lol. thanks. it's funny you say that about the headlights....i actually have a set waiting to get installed into the lightning. as for the wiper cowl, the one on my scab is left over from an expedition that i had. figured i'd put it on. didnt really care for it, but now have a bunch of holes if i take it off. as for the one on the lightning, it was on it when i bought it, lol. but if i take it off, there will be a bunch of holes on that too. so either way, i cant win, lol.

yeah, i liked it when it was on my expy. but i guess now it doesnt bother me either way. if i could do it all over, i wouldnt have put it on. but since its on, oh well.

dirty, they dont do $H!t, lol......except catch a bunch of leaves in the fall & hold snow in the winter. lol.


maybe i can try finding a small plug to put in the hole & silicone the crap out of it so it doesnt start to rust.

man i really wish my truck was 4wd sometimes lol

not to mention everytime i see hockeyfanjeff's wheels i want to do the same to mine lol

and weshova i dont have personal experience w/ installing a body lift on these trucks, but from what ive heard the PA kit has pretty good instructions but who knows..

my friend got a real good deal on getting his installed at a shop, i think it was around 300 out the door
