i like to think so!
added a step i made at work to the hitch, also some extra 55w work lights to the rear which i already had. i plan on going with some slimmer lights later on but these will work for now. really helps with backing up.
ran her down to the car wash today and also filled her up with gas. shes trucking right along!

The lights look good. I have a driving light mounted on the bottom of my licence plate for added visibility and it helps a lot. My light is higher due to the plate's location on the rear door.
The step looks good also but I wonder about it's usefulness. Or did you make it for eye candy?

no blood yet lol yeah there was no real point to making it...picked up some scrap and welded it together real quick. it will actually be much more useful on my f-250 but i figure its a good bumper protector seeing as how its about that season to get rearended haha

that i did...it was all getting thrown away anyhow so why not right?
pics w/the lights on. also added a front plate holder, the truck never came with a front plate holder so the company that had it before me built a little mount out of some scrap. well i decided i needed something alittle more sturdy to hold the plate to the mount.
also hauled my grandparents generator back up to there house after a oil change, plug change, fresh gas and some stabilizer
the moon is beautiful tonight!

i got my new smoked chrome LED taillights in the mail today, they go great with my FX4 stickers i think!
well then i headed out to the valley. wanted a drive and visit some friends. so i started out getting off at the old glenn highway and going out to kinik river. played out there for a bit and had alot of fun! ripped my front licn plate off too haha
this was on the old glenn, notice the sea level
then i got out on the silty sandy/rocky mess. had it in 4low and 2nd gear seemed to work well. it was very soft in a few spots. also had to make a 6" water crossing but did not stop because i was worried i'd sink.

GPS showing me "in" the river
then headed up to hatchers pass and found snow...alot of it!
