Bit of an update I will have a Mygig 430N on the way as of today. I think $275 for one out of a brand new truck, cost including shipping via USPS Priority Mail and delivery confirmation is one heckuva deal on one of these units. I'll post some pics after the install!

yea that sounds like a great deal

I'm stoked that someone is making the lights with a clear reflector! *woot*
They look great BTW.

Thanks, yeah I like the clear lens too. It looks much cleaner and blinks white. I actually am leaving the stock signal bulbs in mine.

How did you get one for like $2,000 under retail??

Guy put it for sale on another forum for $275 OBO. I didn't even bother offering less as he's practically giving it away.

Oh and he already shipped it same day I paid. Pretty awesome!

Got the Mygig installed! Absolutely stoked! Though I do wish it had the built in Sirius. No matter I'll bust out my portable unit and reactivate my old subscription. I miss having the portable one anyways and the free 1 year had to be close to getting up on the one on my factory radio.

Found that the Mygig unit does not have Sirius. My mistake as I should've looked at the picture better but no matter. Busted out my old Starmate 4. Mounted it in the little sunglass tray at the top of the radio bezel with some 3M double sided tape. Pulled the cover off the stock satellite radio antenna and with a minor amount of dremel tool work I widened one of the holes in the tray that is for the inserts on the bottom of the little rubber liner that normally sits in it.

After I got that done I ran all my wiring for the power cord and an auxillary cable up through behind the bezel. I suppose I could attempt to hardwire the power for the satellite radio dock into one of the 12v outlets so I wouldn't have to see the power plug thing but when I don't want it out I simply flip down the center console cup holder which I don't use anyways and they easily hide inside of it. I'll post some pics later when I get a chance to take a pic of it. I am pretty proud of myself for a bit of ingenuity.

It was also nice to find that my Starmate 4 is working despite me having not paid for it since I got this truck back in June. I simply quit using it. I figured they would of deactivated it but I'm not going to say anything until they shut it off or call and ask me about it

Alright here's the latest picture with my newly mounted Starmate 4.

Just a couple of new pics.

Bought a set of the 20" Chrome Clads off of another RAM Owner from another forum. Couldn't beat $800 for the set with tires and only 5k miles on them. I do believe that kcbigbadram has actually joined this forum, a big thanks to you if you read this.

Tinted my tails and third brake light with VHT. I think I could've done a bit better but not too bad for a first timer.

I have the grille back in chrome for the time being. I'm hoping to hit it up with some plasti dip again and this time I'm going to try out the Glossifier to give it more of a glossy finish. Just haven't had time lately with trying to get everything planned for my wedding and I haven't been feeling 100% for some weeks. Been getting headaches, and feeling weak and fatigued a lot.

Truck is looking good. Hope you start feeling better

Thanks man. I actually went to the doctor yesterday. They took some blood and the lab results came back pretty quickly. Doc told me that my blood sugar was only slightly elevated (nothing to worry about), and that everything else was good except for my Liver Enzymes which are apparently slightly higher than what they should be.

I am supposed to be getting a referral to see a Gasteroenterologist which will deal with the liver thing, and some other issues I've been having. Hoping it's just nothing or something minor. Just been feeling pretty crappy as of late. I work graveyards but I have for the past 5 years. Haven't ever been this tired, nor have I gotten headaches with the frequency I am now.

I barely sleep working midnights can't sleep during the day. I hope everything turns out fine and it's just stress from a approaching wedding

I hope it's just stress as well. Who knows? I have no trouble sleeping during the day, I have my bedroom windows blacked out so no light gets in. Trick my mind into thinking it's night. I usually get off work around 8am then I watch tv or play games for a couple hours to tire myself out. Go to sleep around 10am, get up between 4pm and 6pm. Eat, hang out for a bit, then take a short nap, get up and go to work at 11:30pm.

That's pretty much my routine. Yet for some reason I've just started feeling like crap the past few weeks.
