Keith.. I think it's a gen 5 thing... You have the 5.5 I like to call it.. I think it was specific to 01-03 before the new grille...

Mike, LOOKS AWESOME MAN! I run mine on down at school... Cops are rump rangers and pull you over for nothing, it's gay lol

I dunno how WA cops are about that **** though, so just don't do anything wrong.. I know it's hard... lol

they turned into a 4 AM venture with Shane.. involving lots of light mods, various light bulb switching, putting in a new speedo cluster, and general 'everything' involving trucks, lol...


Give me a bit, as I have a truckload of pictures, and a set of how-to pictures shane and i cooked up concerning speedo cluster and interchanging things.. including setting the speedo with a battery (works great, tested it on my rig after i did the cluster swap..



Edit: I think I'll hold off till tomorrow to get all these pictures resized and copied over to photobucket.. there are 170+, tons and tons to go through! lol

Not too shabby. to secure it even more I think I will pull a Shne and get some angle irion to block the front of it.. that way no one can get a clamp around them to spin em.


Ohh speakin of that.. any luck looking at getting those extended brackets made by the way shane? Need to be about 2 inches wide, roughly an 8 inch piece bent around 3/4ths in with a 2 inch pipe bend Should work perfect methinks.. looks sorta funny not being able to put them where they should be lol

lol...yea...uh....i'll figure something out tomorrow at work. lol. i'll make 'em extra long so you can make them fit just right. give 'em to ya at the meet(hopefully). if not, nightshift is better for doing stuff like that...no big bosses around. lol. i'll just drop them off or something.
