I'm jealous of that Weathertech, you got a great deal.

The floor mats? Those are husky liners.

The tool box? It's a Weatherguard.

Wow. Been awhile since I've updated this. Gonna pull some pics off the old phone soon and do an update. Not much is new yet. Did a windshield brow tint strip, have a new HD headlight harness on order, and pulled off the banner to prepare for something awesome.

Time for another update finally.

My starter literally shiit itself. I hit remote start one morning and it turned over once and sparks hit the floor. After running outside in 30 degree weather in a T-shirt and boxers to ensure nothing was in flames I properly dressed myself and checked everything over closer. Seems the small white wire going to the solenoid fried. Insulation was cooked and bare strands were all that was left. I bought a brand new NAPA starter and replaced the burned section of wire. She starts like a dream now.

Also got my HIDs and new wiring harness installed. I'm very pleased so far. I found my storage box that I intended to sell but after getting the new harness roughly routed I'm gonna end up using that box and tossing the one I have. I put a ton of holes in it and they're all very poorly located and executed. It bothers me seeing a hacked up looking part even though nobody ever pays attention to stuff like that.

The cause of all my headlight woes. Don't buy cheap harnesses. Build it yourself or spend good money. My truck never saw any exceptionally hard soaking or anything. All the plugs were well tucked away from any road salt or direct rain and road spray. The relay plugs were behind the fan shroud. They never got wet. This is also what damn near burned my truck to the ground.

this is the new harness. Bought from Jabin from the 67-72 forum. Wiring is all larger gauge. Plugs are factory style. Not cheap universal stuff. Relays are remote gang mount style and he built it so I can mount them inside my dry storage box. Fuse is weather pack type with a mountable cap and located inside the storage box as well. He loomed it and sent new clips to mount the harness on the fan shroud. I drilled a couple new holes paying close attention to not punch my radiator. I'm very impressed and can't wait to finish this one up. It wasn't cheap but I'm happy I spent the money this time.

HIDs are opt7. Bought from eBay. Same brand as the LED bar which I am also very happy with. I went 55watt all the way around 6,000k color temp. They had a small sale which made the purchase a little sweeter. Not sure how I feel about the air box mounting on the passenger side but it's dry there and they are secure instead of being jammed in by the battery like the last set. All came with mounting brackets, extension harnesses and a weather proof bulb lead harness. Coupled with the new front light harness the lights are visibly brighter. I just need to aim the headlights now. They're pointed a tad lower than they should be but I was shooting the tree tops on the first test run with the low beams.

It's been like that for five years. Hasn't given me a single issue. I'm sure it's off a bit from when I pulled the needles too and didn't get them all perfect.

About time you got some work done! LOL! Lighting looks great Brother!!

Yeah it still needs more. My brand new starter stayed activated on my way home last night draining the battery completely as I drove. Pulling the keys did nothing. It was cold, raining like a ***** and windy. The engine cut out, I took the keys out and the starter kept singing. All the way til the battery died. Smoked a brand new starter. No clue how. Thankfully I have today off. Gonna get it exchanged.
