And man i hate MI winters...all the salt must have collected between the bumper and the fender there on the corner...you can see a little paint chipping off as i took the bumper off there on the pass corner...gotta take care of that ASAP...man was i pissed...two fo the bolts snapped off too...had to heat them up and vice grip them out...

anyways...here is a little video of the turn signal switch backs...

this is using the hazards...i have to use the resistors to prevent the hyperflash when using turns... need to get the wiring schematics out to see which one of the three wires in the signal pigtail is for turn signal itself.

These are turning out great buddy

Question.... Why is this thread still labeled as such, and why is still in the intorduction section.

Should be renamed something like Smokymance Denali Build and moved over to the right place.

Thanks guys. And yes. It needs to be updated if that's even possible. One cool thing tho is that I started this thread before I even bought my truck. So the whole progress is here but a rename might be needed.

Title works for me.

Id be done by now but I'm in the process of touching side up a bit on that lil paint pealing spot.

If it is all done up soon I'll be sealing them up tonight.
