crappy photos, the passenger side marker light is different than the drivers side. A few of the led's in the passenger side brake/tail light are out. But they are slightly brighter than the photos show. The reverse lights are bright as hell. Oh and the tool box fits.

I'd say you totally made out on this purchase. Looks sweet.

Overall I am happy, just picky on lights and visibility. 100X better than what was on there though.

Awesome, felt like I was watching close encounters there with the lights set up. Looks great, B!

it's aluminum Jerry. I don't think it will take kindly to someone beating and prying on ebrake parts like the oem bumper did. Which didn't last much longer after that I might add.

I got the lic plate on today. I guess the is the mandatory, must use zip ties on your rig somewhere.



Haha only kidding, I do have them on there though obviously, but I spent like $9 bucks on stainless steel hardware. 5 or 6 bolts (1/4-20), fender washers and nyloc nuts. All Stainless. Of course I will only need two.

Got dark and is now snowing. So have not put them on yet.

The old bed is now hacked up into pieces. Half of which is now sitting inside my bed. I tell you what, it's nice not to have to srap anything down on my bed now.

I think I am gonna figure out a way to run a tarp on top though as I do not feel like shoveling out snow from the bed every time we get more than an inch or two.

Oh and a hi-lift mount.

Your pics of the engine bay from 12/09-ish,... what did you use to clean out the bay? It's pretty clean IMHO.

While the motor was out I spray bottled in this stuff:



Left it sit a bit, and then loaded some more of that stuff into a pressure washer. The rest of the engine was cleaned and whatnot during the rebuild.

I see folks power washing at the car wash,... some will put a plastic bag over the rotor. Didn't think that was too wise.
