Photoshoped Rendering...

[IRONMAN]

i agree- who came up with gray when all the other accents on the truck are black.

Anyway, i can do all but paint this trip, so i have bedrug and bakflip f1, 5star, raptor decal, window tint, wheels and tires. I think i gave a tailgate shock too in the box... And lets not forget a full detail. If i get around to it, there was led internal lighting on my list as well.

Next trip will include cai (when 5 star is ready with orange), other decals (back door and hood), level, and paint on fender flares/bumpers.

After that, phase three will be exhaust (headers and true dual similar to txraptors).

And lastly probably some rigid lighting... Contemplating projector headlight replacements and maybe blacking out all the lights.

What am i forgetting?

security and better braking power.

security and better braking power.

Not sure what to do about security- you mean like aftermarket alarm, Jimmy jammer, lojack or what? Truck will either be in garage or i'll be in it.

As for braking power, I'm planning to use the 17" wheels for off road, so I'm limited to rotor/pads with stainless brake lines and better fluid. Next step would be to abandon 17s and do a larger caliper, but I'm waiting to see how I use it before i decide.

Anyone done more than rotors/pads yet?

Mine sits in the garage as well but when I go out and it's in the parking lot, THE ALARM is ALWAYS ON. You can't be in it 24/7. I also have a security camera in mine. Call me paranoid, better to be safe then sorry. Camera is also good for driving down the road and some PUNK ASS decides to cut you off at the last minute you have proof of what REALLY happened in court.

My car is in FL and I'm in NY, so I've been planning the modifications for several weeks. I created a Photoshop file and I tried a number of tire/wheels combos, decals, paint (flares and bumpers are painted in final image), and stuff I'm forgetting. Here is the rendering of the mods scheduled for next week:



Once I get everything on, I'll have to take a pic and see how closely it matches.

Finally got everything I could on this trip completed. Last week it was stock, after the weekend, I had added: Bedrug, Bakflip F1, DeeZee EZ Down, Window Tint, Fuel Octane 20x9, Toyo Open Country M/T 35x12.5x20, 5 Star Tune, Custom True Dual Flowmaster Exhaust, Rocker Decals, oh- and an Aquapel Treatment on all the windows. Here she is:


The exhaust I wanted out of the way

I have no help here to get much more than this:

Thanks Bird- something's wrong with the YT links... apparently it's not parsing the board code too well.
ETA: I got rid of the YT tags and it seems much better...

That is really nice looking. Glad you went with the black color combo, it really sets off that orange. Where did you get the rocker decals?

 

[IRONMAN]

Looks awesome! Love the rims and tires.

Got them from Larry @ yourdecals.com. He's got a variety of options, and is happy to customize if you want something special.

Thanks- I'm happy with them. Switched ideas a few hundred times, but I think they ended up pretty nice. Doing all the versions in photoshop first also helped me decide.
