A deer has sped up my front end work..

Sweet sweet. No I didn't. I was on my way to work at 5something in the morning when I hit it. State patrol said to just leave it there, that they didn't have anyone to come take care of it, and I was like 'oh I'm sure I can find someone at work willing to clock out to go pick it up', but no one wanted to. Came home around 5-6ish and it was gone. So not sure what exactly happened to it, but I'm guessing one of my crazy neighbors took it home lol

Last night I spent roughly 5 ish hours wiring in the daytime runners into the fogs on the new headlights. Ill snap a few pictures tonight, but the main reason it took so long was me getting sidetracked with exhaust work. See, I had a tip I wanted to put on, but needed just a little bit of pipe for it. Then I wound up throwing multiple pieces of pipe together and.. Well let's just say, good thing it's hidden underneath the truck. Haha

Bumper now soldered together(pics coming soon), still need to give her a quick sand and paint. But I just remembered that I am going to need to get new tail lights soon, and just need some clarification on whether there I need to be looking for my particular truck(2000 sport, aka the most pain in the ass woman to shop for) or are they all the same size/wiring?

Any 2G Ram taillight will work for your application.

Awesome awesome. Now to pick out what I want.. stock or..

So..here we are. Since I couldn't get those bolts off and didn't have the ambition to heat them up, I soldered the outside. Filled in holes with epoxy, you'll have no idea once it's painted haha

And you get a sexy peep shot of those shoes(;

Ill snag a quick pic of my new taillights once I head back outside, but just a question out of pure curiosity-what mpg are you guys hitting? This is the 5.9, and she's got 202k, and its averaging out around 12 since I changed the oil a few weeks ago. its so low simply because I only have 8 miles to drive to work, but just curious what you guys are hitting?

As close as I'm going to get because shower+cold does not work. Also, what's your opinion on taking the stainless off the bottom&blacking out the bottom? I think it'd look slick with the black taillights and black grill. (plus the stainless is all beat up and peeling back on the other side.)

 

[mitchbowers]

Here we go. Better pics. The new taillights, the new 3rd brake light and my little redneck addition! Found those on the side of the road, they're never NOT helpful. Haha

 

[mitchbowers]

Has anyone threw some led lights into these holes? Just curious, I think it'd be so awesome. I mean, they're just asking to fit in there, if ya ask me
