Got hit by the mod bug again!

OK, so I sold my dually the other day. I knew I was gonna be down to just one truck again. My baby of course. So the last couple days I have been adding new mods, updating Black Beauty and making her a priority again instead of keeping her safe and locked away in the garage. Only to come out when we towed the boat to far away lakes. Anyway, as U all know I did the manual TC lock (wow kinda struggled with that one dunno why either) anyway, duel shock suspension in the front and six brand new RS5000's under her. A new steering stabilizer. Rear driving lights for night trailering of the boat or (for tailgaters) And now 11 red LED rocker switches, with interior LED kit by underbody LED. New stereo with red backlight, and new speakers. coming this week, dualling out my magnaflow exhaust, deleting the muffler, FRx from RiffRaff diesel. fuel pressure gauge. KC lites and front mounting bar. etc. But I have added a new gallery of the interior. Check it out. Me likey









More pics in gallery

Looks like your busy, pretty wild looking lights. Only seen those in big OTR trucks, keep the mods going if your wallet allows..

So far I havebeen able to do all the modding myself (with help from the coolest guys around on FTE) So that has helped in the pocket book region. Again a big thumbs up to all the help and knowledge on here!!!!

Oh darn it. You beat me to the interior lighting.
I've had the red led illumination for a few months installed, just not hooked up to power.
At least I know it looks awesome now.
I got to post up pics of my blue dash illumination. That looks sweet at night but hard on eyes for long hauls. I may swap to red like my past truck. That's easier on eyes for some reason.

Thats gotta look sweet. I should retrofit my jetboat with leds now, you have me pondering what color I shoudl do. Its a 16.5' with a berleley jetdrive, powered by 460 ford, soon to be TT460 if i have my way.

I really like my blue dash illumination, but Im going to try the red next just to see if its actually easier on the eyes. Also with LED illumination I have a few spotty places that are not quite bright enough, with regular colored bulbs it should be better.

Red does not work well with water. If you are gonna do under the water line lighting. Blue, green, super white. Green in the fresh water lakes is by far te brightest. Here is one pice after I installed on intirior kit. i don't have any under water or other pics yet
