I thought I seen KY plates in one of your pics. That's why I was asking, I'm in SW Ohio, SE of Cincinnati, so was wondering if it was around here you were referring to. I really like that bumper.

some what of an update

:owell, untill recently I've neglected my truck, but I've had it in the my shop for 3 weeks so thought I would take some pics.
Night shaded the tail lights, still need To do the 3rd brake light after I do an LED swap
Refinished and Polished my rims, gonna try and keep them clean this winter.

Picked these lights up off of ebay for 99 cents each (plus 7$ shipping.... but that doesn't make it sound as good). Tried cleansing one but still has a little yellow tint to it so I'm gonna pick up a coarser grit sand paper tommorrow to see if that does the trick. Can these thing oxydize from the inside of the lens?


Other than that I've just finished sevicing the whole thing and replaced the front brakes and rotors, which sucked because the rotors were seized the the hubs, so I had to remove the whole spindle and use my motivational device to get them off.

Now a question, should my brake pedal move about 4 to 5 inches with no actual braking action. since I've had the truck it has seemed like I have had to put my foot to the floor to slow down. Is this normal? If not what should I check.

Oh, now something is cherping on the lower, front passenger side of the motor, didn't feel like looking at it tonight.

need advise, I suck with color combos (color blind in one eye). what would look better, red bumper with black accessories or black bumper with red accessories?
I would just clear it, looks good like that
