Update on the driveshaft, the ear on the yoke that connects to the u joint broke in half so I'm going to probably be getting a new yoke and heavy duty U joints. My mechanic said it was most likely caused by running 35's on a weak or worn out stock driveline so hopefully this will last a while. Good news is I planned to have the truck in the shop this week anyways for engine work so they'll just keep it a little longer. New underdrive pulley, volant air intake, all front end gaskets, and new driveshaft components so hopefully it all works out.

FINALLY got time to install my light bars. After hours of cutting, grinding, drilling, test fitting and 2 runs to the local hardware store it all worked out great. Did it all with absolutely zero help.... from anyone... in any way......... LOL ok that's a lie [emoji23], big thanks to the demon for helping me and also johnnymac2k6 for finding me these bars. Definitely need to adjust the angles on them but I'll worry about that tomorrow.

Sanded and sprayed my new tails (old ones both had cracks.) Decided to spray over the clear reverse section this time around since I'll be using LED bulbs. Give em a few days then clear em and wet sand, then polish em up

Nice! did you just use some round stock to fill the gaps?

I do like my hood, its alot straighter than my fenders were. lol but yeah, had i not found it on sale for $400, i probably would have held out.

Exactly yes. But the best I could find (without having to order online and wait for shipping) was 6mm I.D. and I needed 8mm so had to cut em and drill em out making sure my bore was straight. Then my anti theft caps were for hex head bolts and mine aren't so I had to drill those out. Then that messed with my measurements for bolts so had to get new bolts..... it fought me the whole time lol

haha, yeah i had mine on and off a few times to get them right. They came with hardware for a roll bar mount...so i had to get creative also.
Anti theft caps?lol if anyone is dumb enough to steal my ebay lights, i'll shake their hand. As they will immediately become the $1500 rigid lights the second they are listed on my insurance claim.
