I purchased this truck in December 2011. Here is what it looked like when i took ownership.

So far i have replaced all of the lighting. I added halo headlights and foglights with black housings, LED taillights with a black housing, smoked 3rd brake light, and plasma glow scanning LED tailgate light bar.

Other exterior mods include tinted windows and eyebrow, blue windshield wipers, Black AVS window vents and bugshield, black vertical style grill, black powder coated step bars and bull bar, and bushwacker pocket style fender flares.

Upcoming exterior mods will be 17x9 black wheels(undecided on style yet) wrapped with 32x10.5 mud terrain tires, BAKflip flush mount folding tonneau cover and black tube style bed rails.

Performance mods will include K&N air intake, headers, exhaust, and programmer.

As far as electronics go I have installed an Avital 5303 alarm/remote start system. I also have an Alpine PDX F4, and a pair of Alpine PDX M12's that will provide power to the sound system. High Output Ford 3G alternator from Ohio Generator, and upgraded battery under the hood and secondary battery in the back will provide current to the trio of alpine amps. Double Din will be going in the dash to handle processing. Door panels will be removed and get sound dampening as the stock 6x8's will be replaced with a 5 1/4 component in all four doors. Back seats will be removed and rear wall and floor will have sound dampening applied, and custom box built to hold secondary battery, amplifiers, and probably 4 10" subs.

Four months into the project and the exterior of the vehicle is getting close to complete.

 
ok so ive added my wheels and tires, and picked up the katzkin custom leather seats for my truck. getting ready to do the stereo install.
