    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.

    I had just put tow mirrors on my truck last night and they came out sweet. It was a pain in the butt to install them because the power mirror harness was down in the door panel and nearly impossible to get more slack in the wires. But once I got it all figured out it was pretty simple. The only...

    Next came a radio and door speakers. The radio I actually installed the same day as the tints were put on and the speakers were done 3 days later because the door panel had to be taken off and I didn't want to risk messing up the tint by hitting it with the panel. First a picture of the factory...

    This week was full of changes and upgrades and I was equally excited about every single one of them. I had thought about doing most of these things for the longest time now so why not do it right. First up was installing a .50 cal bullet antenna which is nothing big or expensive but looks great...

    I finally took my truck off-road for its first time ever!!! Never been once in its 20 years. I dont like to beat on the truck so it wasn't a hard trail by any means but still fun and with great scenery. She got to stretch her legs a bit too. And quite possibly the dirtiest she's ever been. After...

    Two weeks ago I decided to take off the chrome wheel well trim and the mudflaps. I was ready to make the truck have a more streamlined look. And of course it snows some more after having almost a week of Temps in the 50's.

    Nothing was done to the truck this winter once it started snowing. There was lots of hauling stone And also a lot of drifting at the local park we tore this place up the night before, but don't worry it's just a parking lot. Also some snow driving too Once the snow stopped I purchased and...

    I had been having a problem with fogging headlights in this truck for years. No matter how many times they were completely dried out the moisture would come right back so it became time to get some crystal housings from Rock Auto and GoRecon Xenon bulbs. There is a slight difference at night in...

    I went a while without doing any modifications but then decided it was time for some more little things. I got a GoRecon 3rd brake light This product is super high quality and looks great in my opinion. It is a little pricy but I think looks fantastic and also has LED cargo lights which are a...

    The next step I made was buying Anzo LED tail lights and parking lights along with LED dome lights from LMC truck The next thing I did was tinting the corner lights in the grille. In my opinion this makes a huge difference in the way the truck looks from the front. The orange doesn't stand...
