Woops, I had it on Kijiji (Canadian Craigslist) just took that quote from couple months ago.
It should look really nice, I like the chrome with black on the hostages, will look really clean with my chrome and black look.

Looks sick! Will be even better with the plans! What you working on now?

Hey thank you man, I appreciate it. As stated, it should go as planned. As of tomorrow I am starting the frame painting process. I think I'm going with red.
I'm going to be hand painting the frame. I have a mint frame surprisingly cause Canuck. Than the tear down of UCAS/LCAS, kicker bracers and hope to find some traction bars for it too, to also paint red. Ordering LED Strips and switchbacks off Ebay today.

Nice truck, plans sound good.
Thank you, sir. Appreciated.

Edit:
Found a set of AMP steps up on Kijiji, brand new in box. Might go pick those up also.

Try to get 5050 dmd strips or just go with Vled strips. I had cheap ebay ones and while I thought they were good the Vled strips blew my ebay ones out of the water
 
Nice. Share your progress with us.

Sure will, going to be a fun ride! A lot of learning ahead.

Hey guys, just checking in with a couple updates- I bought an AFE Cold Air Intake and efans yesterday. Going t have to order the harness for plug n play.

I also found out I have two weeks off around Christmas, so I'm hoping to get a lot of stuff done on those two weeks. Let's see how it goes. Anybody know the average price of a TBSS intake? I'm going to have to do an intake gasket job.. so why not upgrade while I'm there?;)
 
Another update- picked up some readylift keys off a friend. Ordering dynamat for le subs. Starting tear down tomorrow
 
Ya, big old shop with everything I'm going to need except Tbar tool. Going to have to order one.

Going to order LED stripping. How many M's do I need to do underglow and stuff?
