I got it on eBay from the seller fancy light.

They are from N-Fab and I got them from 4wheelparts for like 400, but then I had them painted (I left the steps powder-coated black) for like 150.

When I took off the og light and unplugged it, it looked like I was going to have to go in through the headliner, but I just pulled the wire very carefully and the little plastic push screw clips came out and gave me a lot more slack to get the connector through another hole.

Thanks for the comments!

How long you had those tires and how do you like them? I was going to use the same ones on my truck soon.

Your truck looks damn nice, looks like best buy inside.

Here are some other pics:





I got the lights from the eBay seller directshoponline for $171.00 shipped. I have a HID kit coming in a few days as well as new clear/amber LED turn signal bulbs and HID-like white 194 side marker LEDs.

I got them from www.summitracing.com and just took them out of the original mount and put them flush in the dash. I actually changed the Ride-Rite gauge to an Autometer gauge to match the FX4 gauges better.

I guess I have had them since October 2005. They have held up really well as far as tread goes, but I still have the shimmy at highway speeds. I haven't really had a chance to get it completely taken care of, but I'm fixin to. It might be a bad rim or they might not be seated properly or I might just have one out of round. They are definitely a great tire and they are pretty quiet on the road. They also look real nice.

Thanks again for all of you comments!

I like your nfab bars, I thought about getting them so I'd have another hi-lift jackpoint. The headlights are great. The z1 is a mod I'm planning on doing. The only mod I don't like is the front bullbar, but I guess it's going to be replaced with that raptor bumper I fantasize about ($1700 or so right?). You're going to put a winch in the front pocket right? Very neat truck!

Super Truck!

Do you know if that headunit will play video from a video ipod? It looks like it'll do just about everything for ya!Nevermind; just checked the specs and I don't think it will.

If ya don't mind, where did you buy that insanely cool headunit? I just saw them on ebay for about $1500 verses the $2200 price from the pioneer site.... do you have any video inputs going into it? I always thought it would be cool to mount a little bullet cam behind/next to each spring and you can check out your suspension travel "on the run"

Nice Mods, Sorry about the break in...that would really tick me off. Hey waht type of bull bar is that and did you go witht he LT handles or the brite chrome (I think that is the company), that stick on like the Putcos?

Enjoy the ride and the thrill of getting new parts.

^^^^ Been trying to find projector lights like these! I cant find them! These are the only ones that I like that dont have the cheap look to them they almost look stock. If anyone knows where I can find these let me know.

**That ebay seller no longer has them, I have been looking for a while now..
