IIRC a softer compound means they wear quicker, like the Duratracs.

And those fender liners would be great, I'm tired of cleaning mud out of my engine bay.

Haven't updated in awhile. Small updates, nothing major. Long story short, I thought my pinion bearing was going out, took it to AAMCO to look at, they said it was my trans. So I took my trans out and had it rebuilt, put back in, still making the whining noise which tells me AAMCO was full of crap and it's still my pinion bearing. Said screw it, I'm going to drive my truck again and deal with that later lol. Time for pics

Bought a B&M plated trans cooler to replace the stock one.




Finally got to mounting my light bar since my last one was stolen awhile back. Mounted it in the upper grille this time, little harder to steal than the lower grille.


Had to cut the center support on the header panel to clear. Makes it lighter anyways lol.




Then I took my truck to my friend to make me a spare tire carrier.


The added weight in the back is a plus too for the Deavers


Last night I decided to make a bracket and mount some Raptor style LED's I got from superbrightleds.com


Came out pretty nice I think


That's all for now!

I tapped into the interior/dash lights. I believe I found the one going to the stereo or my EATC. That way they just come on automatically. Does that kinda answer your question? Lol. I also cleared my inbox, saw you were trying to send a message

I used these ones https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...-led-light/56/ careful with the blue, don't want to get ticket for impersonating a cop lol.

----------

I made a bracket with angle piece of aluminum spaced 6 inches apart. They have kits on eBay you can just buy, but I didn't feel like spending that kind of money for 3 accent lights lol

....so I decided it was time to upgrade. Might as well go all out right? Picked up some King 2.5x 10"


Since I was in the buying mood, I figured I should buy some front shocks too since Ill be redoing those eventually.



How do you fit 2.5x 10" shocks in the rear without cutting your bed and without using stock location?





Cantilever of course. Brandon at BTF built this and I couldnt be happier. Does great work and answered all of my dumb questions haha





Grabbed some FOA 2.0 bump stops for when I redo my front end

What is this kit?

I used a 90° piece of aluminum. Drilled 3 holes spaced 6" apart for the bolt lights I used. Then drilled 2 holes for bolts to mount to the header panel. I can still take pics for you if you'd like?
