Confused the hell out of me with the old picture of the exhaust and then the next post the truck is sitting on the tires...
How much drop are you running?

Yeah that was the only pic I had close up of the exhaust when it was on 20x12 & 33’s lol. It’s a belltech 2/4 drop on it now. Drop spindles in the front and the stock keys turned down some so it’s more like a 3/4

Found me a z71 valance tonight. Got the fogs removed and cleaned it so it’s ready to be dipped black hopefully tomorrow. The fogs are a little beat up but I think I can clean them up to look new again. The guy I got it from even cut the pigtails so that’s one thing less I have to get. Ordered new clips and I’m hoping to have it put on this weekend. Eventually will try to find some nice led fogs to put in but for now I’m just gonna run yellow bulbs since I have plenty of light with my projectors. My 7” auxbeams used to be the brightest thing I had and no they don’t really do anything when I turn them on so not worried about going to a factory housing for now.

New clips and 3000k bulbs should be in tomorrow for the valance. Got it dipped tonight. Thanks to @05Single for the tip with the plasti dip. It really looks damn good on plastic. I’d much rather do this than try to get it to look good with actual paint the texture is perfect. Gonna let it sit and cure till tomorrow. still gotta rewire for the factory fogs then get everything mounted

ordered new clips to mount it, some yellow led bulbs, and some new fog housings since mine were kind of torn up. Ended up happy that I bought those but I’ll get to that in a minute.

used my dads shop and lift so I wouldn’t have to lay under it cause I’m lazy haha. Got the valance removed, clips taken out, cleaned the bumper, and pulled the led pods out. Wired on the factory pigtails for the 880 bulbs

So I put the led bulbs in one oem fog, and one of the aftermarket fogs, the factory lenses made it have absolutely no output so I decided to use the aftermarket housings. Left in this pic is factory, right is aftermarket, you can see a flat beam from the right one but nothing on the left they just are yellow

New clips on and it’s mounted. Looks sooo much better especially black and the output on these fogs isn’t absolutely terrible so that’s good.

Stopped by the parts store yesterday and they had a 4.5” stainless exhaust tip on sale. Figured why not But was worried it was gonna look goofy. I think since I have a lower wider setup on such a big bodied suv that it kind of hides how big a 4.5” tip is. Either way doesn’t look bad imo and will do the trick until I find a gloss black one I like. Btw it hasn’t been washed in a week so she dirty af right now haha.

Had one of the first bigger nw audio competitions today. Managed to pull first in two classes and got my very first best in show award so that was pretty awesome. Ordered a 05-06 lower front lip which came in today so hopefully can get it put on tomorrow!

I must admit, what you have going on there with your truck is truly impressive and shows your attention to detail and quality. It’s been fun following your work.
