Thats better! Now if only my green led cluster lights would show up! I would like to do my climate controls, and headlight switch too. It just seems like its going to be a pain to do.

Glad you got it figured out! As for doing the backlighting for the panels, I found using small 2 in halos in place of the bulbs to be more efficient. Maybe not as much for green, but red is a really hard color to show through on the panels. Fortunately the halos over power them.

Headlight switch is not a replaceable bulb

^^very true. I ended up knocking the bulb out and shoving the halo wires into the holes for the bulb contacts. The bulb housing is so long that it can't pull out in that tight of a space in the hl switch.

Drove truck to Tennessee today first stopped at Cabelas then to Bass Pro to get some winter fishing gear. Truck hit a 150,000 miles on way down. Saw a 2nd gen at a dealer with 340,000 miles on it today and they wanted $4500 for it. Crazy price if u ask me. I hope mine will last to see that many miles on it one day. How many miles do you guys have on your trucks?

And now i wanna go 5" instead of 3"....Thx :roflsquared:


Shocks arrived today. PRETTY. Prob going in either tomorrow or Friday. Also was out cruising and exploring with my little bro and accidently did some mudding. Road that i thought was wet dirt/gravel in the dark was actually super super soft clay and mud. Not sure how dirty it is but I'll get pics in the morning. Thinking a i need either a rear window banner or windshield banner that says "green thumb" since its green and i don't clean in anymore so it's covered in earth lol

Is there an easy way to tell what ratio an axle has? pick n pull has everything 50% off Friday-Sunday and figured I'd check their axles for better gearing than I have now while I'm there. Not expecting to find anything but you never know
