sat on the tailgate under the canopy door thingy out in the field and had a beer cuz it started to rain. then i decided im gonna pull out my "Pendaliner" plastic bedliner and wash the bed out. i did see what the huge dent in the side of my truck did to the inside of the bed so i should be able to straighten most of that out. then im probably just gonna throw some rubber mats on the bottom to protect the bottom and stop **** from sliding around..

I like the D ring. The lights look good. I saw some hooks but may get one of those instead. What is the difference between the 500's and the 500FF's?

I finished my damn brake lines, everything is brand new except master cylinder. Calipers, lines, hoses, wheel cylinders, hell new wheel bearings.
In the process of doing the rear I noticed my rotting shackles have finally given up and began to crack apart. I'm building my own and flipping them with longer shackles.

Finished my shackle brackets, going to mount them up tomorrow, gotta get some shackles now.
I might end up having to make shock mounts, this is gonna be a flex monster.

the FF's are free form, as far as i can tell they are directional beams more like a spot light and the regular 500's are more like a regular headlight

Thanks. I was wondering about that. I have 500 amber fogs. Just 2 mounted on my grill guard. Probably a little high but they do still add side vision.

I had my radiator flushed out and fresh anti-freeze put in. Now my truck's engine is protected from freezing down to -35 degrees.

PSA-Check your antifreeze if you live in the colder climates.
