Got the new Denali tail lights installed, it took about 20 minutes just 4 regular screws and un plugging from underneath the bumper. It did start pouring as i was starting to do it so i moved to an awning across the street from my apartment. Ill post more pictures from the side, and from the back without the lights on. I like em, trying to get rid of everything thats not black except the rims and I think thats the last major item.
Before the change and the rain.
New tail lights and my emergency awning lol

I know for the most part people are against these, but I have a friend that has some similar that are also CCFL and they're not dull like you see on most of these, so i decided to order some of the CCFL projector headlights. They should be here in the next couple of days and ill install them. I would like to retrofit the regular ones. Which maybe ill do at a later time but I'm currently in college and wouldn't have the time to do all the work myself.
But heres a picture of them.

ehhhh i can't justify $550 spending just randomly. The other reason i got those particular ones is because i wanted to get rid of the orange reflector. and i like how everything on them is black.

Went to the shop yesterday to get a quote for a brush guard for my truck. will be leaving before christmas so ill be getting them a little early. Got a hook up on a Aurora 30 inch light bar to be mounted on the brush guard for $150. In the future ill be buying a 50 inch for $300. on light bars alone ill be saving around $1000 so I'm stoked about that. Ill post some pictures when i get the light in and when i get them installed.

Just to post a couple things that Ive previously mentioned but never posted.
Heres my double din JVC head unit. Its A non navigation unit, but has an app to stream my iPhone nav to the screen so its useful in long trips. Although i don't ever travel anywhere I don't already know where Im going.
This is a USB port I had installed to the cigarette lighter for iPhone chargers. You can also see the Bass control knob that controls the gain level of my amp. I have the gain on my amp set to about half, and the knob allows me to turn it from no bass to the setting on the amp and anything in between. Cool feature when listening to different genres.
Mileage on the truck today. She's growing up fast :'(
Here are the infamous headlights, The halos are brighter than they appear in the picture. They're very visible in the day time and at night too obviously. However, the low beams are as previously advertised on the site and are awful. I use the high beams and no one on the road can tell the difference. I think I'm going to do the conversion on the stock headlights and put oracle halos in them when I get done with the stuff I'm buying currently, and try to paint the reflectors and stuff to my liking. but for currently these will do.
Heres the trimming i had to do to fit the 34 inch Toyo ATs on there. Ive had no issues with the front bumper flexing our anything like that.

here are the pictures of the roof rack pads, brush guard, and light bar. Really happy with the whole set up.
Heres the light output at night of the light bar the picture doesn't do justice cause it feels like day time with it on haha.
The tail light guards will be in tomorrow and ill put them in myself, Cosmetically, this is one one the last major changes. I've decided not to add rims, and also decided to take apart my stock headlights paint them completely black, and putting white oracle SMD halos, in the headlights and fogs, with LED white bulbs. then ill don't know what to with my life haha

1 new addition to the truck, and couple addition to my plans.
I added a truxtech pod wired into the reverse lights next to the trailer hitch, nice addition since i have the 5% tint to light up behind me. Will get a picture tonight.
New plans include, getting rid of the junk headlights I bought. should've listened to everyone on here. painting the housing on my stock ones and putting them back in whenever I get back home, then when I get the money put some retros in them.
Also going to buy 2 more pods and use them as fog lights. Ive seen it done on raptors and trucks and judging from the reverse light I installed I don't think it'll blind other drivers, the pods will cost around $100 so not much more expensive than LEDs and cheaper than most HID kits.
