Designing a new setup for the climate control lighting to change it blue. I did do the mirror adjustment switch, it is very dim and I think that it comes a little dim like that from the factory. I also did the fog light and cargo light and those look great. Have been super busy with the holidays and work so progress is slow. Keeping my pockets full right now waiting until February and after paying my ticket until I buy more parts. Anyways here are some pics of my work


Mirror switch is dim, I think from the factory it actually comes like that but I may get a new switch from the junkyard and try to redo it.

Just in case nobody had a chance to see it I made a thread on the suspension subforum asking about what suspension set up I should go with. This is just really a daily and won't see the track all that much. I am looking to hook better and have an increased ride quality though. So far I was looking at coilover conversion for the front, caltracs and a rear sway bar in the rear. On my other thread I was also suggested to relocate the shocks which I would do with Atomic's brackets. Anyone have any input?

Here is the thread https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...-setup-558133/

Anyone have any opinions on these headlights? I’m worried about the lines in the front might make it look bad. Might grab a set of these to replace the Halos after I do my HD swap

I got a set of that style headlight years ago for the clean look but the beam pattern was awful so I did a projector retrofit in them. If you are using an upgraded bulb, may want to still with a stock frosted lens. I do like the look of the clear lenses though.

I was thinking doing white LEDs in every hole LED Highs and Lows and white DRLs and Turn Signals.

Think it would be pretty badass

If you don't have 8 lugs, declads are the best

If you have 8 lugs and you don't rock PYO's, don't @me
