Been a long winter, build updates 👊

It's been awhile since I've posted or actively been on forums other than a few Facebook pages lol.... it's been a long winter but finally closing the gap from this chapter of my build and thought I'd share. Let's see you're winter projects too !!!
My truck is a 15 but started doing a 18 swap at the beginning of the Winter season...

For this chapter I'm using OEM Raptor aluminum boxsides, fabricating a custom grill, custom bumper, custom fenders, shaving fenders and tailgate, modifying a spoiler by Air Design, custom carbin fiber leather on Lariat dash and door inserts, fabricated radio bezel, and integrated a aftermarket double din to work with sync from a vehicle with a 8" Sync when was told many times that wasn't possible and when wiring harness isn't available......

Welcome back.

I was wondering what happened to you because the last posting that I remember, you were changing the grill again for the 2018 headlights.

Looking forward to seeing the progress on your current modification.

Have a great day.

What did you use to lower the truck and does that affect your towing capacity?
