Ok so I guess this is a build because I. am sure I well be continuously be doing stuff to this over the years.

So I bought this about a month ago with 163k on it. It was in very good shape on the interior. The except has a few small dents and some scratches on the hood and a few other places in the truck.
After I bought it I took it out to my mechanic and he said that it needed brakes and shocks and tires. So I got new michelins our on the stock rims. Then got new premium rotors and pads from Advanced Auto Parts and new shocks all the way around.

I must say that it rides like a dream now. Then I had the windows tinted 20% all the way around and 55% on the front windshield. Looks great. The recovery then I did the led interior upgrade. And changed the led running lights last week.

Then yesterday I got low beam led light bulbs. The things look really good. And last for the week and so far is I ordered the pioneer 2700bu and all the modules except the back up camera I think I'll get that later. An extra 175 dollars on top of the 450 isn't in the books right now with the with my 10 month twin girls 1st birthday coming up.

Which black projection and bumpers lights are those? Or is that photo shop?
Are those black housing or smoke lenses? It looks great man but I got twin 10 month old girls as close as I'm gonna get to that is different 17 inch wheels lol.

So this is a shot of the led low beams from last night. It's not aimed exactly right yet but a few more tweeks.

Those look great! Thanks for the pic. Which ones did you go with? I'm pretty much settled on the black depo projectors with clear lens, but haven't found a decent black or smoke LED bumper light set.

as of this second I'm happy but haven't really gotten into yet. Everything sounds much better and I should be able to break it and the new lights in this weekend as we are heading 3 hours up to the mountains.

So that means your hi and low beams are both in your top light and that everything else is in the bottom? Correct. How do you like this versus the top and bottom lights. And I assume the projectors will allow the led bulbs to be used with these?

Yea I don't like halos either. They were cool when they first came out but after like a year and seeing more and more cars have them I just unhooked the halo part.
