Transcript
I think today is the day where I change up the front end a little bit. Let's do it. So if you guys don't know by now, I'm swapping out my grill. I'm transforming my truck back to how it originally came, and no offense to all the pro grill lovers out there, but kinda feel like it's played out a little bit. But then again, I changed my mind on everything no I rank put it back on. Who knows? But I'm gonna try it out. Well, I'm basically just gonna take off all these clips, bust my old grill out, put it back on. Sometimes these clips are a bitch, dude. They're hard to take off. Ow.
