To give myself some hope that my rig will eventually show up and help me spend more money on mods/accessories...... Even though my rig isn't a tremor (you guys still have the best HD forum) I hope I can help others spend more money than they intended on their trucks. This will be a RV tow rig and Home Depot runner as I have a company car for work (at least until it dies) Outside of the occasional gravel or BLM road it will be asphalt bound so most of the mods are with this focus in mind. I did go with the Dark Marsala interior because A. All grey/black tones are a bit monotonous B. Everyone else does grey/black C. I like the contrast and think it adds a bit of class to an already drop-dead gorgeous truck. I love some of the darker exterior colors (looking at you Antimatter blue and Iconic Grey) but have always felt that the lighter colors stand out inn poor weather and in the dark.

Nope, it's not a tremor. But when I get finished with it the only difference will be that I won't have trail crawl mode. Looking to add the eaton LS added to the front when I get my Carli setup installed.
 
Looking good. I’m already digging the subtle mods. The pocket lights look good in contrast to all the white. Any other plans for changes?
Thanks, I like keeping it subtle (or as subtle as you can be with a big arse truck) Today I'll be pulling off the FX4 sticker and putting on the tailgate vinyl. After that I'm on hold for the exterior until Carli can ship the parts for the Backcountry setup. Inside mods will be subtle too. Will post pics

I think it’s going to look good. I’ll be watching the progress.
 
It is looking good!

😂 something is clearly amiss, I get great mpg’s on hwy ~21-22 (not under load) and best I’ve seen is ~650 miles to empty. I actually don’t think I would get quite that far as it’s not a linear drop through the entire tank, tends to drop faster the closer you get to E. That said OP might have an after market big fuel tank and adjusted the onboard computer (if that’s even possible).

Yep, I have an S&B 60Gallon tank and it is easily the best mod other than the suspension IMHO
 
I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a Talons Garage trans skid plate/ cat shield. This thing is nice and can be installed by one person in less than an hour.

Not the best pic in the world but you get the idea of coverage.
Here is a shot of the area around the cat.

I'll upload a shot of the wing plate that protects the oil filter when I get that put on. I also went ahead and ordered the DFP shield as well.
On the website they say that these require higher than average mechanical abilities to install but I think that if you have the proper tools and you're comfortable assembling a bookcase from Ikea you'll be fine. YMMV

Thanks @Talon2006 !

Thanks for the shout out! We are getting those bolts sent out in the mail!

I really need to get a photo of that cover on the website as I forgot to put it on for every single photo I took!
