Congratulations Justin! Which manner of big truck? Got any pics?

Good evening. Our driveway got torn up today in preparation for a new one...but either I can't park on it or i have to put a pan under it when i park because my truck leaks a quarter sized drop when i shut it off for some reason

Andy XDP was fun, some really good looking trucks in the parking lot and few trucks put out some nice numbers on the dyno (s). Pig roast was great as well

I love putting lights on my truck, but it takes forever to think of a place that wont look ridiculous, but i finally found a few places so now i am ordering some leds. I also ordered something big last night, im excited

Yes they are nice.
I put two 39" strips under the chrome on the front bumper on the plastic.
You can not see them till they are on.
I put on the yellow. I also got the amber but they were a little to orange for my liking.
If you want to I will sell them to you.
I will get a pic in the AM.

These work great, this is what I use for my license plate lights. With no rear bumper I have the plate attached to the back of the bed floor and one of these three light strips stuck on the bottom of the tailgate

Looks nice Justin. Can you share the details? Year? Transmission? Engine? Miles?

What will you be hauling? Will you lease onto someone or get your own authority? Regional, local, or OTR?

I drove trucks for a few years and badly miss it some days.

Thanks Miles.
These from superbright LD were only $25 each for 39"
They have good 3m tape to hold them on.
