    Just wanted to upload these few photos. This first one I took this morning after the dusting we got. This second one I took from inside my bosses 6.4 power stroke, I love the snap on decal. Last picture is of my beloved Snap-On KRSC326 roll cart I bought a couple months ago. Build quality is...

    Finally got some pics with the light bar. So far so good, its performing flawlessly. There are no leaks and no condensation inside. Which was my main worry of buying a cheap lightbar.

    To be honest I have no idea what the laws in my state are, but in my town the cops are really relaxed on motor vehicle laws and they wont really bother you for anything at all. I just figure that if I get pulled over I can pass it off as a over sized fog light/high beam. I live out in the sticks...

    Took some comparison photos between the headlights last night and theres an obvious night and day difference. The first photo is just my headlights on high beam, but with the 4hi mod: And the second photo is of my headlights on low beam with the 20" LED bar on: Huge difference and makes it so...

    Ive recently just started at the local community college in a General Motors ASEP technical program, and also a job at a local Chevrolet dealer, so I've been learning a lot about cars and trucks, specifically GM's. A couple changes good and bad, have come to my truck recently. The first thing...

    I finally got my corner lights in the mail and got everything mounted onto the truck. Doesn't look too bad with the black LED parking lights. I just need amber LEDs for the corners. I got out to take some pictures today and these are them.

    Thanks bro I appreciate all the likes I get from people here. I try really hard to think my modifications through before doing them. Lots of research, seeing what others are doing and what I like. Everything has to look clean in my book. I try my best to not hack or take any short cuts.

    Got around to fixing my air conditioning today, after having my license for 3 hot summers and no a/c I figured it was time to fix the issue. Kinda.... I charged my system today with a product called A/C Pro. It really worked well. The system was bone dry before I charged it so it took the whole...

    Yesterday on my way to work I ran over something that gave me a big ole hole in my tire and worse a big dent in the bottom of the fender Lets just say I'm not too happy about the dent and could care less about the tires, they're junk. but the truck was 100% dent free except one tiny one on the...

    Bought a brand new aftermarket grille on craigslist, ordered new bowtie and corner lenses to go on it. Should I stick with my black led parking lights or go to a clear parking light with a traditional bulb?

    I was raised around this truck and never realized until recently that its pretty rare around these parts. We originally ordered it with this color because it matched our boat at the time.

    Recently took the tow mirrors off. I wanted a more classic sportier look. i also wired the amber led's in. I wired the left led to the left corner light and the right led to the right corner lights that they would blink when i put the turn signals on. They add a nice touch at night.And I sold my...

    I also got these 2 cheap little Amber LEDs that a friend gave me. I just drilled out the license plate holes and they went right in, with a nut on the other side. I'm not sure how I feel about them, and I haven't felt like doing a little wiring to actually hook em up. Barely noticeable during...

    The truck is slowly coming together, on June 20 I got around to getting myself a back rack. I've been getting a lot of complements on the looks and it's already been pretty useful. Really gives the truck another dimension with its appearance it looks awesome. And on the 4th of July I had to do...

    This afternoon I did a little quick paint job on the tow hitch. It's the original factory hitch. Used Rustoleum semi gloss spray and it came out good for a quick job.
