first and foremost, get some new wheels and tires.
tint
repaint bumpers with some Krylon Satin Black or something to freshen them up
same with plastic trim, you can use Krylon Fusion Satin Black

thats about it

Update the side mirrors, update the taillights, tint for the windows,

Down the road, think about updating the front end, if not, just paint the bumper and grill black.

Exhaust tip, or just cut the end so it doesn't show

get some nice aluminum rims. 30x9.5 BFG AT's. Sell your toolbox and get a thicker one. Rocker panel bed lined. Use a torch to turn you fender flares black.

I disagree with the toolbox. I prefer the low profile boxes..
Also, mild crank of your tbars(if 4x4, can't see pic in original post now since I'm replying through tapatalk) and get some 31x10.5s rather then the 30x9.5s.

Also, Jason how's the torching of the flares work out? About far would you want the torch?

Lose the antennas, it's not a Kenworth, and get some real tires-BFG all terrains. Find a fiberglass topper on Craigslist, for free, etc,. and paint it to match.

Or they make a dye for plastics that imo will be better than torching it.

Honesty is appreciated. The signature says most, except for the 5% tint everywhere but front, where it's 20%. Also have buggman's emblems in black and chrome, along with the LED ovals from buggman as well. BL is on the way, and I've been trying to find a way to get MT Classic Lock blacks on there. Also want a roof rack for the capper with some off road lights and a spare.
