    Not sure how much of a build this will be, but I’m always doing more and more to my vehicles, though my autism results in many errors...so I figured I’d keep track of it here, and maybe give others some goodb ideas. Here is our truck as we got it.

    I started with little things...

    1. Changed chrome emblems for flat black.
    Didn’t change grill emblem because I havent decided what I’m doing to the grill yet.
    2. Added smoked wind deflectors.
    3. Installed textured black Bushwacker Flares.

    I’ll figure out how to do links later.
    YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook should all be able to be found under twinfinfishing.

    Only a couple of videos so far until we get a boat and rig up the GoPros....and probably a drone. Plenty of photos though.

    Got a little $10 tray for the console. I am very pleased with it. 09AB15EA-4DE1-4DEB-9494-E1E4C20B7D07.jpg

    Oh! While I had the console apart for the heater switch wiring, I wired the power port to constant power instead of accessory.

    Decided I didn’t like the vinyl inserts, so I hunted until I found something I really liked.
    These steel letters are flat black and match the tougher exterior appearance I’m wanting. 9F56C9CD-6D94-4064-986C-806D72A6916E.jpg

    What’s a reverse vinyl wrap?

    Working on making a custom grill. Leds will most likely be involved.

    I’m gonna need a break before I do seats again. Lol.

    I looked into it. It’s very nice, but I don’t want the lower portion, and I like the layout on this top portion better for my needs.

    Ah. If I don’t do leds in the rear, I will spray tint them...with a subtle shark over the reverse lights.

    Not yet. Rods will most likely be stored on the boat, and we use the Jeep if we go bank fishing, and have stainless rod holders installed in the front bumper.

    Very pleased with my led install in the bulge grill, but decided to paint bulge while it was off. Stupid humidity here. It never dried.
    Hopefully tomorrow won’t be as moist.
    It’s needs to dry soon because radio arrives tomorrow and I’ll have a new project to focus on.

    Don’t know why I’m posting, since the Phoenix Tesla style arrives tomorrow... but I changed my startup image:

    Did you do it installing it? Otherwise why install, I'd have just sent back to get a new one.

    Apparently it’s a defect in the design where the top cutout isn’t big enough.
