Looking for inspiration...

I've seen some LED lights for the rear of these trucks that look similar to stock on this website that I REALLY like and would love to have as well.

Just sold the canopy for my truck!

Hydro-boost the brakes.

Where in B.C. are you? You're pics kinda look like the High Country.

*edit* Go 'Nucks!

I'm not all that into hockey haha... For a Canadian, it's kind of weird, I know. I live in a city called Fort St. John, it's on the Northwestern edge of B.C.

What do you mean by hydro-boost the brakes?

Go to this thread, 'junkyard brake upgrade ideas?' & the hydro-boost info starts on page 2.

I've been all over this province, but never as far north as where you are. Been about 750 miles north of Williams Lake. You pretty close to the Arctic Circle?

*edit* I have been up there, but it was Peace River. When I was a kid. Northeast B.C.

I don't actually know... I don't think we're THAT close to it. Maybe we are haha. Williams Lake is about a 6-8 hour drive from here. 700ish KMs.

Point A is Fort St. John, Point B is Williams Lake

You & the rest of your family could probably teach about driving in snow!

Did you get to the thread about the hydro-boost?

That was my truck before I sold the canopy. I LOVE it ten times more without the canopy on it, COMPLETELY changed my view on the truck... Also made me realize it's going to have a bit more changed over the course of my ownership of it than I had originally planned. DEFINITELY a 2" Cowl Hood, although probably later rather than sooner. New rims, for sure... I just really have to figure out the offset of mine because I find it to be the perfect stance. New exhaust, new grill with horizontal chrome inserts. Probably a lot of engine mods over time.

Also; keep in mind, I've only ever driven my truck once, so I don't really know what the brakes are like stock. Judging by the PM you sent me, the hydro-boost sounds like an extremely good idea to do, because compared to my dad's '08 F-150 Lariat, my brakes are PATHETIC. I only just turned 16 a couple weeks ago and my truck doesn't have insurance on it until I get a job, so I can't even drive it. I only have my learner's license, so.

This is the reason I need a new grill:

That's the drivers side

That's the passenger side, notice how it sticks out further? The mount on that side is absolutely destroyed, so it will be replaced, there's no fixing it at the stage it's at. I'll probably rig something up to hold the grill back level where it's supposed to be until I have the money for the grill though.

The Peace River is only a 15 minute drive from here haha.

And just because I can... I know when I say I snowmobile and have worked on snowmobile engines, a lot of people down south think I mean we do this:

But in reality, we do this:

Probably going to want to mute all the stupid music in those vids though...

Sadly, this is what under the hood of my sled looks like at the moment...

I can't decide whether to get the normal bulb ones or the LED ones, considering the LED ones are over 100$ extra.

All of these are going to be put on my truck as money and time allows.

I think I'll put HIDs in them, but until I can afford HIDs can the stock bulbs be used in these? I'd assume so, but I'm not sure... Looking for confirmation on that. I won't be driving at night or NEED bright lights until next November, so I'm not worried about light at the moment, so don't say to get the HIDs first if I'm looking for light. I'm not. Just wanna know if these will work with stock bulbs until I have more money.

Also how many of the interior lights are able to be converted to LEDs? I hate the yellow light the stock lighting on this truck gives off, I like a white lighting.

What kind of HIDs would give off a white lighting for the headlights? I know they have that whole 6000k and 12000k and stuff thing going on, could somewhat explain to me what that means? Is that like a temperature? Kelvin or something? Do they have anything to do with the colour they put out?
