Thanks man... I love em also. When i had them put in... also did HIDs so light output is amazing...

Yes they adjust just like factory... although they didnt need any adjusting when installed.

I think that's a common area for rust. I see a lot with rust in that same area.

Well i just dropped her off at the custom shop that I use for all my rides.

Royal Customs will be giving the truck some much needed attention.

Recently, someone decided to see if my wheel was really white or not and pulled off a chunk of the liquid vinyl.

So to keep that from happening again, I am havimg the shop grind the chrome down, and paint the wheels white diamond pearl to color match the truck.

Also gonna paint my rear bumper after fixing it, since I mis judged my trailer one day.

What started this list of fixes is I found rust starting on the driver side rear door, and the rocker below it, so they will fix that as well.

They will also be cutting the part of the frame for the free travel mod...

As well as trying to adjust the shorter sensor rods (make em a hair longer) to trick the truck into putting a bit more air in the rear bags to help when towing. If thats not enough, I will have them add helper bags.

The passenger side front window motor, took a dump, so that will be fixed as well...

A few other small mods, and she should be fresh again.

Oh yeahx have new tires to replace the dry rotting 22s that are on there...

Cant wait to have her back all good again.

So not a big "mod," but to me its the little things.

Most of u who know me, know Im the POPO. So, a little "blue line" mods.

Had the faded caddy flag covered in blue glow in the dark vinyl... then some blue line Punisher decals over top...

So... i know I have not been around for a while, while on xmas vacation from work, I learned I was about to have a fight with colon cancer... 2 surguries and one emergency 7 day stay after a perforation of my intestines, Im living in daily fear of it happening again and putting me in the hospital or worse..

So here I am living, day by day...

The pic is me b4 and during my last stay in the hospital... lost 50 lbs fast...
