The wheels look almost the same color as they were, just some metallic in them now instead of flat gray. I thought the color was a bit darker but oh well.

Not a fan of spikes, but I love the painted steel wheels. I think nicely painted stock dually rims look great.

Been slacking on this thing (trying to get the steppy back in driving condition) but splurged on a few dress up items this week.

99-06 tailgate cap.

Not sure how I feel about the tailgate cap. I don't hate it, but I don't know if I like it....definitely something I haven't seen before.

Seems like the little bit of spoiler might be beneficial with a tonneau cover.

I saw it on reg 1500s an liked it. It definitely going to take some getting used to. Once I get it lowered I think it'll fit the look better But I drilled the holes so I guess it's staying...

I cant help it, they make me giggle like a little kid. They are epoxied to the black covers so they are staying too lol. Probably something else that will flow better when it's dropped.

Figured out why my turn/reverse light fuse was blowing finally....

Got that replaced but can't plug it in because the rest of it is still in the switch I guess. It's ready for replacement trans at least. It's so far up in there an hard to see I'm not going to bother fighting what's left of it.

Then put in a new 7/4 way plug with the uscar connection. Got to get some larger connectors then tidy it all up. It used to have an issue when pulling a trailer an the brakes staying slightly on. I had thought it was a bad 7 way plug because of the turn signal issues an that or just a bad brake controller. Found a worn place in the brake controller wire at the back so cut that out an fixed it up too along with shortening them all up so they tuck nicely.

Once I get my new (to me) brake controller installed she'll be ready for trailer duty again!

Sigh, went to drive it today to get some parts for the boys stepper. Pulled out of the neighborhood, went to shift to third an something popped, my hand bounced off the dash (while still holding the shifter) an that was all she wrote. NV4500s have long throws already but now this one is super long now.

Was able to get it back into second an get it home. Seems I can get fourth too but nothing for first, third or fifth.

Guess the replacement install just got accelerated up the to do list.....

Always gotta be some dam thing doesn't it?!

Unfortunately that's how it goes with old trucks, I guess...
