Also just pulled the grille to put some black billets in it

License plate has changed since so I didn't feel the need to black it out. Pulling that body molding was a pain in the arse. I have pulled the rear bowtie since the pics also and locking/color matched tailgate handle too.

Hope it's getting worthy of a screaming diesel! Motor mods are light right now but not for long :)
Any input is appreciated as this is my first diesel.

Thanks to all!! It's a LMM and Ya they are 22 XD Monsters with Toyo A/Ts 305/40/22 I have my factory take offs powder coated pink (rep'n breast cancer awareness) that I'm gonna put some M&H drag radials (or any suggestions for best traction at the track without compromising top speed?) on for the track.

The Rigid Industries light bar and dual fogs are probably what I like most about the front end...wow are they bright!

Working on the suspension more next to get it set up for the track. Tho it's a daily driver, the track is a strong focus right now.

Twins (and associated mods, dual fueler/injectors/etc..) tranny build (by either Mike L. or BigDipper) and tuning by Rob is then next.

Gonna try to run 700 to 750hp tune (i know, im probably asking for bent rods or cracked piston...maybe worse.) Nick @ DuramaxTuner had a guy dragging and sled pulling for a yr with twins and fueling mods on a stock LMM top and bottom end with no bang. Made over 800 on the dyno and was running a 750hp tune all yr pulling. I think I will go for it. If it goes bang then it goes bang. Eventually next year a built motor probably by SoCal Diesel, so I'm not to worried.

Thanks to everyone on theses forums for support and ideas. Hard to make progress when your 3weeks on 1 week off for work but it's coming along slowly. This is my first diesel and I'd be nowhere right now without your advice and help.

I've always thought white trucks looked better without chrome. Looks sharp!

Not quite sold on the blacked out taillights, but everything else is :drool:

Ya the Recon blacked out tails were a executive decision from my friend who owns the shop it's sitting at and where we work on it. I wanted something a little lighter smoked but I guess it will grow on me for now.

Yea they are a little pricy but well worth it for the look and light output IMO....guess working 3 on 1 off keeps the pocket book fat ;)

If I remember correctly we dropped it 5" in the back and 4" in the front. The rear is bagged but with future plans I may have to ditch the bags or fab up a frame rail mount for them.
