I dropped the tailgate, spare and got rid of that fugly plastic bedliner. Then I've painted up the underside. I undercoated the body and sprayed the axles and frame with gloss black, painted the diff cover silver, and painted the exhaust flat black. I also just ordered a decal to go where the diablosport one is that says "Muscle Truck" in Bold block letters, it's 2"x15"

Also not shown in this pic, I trimmed the tailpipe back about 15" to right at the last hanger, but I might trim it some more

Very nice! It's amazing how a few cans of paint on the underside can transform a truck..

Got my decal infrom decalkits.com, but had to install it off centered because otherwise it would have been blocking the hole for the spare tire winch. Relocated the Diablosport decal to the bottom center of the rear window.

I also went ahead and dumped the exhaust with a turndown right after the muffler and then hit it with a coat of flat black VHT Flameproof header paint. It made the truck sound alittle deeper at idle with a tad bit of drone (kinda like sitting next to a diesel at a light) but other than that the truck sounds exactly the same while driving.

I also took the K&N filter off of my dakota and put it directly onto the TB until my BFI arrives. Holy crap does that thing make the engine loud when accelerating!
