the first third break light was the stock one with your Amber 194 LEDs in the socket (i should still have it so Ill post up a pic of that later) and the 194s I got at Autozone for about $5 - $7ish. also right now the tail light is red LEDs for the break light and clear behind red lense cargo lights (kinda hate that but if i known i woulda gone with different set up...

Sounds good Jaime. while your at it check to see if you can get out the jack and check if you can pull out your lug wrench thing because i went to remove it once and it rusted and got frozen around the thing that holds it. It wouldnt be any fun getting a flat having a jack and a spare and no wrench. PS. i pulled out the jack in my truck jacked it all the way up it didnt come anywere close to the axle and its stock height.

Thats a nice truck, I like the color too. I have a question though. Why paint the frame JD green? It doesn't go with anything else on the truck.

I know where the spare tire is but what jack you talking about? where is it located? my spare looks to be full size but i know for me its going to be a paint in the back to get it down and all that....

simple, I wanted to and also that was what I had on hand, plus it was either the green or ugly yellow and I really already had the rust reformer and primer and I didnt want a primer frame and I was bored of the classic blah black frame

The jack is literally stored in the passenger side fender...Behind the battery, and in front of the heater core....

There's a wingnut bolt that holds it all together, and can be a BEATCH to get out.....
