    Bought the new truck, here is the start of the mods....


    Support FSC and see no ads! - Click Here
    SO I bought a new truck and I started the mods here a few days ago.... I should have it all together by next week... but here is the progress so far.....

    Here she is in stock form...




    Then I added the HID conversion to the headlights, AirAid Intake and PowerAid TB spacer....





    I got her back from the body shop on thursday and this is what they did.... Shaved all emblems, smoked headlights, blacked out taillights and painted and installed the Keystone Restyling hood...





    And then today I installed my US Speedo Gauges and my Edge Evolution Tuner.....




    What do you think so far?

    On the list for next week to get done...

    8" Bulletproof Suspension lift
    Fox Coilovers in front and Fox Resevoir shocks in the rear
    Bushwacker pocket style fender flares (painted to match)
    20x10 RBP 94R Black wheels
    Black RBP RX Rivet Grille
    Gibson Extreme Dual exhaust
    RBP Black exhaust Tips
    Iron Bull winch bumpers in front and rear
    Superwinch 12.5K winch in front and 9k winch in rear
    Baja Designs Soltek Fuego HID lights in the bumper
    GoRhino Dominator 3 steps
    TireGate Bed mount spare tire carrier
    and of course I am going to get the windows tinted


    EDIT... I forgot to mention, 37x13.50r20 Kumho Road Venture M/T tires
