What kind of glue do you use to put them back on?

I don't remember unfortunately. I ended up using plastidip on the side emblems this past winter and it was way easier and allowed me to keep the emblems on the truck while I did it.

Saying goodbye to my shitty plug n play HIDs soon. Sorry to anyone in San Diego or Tucson that I blinded. I'm ordering a pair of projectors from the retrofit source later today. I'll most likely paint the housing black once I get them. How horrible would the light output be if the painted the chrome behind the turn signal?

Painted and installed. I can't wait for it to get dark so I can adjust them and see how much better the light ouput is.

4 Wheel Parts is claiming that Bilstein 5100 shocks will not fit on my truck. Front or rear... Are they right? I've got a 3in spindle lift up front and a stock rear end.

Okay that's what I thought. I hate buying from them but they have a decent deal on 4 bilstein 5100 shocks right now.

Got my new shocks in today. Hopefully I will have enough time over the weekend to install them.

I think I have a bad wheel bearing. I am getting a squeaky/grinding noise from my driver's side front tire. I'm dropping the truck off to my mechanic tomorrow to get it checked out but does anyone have any idea on what it could be just for my curiosity before it gets figured out? My tires had been wearing down a lot on the inside so I just got an alignment done and they got everything to spec. At about 60-70mph I get a horrible shake in my steering wheel and that squeak/grinding noise shows up sporadically at about 30-45mph. I haven't been able to hear it any other time. My tire also seems to be losing air pressure too. This is the side that had the most damage during my accident last march when I practically drove up the hood of some girl's Honda Accord when she pulled out in front of me driving the wrong way down the road.
