I made something that would work. Never did find the real thing.
There was a wrecker down at the coast that thought they had the set for $20.00 then when he checked they were gone.

I just had my front bumper replaced thanks to my neighbor. The dumbazz backed into me in the winter. It was icy & nasty but the dork didn't even scrape his rear window. No biggie I guess as I got a nice shinny new bumper for nothin'.
Things I would love to do this month but I know won't happen cause I just had to pay the TaxMan....
Install new SPD Y pipe (picked up last month) & new exhaust from Y pipe back (ditch the CAT).
Buy & install new Bushwacker flares.
Buy & install triple pillar pod /w tranny temp, oil pressure & water temp gauges.
Buy & install cab clearance lights /w smoked lenses (this on scares me to do myself, mearsure 10,000 times cut / drill once).
Have the interior steam cleaned.
I know there's more but I've only had 2 cups of coffee & I'm not totally awake yet :-)

Just installed a BD electronic boost builder today. The turbo spools up a little quicker and there was enough of power increase in the low rpm range to be noticeable. Super easy install and I think it was worth it for the price. I was mostly bored and wanted to do something to the truck, and this was quick, relatively cheap and easy. The neighbours came out to see what the hell was going on when I was reving the engine playing with the new black smoke it can blow. Planning on somehow modding my rear bench this weekend to fit a pair of subwoofers that have been laying around my house for a couple years (from my old truck where I took out one of the rear jump seats). I'm thinking about making a bracket to lift it four inches, still need to figure out if it will work out to be solid enough and without getting rid of too much headroom.

Well, I took my horse trailer up to my uncle's shop to sand blast the loading door and discovered a whole lot of rust
Looks like I gotta re-skin the whole door now. Makes me wish I had a shop to do it in

Well, I ordered a 6' x 12' sheet of .100 steal to re skin the door with. I don't even know the price of the sheet yet, but hopefully it doesn't completly break the bank
I will take some before and after pics to help liven up this place
