Couple new mods

I haven't posted any recent pictures of my interior which is where my focus has been since the 4x4 swap. It's becoming more and more like an Explorer everytime I work on the truck.

Enjoy!

Explorer cloth seats scored for $50! Power driver seat.

Got my foglights fixed. The plug melted on one side due to high wattage bulbs.

Yes they certainly are. The light output is simply amazing with them....and believe it or not they cut through fog way better than Silverstars or pretty much anything else I've tried. I have a drawer full of headlight and foglight bulbs lol.

I got the L1224R's installed late last night. No pictures yet. All I know is that they are ridiculously bright and I'm mad it took me so long to get them put in.

I really like how everything under your truck is painted... If I wasn't so lazy I would get mine done too.

I don't have any at the moment, but I can get some.

That console came in a bunch of different Ranger's, mine specifically came from an FX4 Level II.

Definitely get the L1224R's. They're amazing.

They're an eBay special. I want to say 3156 SMD LED's or something. Just search for they, you're bound to find them.

It's even cooler if you see it in person. It's a gray hammertone powdercoat. It's pretty sweet.

Haha, 99c flat black spray paint and a little time is all I did. Took maybe 20 minutes and actually held up pretty good.

Hahaha. Mine aren't HID. Actually neither of my lights are HID. But regardless the light output is super ridiculous for these fogs. They're 80 watt 9005's. They are sooooo bright.

No problem. I'll get you pictures of my new powdercoated diff cover once I pick it up. It's sweet!

Thank you so much again! I had something on my brake pedal and walked about 200 yards away. Ridiculous! They're sooooo soooo bright and I absolutely love it!

Yeah. The flasher is good to go. I had bought one a while back for the other LEDs I had in and it worked just fine with these.

do you know if they were the 60/40/27/24/18 SMD? the 60 SMD ones are $65... superbright LEDs has the 18s for $10, don't know how bright they would be though.

SMD LED

These are the exact ones I bought. They actually fit in the 06+ taillights because I had a different set that didn't fit.
