Sorry about the crappy quality. It was with my iPhone again. I'll try to get some pics with the real camera soon.

It's been awhile guys. I ordered lots of LEDs from Superbright this past week. They arrived yesterday and I got them in.

Here are some pictures:

4x4 OFF:

4x4 ON:

.

Some of the colors are distorted, but you guys get the idea. Over all I am very pleased with the lights. My only wish is that the 4x4 indicator and headlight switch were brighter. I would advise a WLED 5x for the 4x4 and a NEO4 HP for the switch.

I am currently trying to trouble shoot a pesky SES light, and I can forsee it sucking several hundred dollars out of my bank account. Regardless, the night mods will include an upgraded head unit, more bedliner, and a cam. All of this should be before the beginning of the year.

What are your thoughts?

If you're looking for another mod to do, I made a custom shifter beings there's no aftermarket ones. Down side is it requires a bit of sawing threw the old handle and splitting it to get it off. Then you gotta make a sleeve to go over the stick with a threaded hole in it then put a piece of all thread in it and 2 stop nuts. I used 3/8 16 all thread and a Hurst T handle shifter until I made myself a custom one a few weeks later. With access to the shop I used to work at, I done it all in a hour or two from start to finish.

And my grenade I made a press in sleeve and put a set screw in.

I'll take some more tomorrow but the sleeve is about 3 inches long and is a press fit. I don't remember the inside diameter so if you make one or have one made measure the smallest part of the stick you can at the top and that should be close.
