Flow 40 dumped
Smoked tails and 3rd brake light
De-badged excepted for RAM
RAM badges painted black
Grill painted black
3" PA BL
Leveled
Rock Lights (love them)
Back up lights
Baja lights behind the grill
Custom made light bar (no lights yet, waiting to get back from the other side of the pond)
Tool Box
CAI (custom painted)
Power Wire

dude I love the look red with gloss black or is it satin/ either way works. One question on the cai your oil breather tube is disconnected. Isn't that where the o2 sensor should be on the cai? And a breather filter monted too that tube?? Thats what I did btw . welcome too df where you from? as well?/

For the grill....I just taped off the part I didn't want painted and sanded everything down the best I could. Hit it with a self etching primer, than the satin black. Didn't have to take the inserts out and they are the stock inserts that came with the truck!

And for the CAI...that pic was taken right when I just put it on after I painted it. I hadn't hooked everything up yet. But yes they are hooked up now, nice eye tho!

I'm from Columbus, IN. But I'm currenty in Moab training to go to Afghanistan. I'm in the Amry, and I'm a Military Police officer.

And thanks for the compliments
