Nope...there will be some updates this week though. 
Will have all of the interior sprayed by friday. If all goes well this weekend I will be leveling the truck out in the front too. Than on to the steering. Should be interesting doing cross over with a 2 inch lift....it has been done though! I am determined...
oh and the weekend after that my bumpers will be mounted on the truck
....couple more paychecks and I will have a couple turbos in my possession that will be keeping me up at night too, mwahaha!
Keep watching

Little update on interior so far, panels are sprayed. Work on the dash tomorrow, will be spraying the whole dash silver, aside from the black plastic parts. All the trim pieces will be satin black, fake wood decal will be silver as well.

Thanks! Painted them with SEM Color Coat...a little expensive but really strong flexible paint that can be used for plastic, leather, vinyl and carpet.

What i've done before with the extra slotted space to the left of the speaker is put another speaker in there, it really helps the sound on the highway. I'm not sure if you have problems with your stereo but i have a stack and its really hard to hear until i crank it up louder than i wish. Just a little in-expensive touch to get more out of your truck.
I'm also interested in how your dash and gauge cluster comes out as i want to re-do mine. Probably gunmetal like i want to do the exterior. Although i probably only have one more shot before i loose the texture

Looks so dang good! Are you gonna put the big ol' mitre's you have on your photoshop pic? Also, what did you find was the best thing to remove the leftover adhesive after you pulled the trim? I'm thinking of pulling mine...your truck is inspiring!

Looks great Mopowa!
NICK: start with the steering column. there are star bolts on the underside of the column. The top and bottom pieces snap together. I don't know what you gotta do with your shifter, since u have an auto, but then you take out the screws on the dash panel. they are up along the top next to the map light (if equipped). There is also one above the radio. (These are all facing up with the phillips heads pointing down. Just feel for em.) Then pop the top of the dash panel out first, then the bottom. the bottom has a few spring clips so be careful. Then disconnect the message center wires and it is free. Whew. Haven't had to write a paragraph since may. LOL
