Swaped out to the Black WARN 73850 Steel Winch Fairlead which I think blends much better. I have not yet read the manual but is there suppose to be rope or something coming out of that hole? :lmao:

Somebody asked for additional Budbuild Bump Out Slider side pics so hope these help:

And NO, I obviously don't wash her before photo shoots. Although I'm getting worried that whenever I work on the truck I grab the camera before the tools. I'm blaming Antman.

Gotta tell you that your truck is one of my absolute favorites here on the forum! Can't wait to see what comes next! :snacker:

Me too!

I do have a vision of the final product and the list is getting much shorter. Unlike some I'm more a fan of the destination instead of the journey so I can't wait to be done.

Thanks! We need to set up a PA Play Date for the kids.

[Antman]

I hate it. All of it.

Any update on the winch?

Any update on the winch?

Stuck in a NYC pothole and need pulling out?

No updates. Waiting on some stuff so I can get a few things wired at the same time. Suspension must be next as the front is not loving the extra weight.

By the way, congrats to the NYG < cough > WE see you next season :trophy:

The budbuilt additions came out nice. I was looking to do the winch mod also.
If you get it installed and want to test it out, I know a guy with a fire truck........

As for the Giants, thanks. If there were any doubts about who is the better quarterback, Eli or Brady, I think this proved it!

Looks fantastic!! Like a piece of art :artist2:

Are those beefy? or regular BB sliders?

If people keep asking the same questions I'm going to start giving different answers. They are NOT beefy. Check your 'BudBuilt bump out beefy sliders' thread. I added additional pictures. :hatsoff:

Budbuilt Stainless Steel Diff Skid Plate

 

[DEKA3]

Is that the BEEFY skid plate? :hiding:

 

[Snooperstyle]

I am one jealous black LTD owner! Your truck looks awesome! I particularly like how you painted the TE panels to match the LE look and got the black fairlead. Slick!

Is that the beefy tissue holder and muffler clamps?

That was one BEEFY of a response lol :lmao:
Funny enough, I just saw the additional pictures on my post. Forgive me :nerd:

On another note, was it a pain to replace the rockers with those of a TE? Did you have to do THAT much of a paint job to get the colors to match?

I'm thinking, if I find a pearl TE part, it should be as easy as plug n play - NO?

 

[phillyd2]

^ LOL No harm No Foul. Glad to help whenever I can.

Sorry but I can't answer about the painting. My friend is a wiz auto painter who did all the work including clear coating the parts. I initially wanted them kept Flat Black - Trail Style but I am most grateful he talked me into matching the truck.

Audiovox CAM330 Camera and LCDM40 Rearview Mirror with 4" Screen.

Button on the mirror turns on the front camera at any time and stays on until turned off. There is a second Video In plus speakers in the mirror if I decide to add something else later.

Now if I run over the dog it won't be by accident.
