Thanks guys for all the great comments. I appreciate them a lot. I really have enjoyed working on my dream truck. I have had this vision in my head ever since I was a kid and I am finally making my dream come true now. It's nothing special, but I do enjoy it and drive it everyday.

Sorry, but I just don't like the towing mirrors. They are just a little to much for me. I personally like the smoother look of the smaller mirrors. I do tow some but, I can see everything I need to see with what I have now.

And for everybody that asked about the grille, it is a RDX Full Grille Shell with the 4mm billet insert. It is a full replacement grille.

Your truck looks awesome, tow mirrors would ruin your trucks look. My tow mirrors are in a box in my pump house.

Thanks again, guys! This truck really shows my personality. It is my first diesel truck and I have done all the work myself, except for some help from a few good friends with the heavy stuff.

A lot of people where I live really don't like the truck. I think it's mostly the wheels. But, I like it and the last time I checked that was the only thing that mattered.

Performance, great looking job on the truck. No badges looks pretty cool. Your right, only you matters when it comes to your truck. On that note, I'll agree with your neighbors about the wheels. Big wheels have never been a favorite of mine. JMHO
That grill does look nice. Where'd you get it?

Great looking truck! The first pic caught me off guard for a second, with nothing to compare the truck to, plus the big wheels, it looks kind of like a toy. I love the truck though.

Job well done!

Thanks, thanks, and thanks again for all the great comments.

I ordered the grille from www.stylintrucks.com. It is an RDX grille made by Roadmax. This one has the full open center with a 4mm billet insert. They offer a few different styles in these grilles.

Sorry but I just don't like the tow mirrors. Maybe on a Quad Cab, but not on a Reg. Cab. The tow mirrors just draw to much attention on the shorter truck for me.

I really don't care much for the Vent Shades either, but I do drive this truck everyday. Rain was blowing inside everytime I cracked the windows at work. I had a hard time keeping the seats spot clean. The Vent Shades work good for that reason only.
