I've already finished both side fog lights but good comparison on how the dodge fog light looks compared to the Ford opening. Won't have that ugly plastic. Plastics on top of the bumper will be shaved like on my current bumper. And will be closing in the inner hole some again and ******** the tow hooks and plating where they were to smooth that out. Then maybe if I have time build a box with a uppers scoop that shoves all air up towards the radiator. I'd rather it be metal than that crappy rubber thing Ford put stock.

I'm sub'd...just curious...if you have that many badass cars, why daily this one?
Mainly cause I've broken the other ones to much. Lol.
I'm gonna try and grab a daily by December. About to have a police auction here and they've got a few Vic's left so probably will jump on one.

So you don't really do truck stuff with this vehicle..... the truck stuff like hauling, towing, and work are out the window.....

It tows every weekend. Don't know how making it look better changes that.
I'm a mechanic so I don't work out if it.
Still hauls fine. Just went and grabbed 3yards of dirt today.

People who think you have to tow, hit job sites and mud holes with a truck. The majority of truck owners don't do "truck stuff" with their trucks...

My truck does normal stuff, not any of the extreme jobs. I'm not stupid enough to take a 60k truck out and beat the ever loving piss out of it. These trucks are to damn expensive for that. I plan on protecting my investment. If I wanted to beat on something for work I'd go buy a old 6.0 or 7.3. Something that I don't care about.

Lol trucks are meant for work and flogged daily. If you don't do that-nothing wrong with that. Majority of guys drive for pleasure and safety and that's perfectly fine.

If I owned a 2017 6.7 - I'll flog the chit out of it too b/c that's what I do to trucks haha. Never have I passed remarks on folks that enjoy their rides - you sir are of those people. I fancy what you're doing actually - I think it kicks ass haha!

My comment was to the guys who think a truck needs to be on a job site, hunting etc, otherwise you're wasting it. I've got a beater 2002 ex cab silverado with 250k miles I drive daily, it stays clean, and doesn't get flogged..I just really appreciate not worrying about door dings, if it's gonna hail, or the like. Keep the nice nice type deal.

Interested in seeing how this turns out..not sure about the chevy gate or the wing, but I've been wrong and will hold my comments to the end.
