I feel you pain man, mine used to clear the top of my garage by 1/4"...now it doesn't lol. Could only get it about half way in the garage and have 3 feet of working space on either side so it wasn't worth it anyway lol.

For the door seal mod about how much tubing did you end up using? Also what was the diameter? I need to do it because i sanded the seal where the common rust occurs from the door seal rubbing the paint off the doors and now i get bad wind noise on the highway.

50 Feet Black Rubber Latex Tubing 3/8"OD 1/4"ID (#804R) by Spearit
Only thing with it is they say that it may not be one continuous piece mine ended up being 1 44' piece and a 6' piece. Luckily I was able to work with it.

Hey Justin do you have pics of the retrofits against the house after you got them redone? Just curious to see how it changed, I've been debating doing this i just cant decide on how much i like the look and if i would like it better if the shroud was painted black.

When you do the rear diff fluid are you going to upgrade the cover?
Ford Rear Differential Cover 12-10.25, 12-10.5 at DieselManor
I will probably end up using this kit.

You can get the cover for like $45 from www.tousleyfordparts.com, the bolts for 10 bucks or so at home depot/lowes/fastenal and the sealant at any parts store for <$8

I just put up the new pictures and video of the lights. I definitely considered the black shroud but opted for the chrome just becuase it looked more factory. I may down the road decide to paint the shroud and reflector, but for the most part i don't think I will. IMO it looks cleaner in chrome. I love the output and love how it looks, i just need to figure out what i'm doing for the grill and for the bumper and I'll be happier.

Very nice, that's what i thought leaving them chrome like yours but i think i might like them better painted black with maybe some grey to match my paint and my reflectors as silver on the sides as well. What did lightwerkz do differently than what you did originally? I was going to attempt to do it myself but if its not worth my time and effort i will have them done.
