Pics as promised...Im not finished with it, still plan on putting on the ring/lip/frame, whatever you want to call it. That should make the hole appear a bit smaller too.

A roll bar with 4 fog lights across it
A diamond plate bed cover....

I do plan on building a front bumper for it, I plan on building it from template and having a shop cut the pieces with a plasma cutter. Something big with super sharp angles. I like the front end of these truck so I dont want to hide it with a brush guard but I like the idea of 4 KC's across the front of the bumper.

Rear lift right now is priority. But Ive been throwin around ideas of shaving the door handles in favor of jeep / buckle style door handles. Then filling the tail lights and drillin on some LED trailer lights Is it getting a little redneck in here? I think so.

Interresting idea but if your open to all sugestions, idk if the shape is right on the reds.

Not critisizing, just throwing out my opinion bud, lovin the truck so far and cannot wait to see whats to come next. Keep up the good work!

I welcome criticism and your right about the shape, reason why i choose those in the pic is i think the round ones will be too big. Im still playin with shapes. Maybe two round on each side?

Started work on the ring. I made the shape last night, made it larger then cut it down when I realized the curves fit right inside the hole. Drilled the holes and drilled the 45deg taper in it...still needs cleaned up and painted. Looks kinda cool shiney. Still need to make another one for the rear.

The hardesr part was shaping the curvature of the truck.

When its mounted it will stick out just slightly.
