Default Chad's 2002 XLT build

This is her on the day I bought her.

Shortly after I started doing a few small things to make it stand out from the basic stock trucks. After the basic fluid changes and throwing in a k&n air filter I tinted the tails and third break light

Before:

This summer I ditched the roll up tonneau cover and picked up a black topper. I just built a sleeping platform in the back that my wife and I will use on long cross country road trip. I lost the side profile photos before the lift but here it is after the 3" body lift and with the topper on.

After:

image-3632377180.jpg

And here is the platform I made. It has 4 opening doors. Two on each side. Eventually I plan on closing off each compartment as there own box but for now I will just have large plastic bins underneath the platform for our supplies. I will be putting so,e kind of foam on top for sleeping purposes.

Sleeping Platform build:

Put the foam on the sleeping platform today. And cut a piece for a cooking/table that fits on the tailgate

Bedlined the fender flairs and front balance the other day. Really like how they turned out. I'm going to have to sand down the back tube bumper and put a coat on that here soon.
