Truck is looking good.

Thanks! Gotta say your 06’ is sick. I love how dark paint match front ends makes the headlights pop.

Hey thanks man. I look back at the beginning and see how much influence this forum had in getting the truck the way it looks today.

I love driving around in it for sure.

Black Friday provided me with some new tools, massive improvement for me.
No more wood blocks and finally a sturdy jack stand setup with a floor jack that can actually pick up one side at a time, versus only being able to pick up one corner at a time.

Also go a new shop stool on casters and a die grinder. Overall nothing too special but some very important pieces that should make life easier.

Used the new jacks to rotate tires. Also raised the truck up to 43” fenders and set the wheels out to the sides to see what 7-9” lift and 14wides might look like haha.

I say go for it. Add the HD front too. Would look beast.

Looks like you moved to a different house.

Yeah we moved here a little over a year ago. The place we were renting decided to sell, so we had to move and we decided to buy instead of renting again. It’s definitely one reason the truck hasn’t changed much in the past year or so.

And I think I have the new setup pinned down, it’s gonna take around 6 months to get all the pieces together. Gonna redo steering with Moog, fix oil pan gasket leak, value cover leak, both leaks are small but annoying, and put the lift on all at once. Then new wheels and tires followed by headlights/tails/HD front end/ and finally new paint. Just gonna take it slow and make sure it’s done right.

Got 4 of their pre-wired pods, and a couple different amber push through LEDs for my headlights.

Probably going to get the amber LEDs put in tonight. I know I am going to use 2 of the pods under the hood since I lost my factory under hood light. Not sure what I will do with the other 2, maybe do the lift gate mod or I could put them behind the grille. Options options.....

I used the same concept for both under the hood and lift gate. So happy I did , one of my favorite light mods...

Haha hints the “afraid of the dark” tag, and honestly I love light, all the bulbs in my house are hand picked temps for the area they are in lol.

Are those the same led pods you ordered? I remember seeing how bright your liftgate was when I looked through the thread.
