Removed the bug deflector and the original bumper. Bought a new upper and lower fascia from a local auto body wholesaler, and found a chrome bumper from a local guy. Sprayed the upper and lower with adheisive promoter, primer and duplicolor flame red / clear coat.

Looking very good soon far. I like what you have done to it. If I may make a suggestion, I believe if you painted the step bar the matching color of the truck RED as well as the grey fog light covers RED...she will be very SHARP!!! Just my .02

Nice truck bro

Just noticed this...why did you take out the front hitch reciever and tow hooks? That was def a cool feature. And maybe some new one piece headlights to set off that beautiful new front end of yours

The front end hitch receiver was useless for me. And it looked terrible.

New headlights, 6000k HID's, taillights, chrome step bars and some other little things are on their way.
