Default New Around Here

Hey Im new around here, Joined a month of so ago. But only posted once.
I bought a Black 2005 Club Cab, V6 3.7 Auto, 2wd about 5 months ago to replace the White 2k CC, V6 3.9 Auto, 2wd I was driving (untill it needed alot of work)
Heres a few pics of my 2005.
When I first Bought it.

And Now




And here is a pic of the old 2k, After I replaced Both Fenders, Hood, Rad, Upper and Lower Rad Supports, Grille, Bracket, Put on Clear Corners and Crystal Headlights due to a accident. (Box was next to be replaced)
Replaced it with the 2005





Been looking hard to find someone around here who wants to Swap my Chrome HL for there Black Ones, I found a White one /w Black HL, a guy who works at a Dodge Dealer ship, the bed on its Dented in. But hes never there when I swing by with the truck. lol

Also plan to tinted the Tails and 3rd Brake light, and Paint these rims black (for winters) and buy a new set of Black Ones for summer (just dont got the $$ atm). Also plan to Paint the rear bumper matte black, the front Might be getting replaced to add Fogs (as I heard fogless ones dont have the brackets) plus I drive thru bushes anyways, so painted might not be the best haha

Yes they do the brackets are in the piece behind it. i know because i added them. all you need is the fog lights and some wiring. then you can just use a relay and trigger it with the headlights or a toggle switch... and as a bonus if you get the aftermarket housings off rock auto, then they are strong enough to run 9006 chevy high beam bulbs in the fogs. that really lights up the night.

oh and btw.. NICE TRUCK lol. digging the headache rack. and welcome to the forum.

I have some stock 16" from my '06 that I'm gonna be rid of when my Rims come in in may. Let me know if your interested. Ur truck should have a lug pattern of 5.5" x 5 lugs. I'll shoot u a pic later. 5 spoke from a SLT 4x4 in great shape. I'll sell them cheap as Hell to you.

Thanks, Thats good to know they have it. I was thinking of picking up a used headlights switch with the Fog Function if I can.
That headache rack was a little of a PITA to install, as the holes ended up inside the box outside and inside. So we had to reach from underneath the box to install it.
