How you like those headlights? Thinking about putting some on my truck.

I really like the lights. They gave a little definite line on top but not as great if it was a true hid. What sucks about the lights is the install and alignment. You have to pull the plastic shroud off the top of the grill, then pull the grill before you get to the lights. Them when you install the lights, you have to adjust, put them in and see where your at, pull the out and readjust. It took me a good 3 hours to do the install and the adjustment. They are nice and look just as good as Recon's

Here is a new pic of my light bar with KC Daylighters. I just received my PA 3" body lift and fender well covers.

I love that setup. I like how the bar is pretty low profile. Probably doesn't add too much weight to the truck and looks great.

Yeah, I was going to do a bumper replacement but the old lady wasn't happy about it.

It is the nfab light bar. It doesn't add to much weight. After I do the body lift, I'm going to sand the front and rear bumper and paint factory paint on them

I like that light bar alot. I can't wait to see your truck with the body lift, that will be pretty sweet. What tire size are you running now and any plans of upsizing after the body lift is put on?

I'm running 35's. Once they wear out, ill change to 37's but I will switch out the gears before that happens in 40k miles.

Update for you guys, I received 180 tstat, 87mm throttle body, and my catch can will be in on Friday.

Thanks bud. I just pit in the new tb in 24 hour fitness parking lot after a workout. Talk about easy. 15-20 minutes top. I can tell a little difference in throttle response. It looks like I'm getting a little better mpg.

What to do next headers or bilsteins. My current lift is Fabtech stage 2, with only 5k miles on it.

That's awesome, and yea that has to be a really easy install if you did it in the gym parking lot lol. I'm plasti dipping my badges right now...just waiting the 30 minutes in between coats. Should be done in a few more hours.

Glad to hear you're getting better mpg's too. I figured it was a sure thing that you'd have better throttle response but I'm hoping to see better mileage when I get a new TB in a while down the road.

Chuck, you're going to have the same problem I did a year. I bought my truck in 2011 and tgere wasn't anything available for upgrades on my 2012 until the end of 2012. For example, the diablo trinity tuner wasn't available until a few months ago.

Btw, killer truck

I'm going to do the body lift at the end of the month. I'll post some pics.
