Thanks for asking, no Mod's lately, however I did get my Front Bumper re-painted. As u can see from the close-up pic I am attaching, my paint was badly chipped on the metal portion of my front bumper & absolutely no where else...Weird

Anyway she looks much better now
* Ruby-Red is stupid expensive & hard to match, my paint guy worked hard.

Looks nice! It was probably bugs and small road debris that chipped the paint. That's why I'm glad mine is chrome!

As always Warren, the truck is sweet brother.
I'm at 55K on my 2013's brakes, and wouldn't mind doing a good clean up and paint, but not much goes with the Kodiak Brown Metallic.

Oh yeah! That truck looks sweet! I like those painted rotors.
I'm getting ready to order the Powerstop rotors for my red Beast here in a few weeks.

I am at 50,900 miles on my OE Brakes & front Rotor's were slightly warped, so she needed fresh Brakes.
FWIW, Black goes with everything

When u do get the Powerstop's, take a day where u can let the truck sit overnight, grab some brake cleaner & 2 can's of "Duplicolor Caliper Paint" from AdvanceAuto or somewhere. It's a ceramic paint & holds up great, my SuperDuty still looked good after 5 years.

Clean your caliper's with a wirebrush, then spray with brakeclean and mask off an area around your truck. Make sure u push all your caliper pistons in before you paint, so u don't scratch your new paint. Most important with ceramic paint is to paint in numerous light coats, I generally do 3-4 coats. You can paint the caliper mounting brackets in the garage separately & I let the paint cure overnight, then reassemble the truck.

Red Paint for the Red Beast

P.S...There is a very IMPORTANT brake in procedure you MUST follow for the Powerstop brakes included with your Kit.
Which includes a total 10 specific stopping procedures to bed the pads correctly.

To be honest Warren, if I paint the calipers at all it will be nest summer. Right now I'm in the final semester of my degree program and I'm so busy I barely have time to maintain the truck. My weekends are booked now thru the end of December. I'll probably just drop it off with my mechanic one day while I'm at work. Let him do that and change the oil and have it done by the time I get off. I'll have a friend at work drop me off at the shop on their way home so I can pick it up.
I hate being this busy, but the end is in sight!

Very easy, I dropped the glove box door down & popped off that small panel on the side of dash. I could reach right through & see what I was doing. Honestly I didn't have 30 minutes from start to finish, in both front doors.
