Ebay $121. No power, as my truck doesn't have any, and I honestly figured I'd never get around to building a harness and everything else that goes with power mirrors. I would like to add a running light in the mirrors at some point though. Seem very well made but I did have to cut a very small plastic nub off the back. Just took my nips and cut it right off. No big deal.

I finished installing my clearance lights and added a high idle circuit to one of the upfitter switches.

I got my water pump replaced today. Plan to install thermostat and passenger head fuel line tomorrow, load the truck up with some ELC, and be good for another 365k mi.

I got around to installing my Carli 2.5 leveling kit and track bar on Saturday.. I sadly didn't get any install shots but with average hand tools and a good impact it was a 4/10 difficulty.

I never realized how much that cheap rough country 2" front block kit was a death trap the whole time!

After the alignment tomorrow I will take a few pics, Well worth the money!

Here are some before and afters of what I did to my daily driver. Bought this '03 for 1000 bucks with a couple bad injectors and then fixed it all up and painted it. Added a few accessories and been driving it for a a few weeks now. Running and driving great. Total investment including the purchase of the truck to how it sits right now is 3 grand.

always considered a chrome headache rack on my truck, but the black one i found on craigslist for i think i paid less than 75 bux a year ago, couldn't pass up the deal so i went with it. looks great on the white paint! they def serve their purpose and more. they look great (IMO), protect rear glass, and mine (mine is a bit taller than yours) is GREAT for leaning long pieces of wood, pipe, ladders, anything really, against it, that you'd otherwise lean against the cab, so it protects the top of your cab, and also gives me something to strap said items down to securely.

i do like how your rack mounts better than how mine does, mine screws to the bed rails, and it extends almost the depth of your tool box. doesn't look bad, but without a toolbox installed, it doesn't get hidden very well, but oh well i've grown used to it. here's mine.

Your headache rack looks good too probably more functional then mine is.
