    Raptor heads will be purchased shortly. I'll see what it'll cost to get the grill ptm'd.

    I've got a bar picked out for $150, just wanted to see if anyone has a reasonable suggestion lol

    Went down to the dealer to see how much it would cost to get the grill painted if I want to go that route.

    Paint shop manager said it'll be hard to paint the grill because of the finish of the grill. He said he can do it but I won't like it and that it won't hold up very well.

    Looks like I'm not going that route!

    Can't they sand it a bit and primer it. I know its plastic but something can be done.

    From the sound of it, no. He said the color won't look right.

    Honestly, I like the black. I think once I get some raptor heads, it'll look better.


    Replacement grill came today along with some adjustable rear shocks. Since I have quick lifts up front, I went ahead and bought the matching shcoks for the rear. Still have to install my seat heater and my LEDs with the load equalizers.

    Also got a Rough country light bar mount for behind the grill.

    Still haven't gotten the LED lights installed with the resistors yet, had a busy weekend.

    Got the shocks and light mounts installed last week. My factory shocks seemed to be some what worn out when I pulled them off the truck. They were very easy to compress by hand and one didn't extend back out. Glad I put new ones on!

    Profit sharing check is coming on the 10th. Getting those raptor heads but I'm torn between messing around with a programmer as well or getting a tonneau cover. The rest of the money goes towards the kitchen!

    It takes me 3 minutes from my driveway to the work parking lot haha not going to save me much there! All the city driving does kill my mileage though.

    I think I might look at an SCT.

    You should get a bicycle since you live so close. No fuel bill!

    But then you would have to mod the bicycle.
