    First mod was the scariest, BHLM:

    Also blacked out the front emblem:

    Took out those crappy interior lights and changed them out for some LEDs:

    Got some vinyl decals from Tundra6 on Tundra Talk and threw them on (it's the one on the right):

    I blacked out the taillights and used VHT on the lenses:

    Got my 6" dumped systems from Keith at Dirty Deeds Industries and got it installed:

    And the newest modification, tow mirrors:

    Many more to come hopefully! Just need to learn how to save money for all the other stuff like lift, wheels, sound system, fender flares.

    Plasti-dipped and lowered!
    Looks great! I like the red bolts on the wheels. I was thinking of found the same when I get methods.

    Good work on the BHLM. Did you add enough silicone around the outside to prevent moisture buildup?

    There was no need to Sean. I did it about 5 months ago and no problem even with all the rain and humidity here in Georgia.

    Nice build. I like the red on the wheels as well. Thought about doing something like that, just haven't yet.
