The cab lights that were on it were junk, that were cracked and leaking...they are in the trash, sorry man!

Braydon you need to paint those headlights.

Good thinking...I'll add that to the list

Trans is fine right now, it will hold what I'm putting out plus a tuner. (everything is upgraded except the input shaft)

Turbo and injectors are LONG way downt the road, if I ever do them. Right now with my job, I going off what I can afford. If I get this SP job, then purformance will be my #1...

Plus, its already faster than the Hemi, so I'm happy. lol

Got my maglight mounted this morning. Easy to get to, and isn't in the way. Its just a 2D, but I dont plan on beating anything with my flashlight!
