my Platinum photo thread
I posted a few pics before when my truck was new but I figured I'd start this new photo thread of my truck and keep it updated as I add some minor stuff to my truck.
So far I only got:
35% front window tint (tried 20% first but seemed way too dark for my taste)
Bakflip HD folding cover
rear door sill protectors
removed 4x4 bed stickers
Waiting for/on order:
Husky painted mudguards (should be painted by body man today, he only had them for the past 3 weeks!)
Carriage Works black lower bumper billet grille (needed something to cover that bumper opening for now)
Extra set of Platinum rims from another forum member so I can put on BFG AT KO LT285/55/20 for fall/winter setup (already have the tires)
Weathertech Floorliner set (rear mat should be out in 2 weeks)
here's a couple of pics:

Also, If you're looking for a Bakflip bed cover, email me through my profile and I'll hook you up with info about the online store I bought it from, this guy said he would try to hook people up. He had the best price I found online, plus he knocked a few more bucks off when I called him directly.

thanks guys...
They are from the Auto Vent Shade (AVS) company, same guys who make the vent visors. I originally bought a 4-door set for my old 04 truck. I used the rears on it, and saved the fronts. Now I used the fronts and cut them to fit my 09 rear sills. I can't remember where I bought them but just do an internet search for AVS door sill protectors or stepshields.

Steve? I have the 09 FX4 and I just hauled a load of firewood today and I only have 110 miles on the truck and just got it 2 days ago
How can you haul anything with that bed cover?
you should see the inside of my bed, its all dirty, scuffed up, scratched, but no dents yet, but I expect some dents in the future
(my spray on bed liner is going to be done next week)
thats a pretty truck, but I like my truck muddy and scuffed up
yea, thats me, i am the guy that takes it off road, gets covered with mud and don't wash the mud off for a week.

What a great looking truck!
Would like to see a photo of the grille when you have a chance.
And removing the decals looks much better!
Has anyone seen a Platinum in the Sterling Gray / Black Interior?
There don't seem to be any in my area.
