I jacked up the drivers side, took off both tires and cleaned the wheel wells and anything metal is black again. Once finished I jacked up the passenger side and repeat so several hours of work for sure. It helps having a great gas pressure washer to get 50%+ of the dirt/grime off before you need to grab rags/towels to wipe down everything you can reach. To me nothing looks better than a truck with black wheel wells. Once I am off the computer I am going to detail spray the truck and head into the big city and grab some grub, the wife is out of town so I am on my own for 3 days. YIKES

This week I traded my '13 1500 in for a new baby hauler. It served me and my family well and will be missed. :(



So sorry to hear that. My crew cab seats all 4 of my kids just fine. I would never trade in for minivan. But maybe for that Durango SRT

So far today....

Swapped tail lights with newer red lens led c bar style.

Finally got DeeZee tailgate assist installed.

Installed led bed lights along my bed rails. I see so many people wire these back to the battery when we have a super convenient 7 pin harness to tap behind the bumper. No cutting factory wires as I have a Curt adapter back there to tap reverse on led tailgate bar. I just spliced the 12v and ground wires and done. Switch mounted in the bed.

Will get some pics later.

Just put some air in the tires... however I had to ruin my valve stem caps to get them off, so I'm currently looking for some new ones!

Drove it to Lowes (twice), pick up some Herculiner and supplies, used it before and was pretty happy with the result. My cheapness just won't let me drop $500 on a spray-in job.

Here is a single photo of my led foglights, my Putco mirror cap, and my RetroShop custom headlight.
Photo is blurry for me (probably TapATalks fault) but they look pretty sweet.

Post up some photos of the RS lights and a list of whats done to them. Im getting ready to do a set of custom quads myself.

No it's not your tapatalk, it's mine. I used to be able to just grab a photo from my tablet and post it, all of a sudden now the sight says they are too large. So I'm trying to use a sight to resize them, but when I post and try to enlarge it, no bueno.

The lights are oem black projectors with mini hid added as well as being clear coated. I didn't want the corners cleared although they do offer that service because my clearance lights are amber and when they are on, it ties the two from lights together. All of the harness for the lights are located inside so it's a plug and play application, not to mention very clean.

Looks killer bro! :favorites13:
We had pretty awesome weather today as well, but with all the snow melting everywhere, it would have been senseless for me to do that. I was dying to though. lol

Thanks. Suppose to get back to normal here. But couldn't resist. Probably never even tell it was washed in a day or 2

Photo update from yesterday....bed light switch mounted on bedrug with velcro tape. I still need to cut a small slot and feed wire thru to tidy it up. Bed light set only $30 on Amazon, great mod! Love the new tails...
