Default 2009 sport build

Well, so far this truck has been awesome. It's let me cut it up and do whatever and not caused problems at all. I've done a lot since I bought the truck from a Toyota dealership so I'm late to the build thread. But I've made a lot of progress since day one. It's a 4.0 2wd sport. It's very clean and only about 60k on it right now. Here is the picture that I saw and knew it was mine. It's a fun progress and hope it continues going good.

Things I've done so far:
Black billet grill
Tinted the taillights
Plastidip on the rims and ranger emblems
Custom ford emblem on the back
Torsion bar crank
Toolbox
Black headlights
Arrow antenna
Offroad lights

That's where I'm at so far. It's coming along and I have a list of what's to come next

Exhaust
LineX
HIDs
Led everything else
Body lift of 3
Suspension of 3
33s
Cragar rims
Anything else?

I would color match the outer chrome part of the grille or paint it black. The chrome looks out of place

I disagree. The chrome is picked up in the wheels as well as the tool box. Straight black will make the front look like a big black grill hole.

I would also color match the grill surround.


And lose the mud flaps.

I've heard some say paint it black and some leave it chrome. I like the chrome because of the toolbox, rim center piece and the inside of the headlights.

Mudflaps have been removed. Still haven't decided for sure on the grill bezel yet.

What doesn't make sense? The headlights are black on the inside, you know paint? The lenses are clear so you can still see at night meaning you would still see the HIDs. LED bulbs are bright so they are easier to see so I don't get rear ended.

So I am a hater for pointing out worthless mods that make the vehicle harder to see and see out of????
headlight mod..... painting the inside..... read his response to you.......



i took a poll and yes you are a hater.

Sorry I'm not old and take pride in my truck and making it look good. This forum, it's about helping people with problems, giving advice and just meeting people. Being an ahole isn't a good look for you. So instead of hating that your truck doesn't look like mine just be nice.

----------

And also, if you'd look at my headlights, you'd see it still has the reflectors inside for the light to illuminate properly. I'm not an idiot.
