Tell me about it! Very nice! I want to coat everything in POR15 next summer. My fenders supports by the front doors are practically rotted off.

Hey, no problem. Anytime you have a question, feel free to ask. That's what we're here for.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I wish I had an actual camera to take pictures because I couldn't get the depth of the paint to really show.

Kind of ironic I think my phone takes better pictures than my gf's camera when i use it. I tried taking pictures of my u-joint caps and they all came out blurry every time, my phone ones were perfect lol.

Me too lol. That's actually the City's maintenance shop, I'm just fortunate enough I can use it anytime I need to. My truck still get's to sleep outside

My phone does great when there is plenty of light but try to use it in low light and it likes to blur. I just can't justify the money it would take to buy a good camera. My sister does photography so when she shoots the wedding next year, I'm going to con her into taking pics of the truck.

My leds for the cab lights showed up today. Picked them up from superbrightleds. They are 5 led in amber, and will be needed after the trucks trip to the body shop.



Out with the old....


In with the new...


These also showed up today. Going to pick up new reverse sockets this weekend. hopefully I'll have installed pics soon.


I'll be picking up the reflexxion 2" cowl hood and dropping the truck off at the body shop monday.

What brand are the tailights? How does the quality appear?

I bet those leds will be great.

I'd have to check the box but I bought them from 1aauto. I held them next to a 2012 and they look identical. The quality seems good, however time will tell.

I'm very happy with them and they really update the rear of the truck.

Very addictive. I'm doing my best not to go overboard with this one like I have others.

Can you snap a comparison picture of amber leds vs the stock bulbs in the marker lights?
