    I've not got any big changes, but thought I'd keep track of my progress as the truck evolves slowly. Bought my truck back in the fall, and it had a lot done to it already when I bought it. As it sat on the lot, it already had:
    -ARE CX series cap
    -3-1 leveling kit (still unsure the exact type)
    -1.5" wheel spacers
    -Thunderer TracGrip tires 35x12.5
    -Rough Country 30" light bar
    -Rhino Rack cargo basket

    As it sits now:

    At the time of purchase, the only thing I really wanted to do was get rid of the chrome. As I've read here, I've found a lot of other things to do too, but we'll see where that goes.

    First major change was a platinum grille from @famouzstarz then coated with Bed Armor and plastidipped emblem.

    The next step was plastidipped bulge. Also picked up a shorty antenna while I was getting plastidip and added that.

    Other items I'd love to do, but further down the road:
    -amber led lower grille and/or bulge strip
    -cap interior lighting
    -step bar led lighting

    Post up pix of the suspension to see if we can help figure out what brand it came with.

    Thanks. That's cool. I don't normally nickname my truck, but my wife tried to dub it Big Nasty, so I had to come up with a better one to override it.

    I think it's just spacers on the normal suspension, and I thought just the front but when I had it at the shop to be inspected they said something about a 3-1 kit. I'm clueless on that stuff. @Sean266 ?

    FRONT:

    I'm assuming this is a spacer lift here...I'm just not very mechanically inclined.

    Spacers and stock shocks. Try not to off road much with those.

    Yea, I assumed that by the ride feeling when I hit a bump. I don't do any, so I should be ok.

    Took another step in ridding the truck of chrome...vinyl wrapped bumpers. Not the best pictures, but it’s what I’ve got until I clean her. D3495A49-920C-490C-9312-29626DD7C7F6.jpgB034D3C9-69F4-4D31-A508-29EFF49342D3.jpg

    So is that just to increase payload? Won’t matter for me most likely, but obviously the cap adds weight and the previous owner hauled a boat they said so would make sense.

    Wouldn't increase payload but does help with loads and towing to keep rear from sagging.Screenshot_20180119-183110.jpg

    @AlexWV
    Sure is looking good, of course starting with a Super White rig leaves 80% of the rest of the Tundras WAY behind.
    Amazing how this site drains the bank account. I had no idea there were so many things that can be modded,nor how many of them I needed till I started spending time here!

    Little better picture to show the bumpers. Now I just need some warm weather to get her cleaned up and get the tailgate letters applied. Black emblems to come this summer too

    How you did the crome on the grill, did you wrapped with vinyl or plastic dipped? Nice look.

    The bottom surround is just white from a limited. The bulge is white plastidip. The center is bed Armor. Thanks

    So, your bottom surround was white and you plastic dipped the top chrome on the hood? The color match good.

    Yea. The color matches great. Texture is obviously different
