Just saying hello from north Houston

Bought new May 2017 and had dealer set it up with the cover and leather seats.

Didn’t even have the truck a month and someone smashed my tail light so I upgraded to the winjets.

Don’t listen to the radio so threw on the cheap shorty antenna for looks. Also put in the rubberized bed mat.

Put pop lock to operate the tail gate lock with the fob last week.

Put on pro grill this weekend. Next is taking off the tail decals, adding spyder head lights, and powder coat the bumper corners. I think I want to build boxes for under the rear seats too.

Mechanically I’m happy with the truck but will probably upgrade shocks and such after warrantee runs out.

It’s 98% a pavement princess for the foreseeable future.

Yeah... my brother in law was trying to talk me into black with red stitching... I told him it looked awesome but i didn’t want to fry my ass lol wanted black stitching with the grey but they didnt. I got 3 kids under 6 and plan on keeping the truck for a while so leather is a must! Full coverage all weather floor mats is on the list too haha

Agreed! I'm gonna have a hard time moving away from the all black interior I have currently when it's time to buy the leather. A very dark gray might work though. Huskyliners are the top of my list right now! My kiddo let a piece of candy liquify into the carpet from the heat...

Statistically the drivers side rear seat is the safest place to be in an accident.

But there are 3 back there the other two were just easier to remove to show off the leather lol

I don’t usually let the kids eat in the car unless we’re going to be in the car for several hours... but sure enough, I popped the seat up and found a few pieces of liquified hard candy stuck to the carpet like you describe lol
