Hmmm... other than color change, what mods are you referring to?One that has not yet been done by anyone!
On a separate note, I met a deer today at 55 mph. Truck held up better than I would expect but I have a huge list of parts I need. Good news is my parts truck has all those parts. Ad news is that the parts are red not blue.
The skid plate I took from the parts truck is just a mangled heap of metal now, but it did its job and saved my underbelly. Bumper got shaken up good, salvageable, but I'll just swap it out with the FX4 bumper anyways, as I've been debating doing that. That honeycomb grille I loved so much and finally got my hands on after years of searching is in a thousand pieces on the road and this brings up a good time to do a 04+ front end swap. Header panel is shredded and the radiator support is twisted. Fenders are mostly fine, dented a bit but the real issue is that there is a half inch gap on each side between the hood and the fender. Not sire how to fix that. Finally the hinges were bent so I'll be putting on some nice red ones.
My truck won't be all beautiful blue anymore and it really bums me out, but things could have gone a lot worse... I had two of my best friends in the truck with me and if I didn't react as fast as I did someone other than the deer could have been injured.
On a betrer note I am now gutting my interior... A major. Interior swap has begun.
