Within the past week I have changed my truck's appearance completely, OEM style at that.

Painted door handle buckets, Harley Davidson edition grill with PTM surround, and painted the '06/'08 primed bumper I had.

Before.

And my friend and I swapped mirror covers as he wanted some chrome, & I plan to PTM my ENTIRE mirror assemblies, no more textured plastic!

Still got the rear bumper to get & paint, along with the mirror assemblies, possibly the stock valance. Then maybe chrome tow hooks, definitely '09+ Lariat badges, and gloss appearance B-pillars. Then a ton more on-top of that!

Swapped out my stock coil springs for the Moog heavy duty replacement coils and threw my leveling kit back on. Got tired of it being nosed down, I'd rather have it nose high instead of that.

Tossed on a HBS level kit, shaved the emblems, fixed some dents and repainted the tailgate and front fenders, ptm mirror caps and door buckets, installed keyless entry on the drivers.

Tell me about fuel prices. Filled up today to the tune of $74 and that was with a 1/4 tank left. Thankfully i only have the smaller tank.
