on the running boards though. Has anyone had Line-X spray running boards to black them out? Wonder if that would look better?

    Color matches mirror caps are in! Black door handles are in! Interior LED replacement lights are in! Dirtydeeds exhaust ordered and GatorTrax tonneau cover should be in within a few days

    Offshore for another week, but I'l have a ton of goodies waiting for me when I get home. I need to get off this site before I need a second mortgage :rofl:


    :spending::spending::spending::spending::spending:

    Will try to take care of bedliner, window tint, and ceramic coating next week as well! Anyone went with a different color spray in bedliner besides just basic black? Considering colormatching the bedliner bright blue. With the tonneau cover I think it may light up better at night with lighting over the black.Screenshot_20180919-212311_LINE.jpg

    It took me a good portion of the day to do the swap. Moving sensors, installing lightbar, and winch. But it was worth all the work. 20200312_075603.jpg
    I went with the Rigid 40" curved radiance

    Sooo... I tossed it in the dumpster. It has some limited damage plus I had dremeled out the inside a bit to fit my tires. Some stupid girl side wiped me and destroyed her suv lol. I lost some paint on my bumper and a small section just below my headlight. It twisted the plastic just enough that I was back to having serious rubbing issues at full turn so I just went ahead and swapped to aftermarket bumper.
