If anybody is on the fence about this mod I can vouch for super bright LED's I ordered my dome lights from them and everything arrived super quickly and I haven't had any problems. My friend has their headlights and they're bright. Would recommend.

I will second!! Very quick shipping even to Canada. And they look very well made.

Start with 320, ten 600, then 800 then 1000, then 2000, then i even go to 3000 and finish with 5000, and then hit with the polisher, makes em crystal clear, these were yellow, scratched and beat up when i got them

great scott those look amazing. I'm going to have to do that to mine soon but not as drastic since they aren't yellow, just scratched to hell. My subaru needs this treatment too so it's good to know overkill looks this amazing.

i will vouch for both of these posts. All my dome lights are from them and back up light and great communication with the customer, reasonable shipping price, and well packaged.

Having that open gap w/o the clutch fan may make the illusion worse

There are some open box clearance. Save a bit of $$

:bawl: But my wallet is near empty. :bawl:

Gotta make a few $s with my 3rd gen to pay for the mods and to put the money back in the bank that I used to get it. Would like to make those $s with the 3rd gen today. :happy107:

The good news is...... I decided to keep my truck! :favorites13: So, to celebrate i have a few things planned. I ordered new headlight housings today and they should come monday. (possible custom halos on my stocks if i get around to it) And if everything goes as planned sometime over the weekend or next week i go pick up a new roll pan and drop it off to get paint. Should be fun

That is good news. I'm rediscovering my liking of older trucks.:)

Sorry, missed your posting. The engine is in it's stock position. As mentioned having the cowl removed makes it look like it is sitting back some, plus it has a OCP manifold which changes the look some. The TB is actually pointing straight up..

sand and polish, it goes a long way :buffer:

done it many times, good as new and much cheaper

I'll post some pics later tonight if I remember. If you don't mind, can you shoot me a PM with a quick run-down on how to redo the outside of them? Also, any way to remove the big orange strip from OEM headlights?

Breaking in the new 4.56 gear set. :happy107:

Nice! Hope to install at least 4.10's in the future, if not 4.56s
