@chrisd91 Nice little build!
If I had any, they're on my laptop which I haven't been able to find for the last year or so
The next cosmetic project was color matching my tail light plastics and tinting the lenses. I used Duplicolor perfect match for the plastics, and VHT nightshades for the lenses
In late October '11 I final did what I should have done the first day I got the truck: I had my windows tinted to 20%
Around thanksgiving time 2011 I picked up a set of 18" wheels from Craigslist.
They had a bald set of tires on them, and my treadwrights from fall of '10 were quite worn. I ended up going with a set of 285/60r18s from treadwright, this time in an AT tread.
With a stack and a VGT it was entertaining to play airplane

I also decided that I missed the loud cummins sound since I switched to a VGT and I decided to try to regain it with a miter stack
Mockup with PVC
Stack and stack plate I made
Sootsly, my carbonaceous pet
Oralling the coal like a loser. I'm kinda embarrassed about this now, but it sure felt cool when I was younger and dumber :hehe:

I eventually raised the stack a few inches to quiet it done and get less spot on the cab
Over Christmas break 2011 I put in TopGunzCustoms .5" longer control arms, and made a light bar with relayed wiring
Played with some effects
Spring of '12 had another string of cosmetic makeovers for my old girl. I switched out the the chrome housing smoked lens headlights for black housing clear lens headlights. I also color matched a new grille and the folding portion of my mirrors. Halos and LED lights in the headlights are powered by a relay tripped by the parking lights
I also had a local shop cut and bend a bumper for me based on a design from another forum. I mocked it up, but never had time to finish it and install it
I am liking this truck!
