This is not a heavy build as of now. Just starting easy and leaving the engine alone for time being.
The truck is absolutely fantastic, hard to put on a forum page but it’s awesome.
I just had the truck dropped off for paint correction, full PPF on the entire truck, and then ceramic coat over the top.
unfortunately the TRX graphics package had to come off to apply the PPF properly. So I reordered another set.
as of today they just finished the doors and roof to finish it all off. Just letting the edges dry and then reapply all the panels.
As for actual modifications to the truck.
I had ceramic pro window tint 5% on the side windows done.
I ordered the Amp Research XL Powersteps. The rock rails weren’t gonna cut it. My wife loves the truck but it kills her to get in and out with the lift it has. Plus she’s 8 months pregnant so it’s damn near impossible for her. Plus it’s generally easier for me, and I notice when I get out I put a ton of weight on the left side bolster from when I turn and slide out. So the power steps will take my weight off the seat sooner and keep that side of the seat from getting mashed in so quick.
I ordered a glass screen protector for the 12” display. Looks awesome (as in its invisible and cannot notice it) and keeps the scratches off my screen.
ordered a center console organizer. Simple but it keeps everything from flying aroun la when you lift it up.
I ordered a back seat cover for my dog to lay down without messing up my leather.
Added a vertx dead letter bag to the Molle on the back of the passenger seat. So it gives me discreet and quick access to my B&T APC9k pro with Inforce mount and aimpoint acro. It’s already set with a double stack 30 round mag with federal LE +p, 3 extra mags, 2 smoke grenades, karambit, cz sp01 shadow modded with Cajun gun works goodies and 4 extra mags and surefire flashlight. And a blow out kit.
stashed my go bag under the rear passenger seat with a backup Remington 870 tactical and bandolier with extra rounds.
Under rear seat also holds my Tool kit with my basic stuff and electrical gear as well. The floor Storage holds my roadside stuff etc.
as for some more exterior stuff. I wanted to get a nice light setup on my truck.
I never owned an off-road vehicle before, so
I definitely want to tasteful add some stuff to
Go with that theme.
I don’t like super tacky stuff and I don’t want it to look sloppy.
I went with a pretty sick lightbar that I’ve looked at in the past. It’s the Rigid Adapt light bar. I ordered the 50” model. And I will
Mount it to The ram bar on the truck bed. I found some pretty cool mounts from House Tuning. They blend well with the bar and hold everything nice and tight. What’s cool about this light bar is it has a build in GPS sensor, that allows the light to sync with the vehicle speed. So the lightbar will “adapt” to the conditions based on use. For example, the light will slowly turn to a spot light as you accelerate faster and see down the trail. And when you slow down the light will blend into a flood light. Very cool stuff.
after that I am adding 2 rigid SR series diffuser lights in the blackout models to give me some work light in the rear of the truck. This will illuminate the rear area if I’m out working on the rear or rear angles of the truck.
also I decided to add 2 more discreet rigid SL-R spreader series lights to hit the sides of the vehicle at night as well. These lights are unique that they illuminate a 120 degree angle of light. These will be tucked in nice and tight between the two posts of the ram
Bar.
all of the lights will be discreet and match the theme of the truck. And the wires will all be hidden and grommeted cleanly in the ram bar.
I’ve got some pics of the progress. And I got more stuff in store for it, but I’m taking my time through it to keep this thing sexy as hell.
