Hey everyone, I've finally gotten around to making a build thread for y'all. I bought the truck as it sat in the first picture. The pictures are in sequential order.

Appearance:

6" Rough Country Suspension Lift
5" Rough Country Blocks and U bolts
20x12 -44 Fuel Renegades
35x12.50" Nitto Trail Grapplers
NFAB side steps
Custom built Morimoto headlights w/4500k bulbs
All LED lighting inside and out
Renegade Mesh Grille
Spray-in bed liner
Swamp Assassin Texas decal
Painted to match emblems all around the truck
5% tint on all windows
Tractor Supply tool box (black)
8 White Rock lights (2 under each fender). I no longer have the RGB ones.


Performance:

Black Widow Pro Series-Venom 300 muffler
Dual 4" exhaust tips


Interior:

WeatherTech floor mats
Pioneer AVH-P4300DVD 7" touchscreen HU
Kenwood 5x7's all around

UPDATE: 6-30-2017

I got rid of my Fuel Renegades and went bigger with some 22x14 American Force Trax SS6 on some 355/40r22 Nitto Trail Grapplers. I personally love this look a lot more. I have a lot of truck parts getting ordered within the next month so I'll have another update for you guys soon!

So all that's changed here is:
22x14 American Force Trax SS6
355/40r22 Nitto Trail Grapplers
Chrome Spiked lug nuts

Still have a long way to go, but I have a lot of changes coming soon so I'll be sure to keep this thread updated with how the build is going! If you have any questions about parts or anything I'd be happy to answer them.

Looks good, those fuel wheels sure look a lot better than the other ones!

One thing I'll warn you about with that lift is keep a CLOSE eye on those U-bolts. Rough Country is known to use terrible U-bolts for the rear, the ones I had on my truck kept stretching and stretching and stretching. I threw them away and put in some 15/16" U-bolts (what you find under buses and semi trucks).

Thanks! Yeah, those Mazzi's were so dated so it was time for a little upgrade. I'm planning on getting some coil overs up front, and getting some 8" Atlas leafs in the rear and doing away with the RCX U-bolts. They're holding up relatively good for the time being, though!

Nice looking truck bo.

I love seeing builds like this. The only thing I don't like is the lights above the tires. Makes the car look stroked out

Those trucks are real good, I also have a 2004 Lariat that I used to drive all the time but since I've got a 2013 Camaro ZL1 (hence my username) so the truck doesn't move much anymore. It has like 207k miles and it's good for the most part other than a misfire. It has no mods other than a King Ranch grille and LEDs to replace the bulbs for the interior lighting. But overall I still love the truck.
