Wish I could load a pic of it so that you guys could give suggestions. There is one in my gallery and will take more of the mods that were previously done.

Looking good, the white mirror caps are a nice unique touch

Those mirrors are hideous. I will gladly relieve you of their unsightly nature in exchange for my stock mirrors

Good looking rig bud, I'm a fan of white and tan. Might I suggest pulling the grill inserts and painting them a satin or gloss black? Personally I found the stock gray to be a bit drab and cheap looking... $12 and an hour later, front end looked much better IMO.

I also recommend swapping out for some one-piece 2005 headlights to clean up the front end a bit. They get rid of the amber corners and have a much nicer crystal lense, which in turn offers a better light spread and pattern.

For future reference, if you're trying to share pics from your gallery there is a pre-filled text that you just need to copy and paste into your text block here and it'll display the picture. Just click on the picture and you'll see the options on the bottom left beneath the pic.

Welcome! I had words typed under your picture, but I am not good at internetting today. Your truck looks a bit higher that stock and I like those wide tires. I see that Matt has you covered on the photo instructions so I wont type them again.

Everything you see is how I bought it. Only thing I add was the cross bars for the roof rack. Which I horse traded for by making a few paracord bracelets for the gentlemen that had them.

Going to try to get some pics of the interior so you can see the few upgrades that were done prior to my ownership.

Welcome. Nice Ride.

I would leave the cross bars off the roof rack unless you are using them. They scratch the paint.

Here are a few more pics now that the rain subsided here. The only thing I have done is the wrap on the steering wheel.

Scratch? Mine had worn clear through to the metal! Stupid design.

I just took my cross bars off as well after reading it here. Definitely a silly useless paint eating design.


what is that thing on your gas pedal?
