I have had the whole truck on these, no worries.

They are small, like 1.25 OD.

Aesthetically, I am pleased.

Functionally they beat the heck out of buying 40 dollar tail lights.

From the inside? unless you're suppose to pop the entire cover off then I would think you'd have to remove the ol bumper off.

Btw, Cheese... Damn looks mighty fine

Thanks.

The housing can jiggle out and then you swap the lights.

Spray painted functional additions are not BLING. Neither is sliding the side of the truck along a rock ending with the termination of a tail light.

It was built in it's first iteration by Rockware in the summer of 2003.

In the fall of 2004, the carrier got hammered so January of 2005 brought carrier removal and tail light/quarter panel protection.

A well done piece that is now sufficiently refined.

WOW!!!! Is that your old suspension setup? The rear flex is crazy, but I don't see your coilovers. If that is the old setup, I can't wait to see the new stuff in action.

Thanks.

Travel should be a little more, but most importantly no panhard rod.

The rear of those trucks works well if you put a little time and money into them.

Very Nice, as usual.

Where did you put you spare, inside?

With 33's, the spare rode inside using the seatbelt in the rear passenger seat.

With 37's, it will ride on the trailer of whoever else I wheel with.
