Rain died down so I got to finish up.

Didn't have whatever clips are supposed to go here, so until I figure that out, zipties!

Super clean! Where did you get those parts from?

Headlights were from Amazon and the grille/header panel were from getallparts

Today I replaced my dimmer switch. I have headlights again and don't have to use my brights like a jerk!! Also put in the EP27 relay to get rid of the hyper flash with the reduced blinker bulb usage from the swap.

Ordered a front emblem- waiting for it to arrive.

I like the newer look.., headlights white trim.. but I have to admit as weird as it sounds I like the older grill. Yea I know, its not "sporty" looking but it makes the truck look like a truck in my opinion. All that plastic looking front end with the honey-comb for some reason just seems to emasculate the truck into a driveway queen and offers less protection to the behind the grill area. But to each is their own.. still looks good, just my take on it.

I hear ya, and to each their own! Luckily I'm a lady so I'm OK with emasculating LOL. Personally after the swap I finally feel like the truck is 'done'. It's not, much left to do, but I'm much happier with how it looks now.

Got my emblem, repainted parts of the grille that got scuffed during install, and removed the rear jump seats. Gonna build some sort of inconspicuous tool storage and a cozy yet safe place for my pupper.

Took out the jump seats and put in some storage! Gotta get a lock for it.









FAR from pretty, but it does the trick!

Not too much to report as of late- at least not much that can be seen from the outside. Did lift the rear the rest of the way up, got new brakes, ujoint, pinion seal, feels much better driving. Next up gonna clean out the IAC and TPS just because I doubt that's ever been done, then work on getting a new exhaust put in. Old one is rusted out in many places.
