the guy i bought the truck from did a seat swap. these are some 2003 f150 cloths seats.

if you look at the shifter i wrapped it with paracord by doing a bout a thousand halfhitches on it lol...



i also used some paracord and made a snake braid handle to help short ppl get in.

so you may notice that i am having a little bit of a camber issue lol i was told it was because i have bad balljoints and tierods. anyone who as ever done this i would appreciate a discription (with picture would be great) or overview because i am pretty sure i know what to do, but i have never done this being that i am only sixteen.

after i got a job at a sign place, i soon realized that when yu take apart old signs or signs that were messed up that you can get your hands on a LOT of two diode LED's that are strung together almost like christmas lights. i have probably about 200+ from 2 different jobs lol.











so with a little bit of double sided tape, wire (my dad is an electrician so of coarse we had some laying around), some wire nuts, and redneck engineering i got these. but a week ago i actually found out that i ran the wire right behind the hood spring (pivit point or whatever it is called) and after closing it a couple of times i fried one of the wires lol but i will fix it soon whenever i get the time.

I like the LED's behind the grille. Did you wire those up to a toggle switch?
