Been a minute since I've updated this thread :p

Oh that's right I went camping again. I'd never do that would I?

Eastern Washington is beautiful in summer.

Have actually been home the last few weekends, the most recent one involved a full wash, clay, wash, cut and polish of the dually. It's amazing how good it looks now.

Done! Oh and I ditched the plasti-dip on the bumper. Not sure if I like this better or before.

And, a snapshot of what is to come.... Something involving Z71 taillight covers.

Very nice! :worship:
Your truck is always an inspiration.
You make me feel bad about never washing mine though, I think I'll give it some love this weekend.

The front bumper looks much better without the black IMO.
It matches the rims well.

IDK about those taillights though o_O

Those tails have been on the truck a LONG time, they were just covered in a nice dark vinyl tint. I bought them specifically way back when to smoke, thinking the black housing and clear lens would "hide" the best. Now my tastes changed some, and pulled the smoke. I DO NOT like how they look as they are. They will be changed for sure.

Anyway, just noting that today is the 1-year anniversary of the supercharger saga.

I like everything about your truck. I think the chrome front bumper looks better than the plasti-dip option. Plus the wheels are perfect. Just my opinion.

My take on LED tails. I probably should have originally bought the red set way back when, but I had these and the OEM tails. BTW the OEM tails were coated in nightshade.... So the process involved removing that with lots and lots of wet sanding. Started out with 400, moved to 600, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000 followed by Compound, polish and wax. Once they were back up to par, bake them for 10-min at 200 in the over, pull the lenses, add some RTV and slap them on the LED bases. They were a direct fit.

Remember those Z71 taillight guards? Yup. Put those on as well. I'm, not usually one for stick on accessories, but these were provided by Ma General so they are acceptable in my book ;)

Some shots on the truck. The leds work perfect behind the OEM lenses. They are nice and bright, line up with the OEM cuts in the lens, line up with the Z71 covers, and have that perfect blend of custom and OEM that I love.
