Check it out!!
Pics up finally in my gallery! I'm pretty proud so far, I did all the work myself including fabricating the lift, painting (do that for a living) and modifying the front end parts.
I still have a bit to do but the exterior is almost done. I still have to change out to tow mirrors, paint the rear bumper and shocks and add a cowl hood. I am also pulling out that broken tool box (came in the truck) and getting a bedliner soon. I still have to add 37 or 38s but that is a big ticket so it will have to wait!
Sorry I didn't take any detailed pics of the truck stock, I didn't like the way it looked anyway LOL but it looked line any other run-of-the mill SD.
My interior plans will soon start! Color matched leather (black/copper) new carpet and headliner, dash, gauges, system, ect....
Let me know what you guys think!

The grille is a fle-bay job, its a one peice plastic but seems to be built decent. I paid something like $130 for it. I intended to paint the frame of it but it looks good like it is so I'll leave it until the chrome starts fadeing or chipping then I'll paint it or get one that I can paint to look like the HarleyDs
Funny you meantion the running boards I honestly overlooked them. They clean up decent with armorall. I really don't like running boards and would love to take them off completely but then my g/f couldn't get in the truck lol and I'd have a bit of a time with it too! I may change them out to tubular maybe, I can't decide...
And I'm from the Northshore area just above N.O.

gold accents?So I changed my mind to silver then to grey (like the 08s) and finally settled on copper.
