It's too dark and it was when I got home. I need an emblem first. Makes my truck look like an 04 but looks better. I'll post some eventually.
I'm also torn about selling the chrome H or putting it up in the garage one day w/ lights behind. A bar did it here w/ an econoline from the 80's. Put beer taps in the chrome bumper too.

Do you have links to the parts? I wanna do this to mine so I have auto control for both from my side.

put my step bars, front mud flaps & front sway bar back on. fixed my leaning drivers seat by getting a longer bolt and spacing the left rear seat mount up by almost a inch. treid to remove broken rear sway bar, but need a impact. might search for a good one to replace it with.

Alternator is about to kick the bucket, every time the bass hits when the lights are on the battery voltage meter drops almost to zero and the lights go almost out. So 130 amp alternator and big 3 upgrade here we come.

Sat in front of the house, then went out and wheeled her a bit. And the noises from the rear stopped. Not sure if that's bad or good...
