The preview looks good. Can't wait to see it when you get the whole package together.

Roll pans on lifted trucks is a big no no in my opinion. I got the tow mirrors for the look, but I do tow occasionally and I'm sure they'll be invaluable then. A roll pan will never happen with this truck. If I ever change bumpers it'll be a custom fabbed off-road type.

The eyelids were done with color match paint (4 coats inside the lens, 1 coat black/2 coats clear on the outside). For the record, I was the first to do this style/technique of eyelids (and yes, im proud of that fact lol)

I greatly appreciate all the comments guys. Its been several months since I've really done anything with this truck, and as the saying goes "when it rains it pours". I cant wait for this unveiling. Gonna need a couple days off work to get it all done. Being that I've only had 6 total days off in the last 2 months, looks like im gonna have use some leave to finish it

Wow, truck looks slick!!! Makes me wish mine was black. Do you wheel it? And if so, how do you like the Auburn?

dont wheel it too extreme... its a long freaking truck lol. if i wanted to do gnarly stuff i'd get a jeep. i do take it off road on occasion, but not in the mud because of how hard it is to get out of the motor. The auburn is AMAZING. Since it was put in, ive never only spun one wheel. on any surface, slick or not it locks up extremely fast every single time.
