Wow great thread!

Cant believe how well the rain gutter mod turned out!

 

[05Single]

Ah nice, spendy kit but looks killer. Those 355 guys are some innovative fools

No updates... This is just for reference later so I know where I left off with some planning/ideas.

Brakes:
Front: Caliper - 07+ OEM
Front: K2067
Rear: K2046
Paint (Goldish?)

Suspension:
Uppers: CA2000U
adjust passenger key (change index) - drop front 1"
Remove 1" spacer in rear - install bump stops

Wheels:
Front: 1.5" spacer - pending upper control arm install/allignment
Paint entirely - brushed silver w/clear

Odds-n-Ends
Relocate/reroute E-brake cable inside cab & wheel well
Paint exterior plastics - Medium Green Metallic (automotivetouchup.com)
Grind roof rack mounting holes/fill/paint
Paint HD grille
Replace metal bumper/paint
Paint HD Cap
Modify bumper brackets
Modify lower valence lip

This is a really nice looking truck

Appreciate it... the voices in my head are painting pictures that, I hope, will turn out to be how they look in reality.

I have been lucky so far.

These rabbit holes I fall down, sometimes they lead to interesting places.

 

[Goodinblack]

Well I love it thus far.

Make me want to drag my 2002 out of the garage and mod it

Hd hood would look sick but grille and bumper will bring your front too low. I say leave grille and bumper as is

@05Single I've already thought of that and will be modifying the bumper, well, the lip, to correct how low it will sit in relation to the side skirts.

I've also got another idea in my head for the front end that I have yet to see done that may play out well. Only issue is that I already have the HD grille sitting in the garage.

And I've got some stopping power now.

Picked up the above kits, installed all of it today.

Gotta bleed the brakes and paint the wheels, then get an alignment but I'm thinking I'll be happy with this setup.

I've been contiplating ideas on how to modify a hd front without cutting and welding the horns as well. Might have a few options. Test them out later

Brakes lookin good! NNBS upgrade seems like such a great deal.

And painted the wheels.

Needs an alignment and the brakes need some proper bedding but here it is back on the ground.
