the led strip doesnt stick all that well by itself so i bought a roll of 3M double sided mounting tape which did the job

 

Looks sweet, I had the same issue and JB welded the ends of my strips

I replaced my crappy little 6 gauge battery cable with 2/0. Also got a new yellow top for the ol girl and made a battery hold down for it.

 

Half way through my spring hanger flip. Finish it up tomorrow mid morning and post some pictures.

 

took me almost 2 days (not good with electrical) but finally got my headlight relays wired. i would have been much better off ordering the harness from JBG Heavy Duty Headlight Harness . dont have a before/after picture but my lights are not necessarily brighter i would say they are whiter, where before they were yellow.

about 6000 ft of electrical tape and about a million dollars in copper wire and spade connectors this is what i have to show for it

Started it up and let it idle for a little bit. Getting it ready for use tomorrow as I've got yard work to do.

 

Today I polished out the mirrors, front bumper, and started on the wheels. Wet sanding and mothers mag polish does wonders on old mag slots!

Oh and I got some new 35" rubber for the truck! In all, a productive day for aesthetics.

 

i plasma cut out half the bed floor in prep for not having a plain steel floor where there should be wood.

Got any more pictures of your new tires? Hoping it will help me make a decision. Maybe some profile shots. I have a 6-7" lift and those same slot wheels. I'm really on the fence to get new 35" BFG's or go with the 37" military humvee takeoffs. Those are pretty much the only tires I have found to fit the 16.5" wheels. I bought the Flitz to polish mine but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Sorry, think I posted this on your page also.

 

Well finished with the spring hanger flip earlier this morning, and decided I better drop the front end some too. Just finished about a half hour ago. Need to get some gas in her and take a couple more pictures.
