Wrapped my hood in satin black vinyl. I think it turned out pretty good.

I went to Protech powder coating in Lakewood. Did a good job.

Awesome, thanks

Looking good, I keep thinking about doing this, but still haven't gotten around to getting a new hood from hail damage. I'd imagine the hail dents would show right through? Given all the chips on the front of the hood at some point I'm going to replace it.

Need to also chat about rear storage/fridge slide at some point as well... I meant to look at your setup and never thought about it at Twin cone.

Yeah it doesn't hide dents at all. When you get your hood fixed let me know.

Wow this thread is so awesome, I just binge read the entire thing. Your rig is awesome and that rack you made is so nice. I really want to get into welding, I want to try to make my own rock sliders.

Thanks man, I haven't updated it in awhile. Hopefully this spring I will start modding again. I have big plans in my head, but little money in my wallet.

You should totally build your own sliders. Buy a welder like the Eastwood 135 mig. Good entry level welder. Watch a bunch of youtube videos and get some steel scraps and just practice. Its fun!

Great looking build! Did you end up selling your old roof rack?

Yeah I did.

Did a day trip up Pikes Peak. Took some pics.

Great looking truck. Looking forward to starting on some mods this summer on my 2011 that I just got. Getting plenty of ideas from threads on here like this one.

I really like how your rig looks. Dumb question, but why did you tint all the windows 20%? They look like they match in the photos, but since the back windows come tinted from the factory, are the back windows still a lot darker in person?

SWEEET truck! love the roof rack, and the sliders, and the wheels....could go on for ever! Question: what size spidertrax spacers do you have? That stance is killer.

Yeah the back windows are a little darker. The tint from the factory is pretty light compared to other vehicles and the factory tint does not reject heat like window film.

Thank you! They are the 1.25" spacers

Our trip up Metberry gulch last weekend. Lots of fun!

Metberry Gulch is a fun little trail.

I'm starting off with some cheap/free mods first.



I installed some Infinity Reference speakers up front. They sound a lot better. Probably not as good as the Kappas but I couldnt find those anywhere.

Than I installed a "custom Homelink system"

Then I installed an HID kit from XenonSupply. I did the 6000k low beams and 4300k fogs. Im pretty satisfied. Quite a bit brighter than stock.

RMH, when you installed the front speakers in your runner, were they pretty much plug and play or did you have to modify anything?
