    Haven't updated this thread in a while.

    Got some pre cut tint from @Matte Tundra for my reverse lamps. Installation was difficult. I have never applied tint in my life. I used the wet method + heat gun. It's not perfect but looks good from far.

    Nice. Make sure you watch some YouTube videos on how to apply tint on headlights and tails.

    Looking Good! I like those gorhino bars. I need tires next. might be the push I need to get rims too. Thinking of going back to 18's as 20's are damn expensive!

    Looking good for sure. I really like my 18" BFDs. I get comments all the time. "Where did you get those rims?" 17" or 18" is the way to go IMHO. More sidewall the better.

    Got my RCI engine skid plate.
    Way more coverage than the stock sheetmetal. Was a bit of pain installing with truck on the ground but still doable.

    Re-used my diff drop spacers and bolts and it cleared the diff no problems.

    That's tight! I've been checking out the OrFab skid/cat converter cover/ transmission cover myself.

    They are solid! thanks

    Just do it. Its only money... lol

    RCI also makes a transmission shield. The RCI definitely looks stronger than the OrFab.

    Nice thread. Nice truck. There's a few things I would do differently, but that's the beauty of "customizing', it's about YOU.

    Very, very good work!
