A Few New Mods W/Pics

About 1 1/2 months ago my truck was broken into at a hotel in San Antonio, Tx. After being in the shop for a month, mainly due to a retarded appraiser, I finally got my truck back and was able to do a few things to it. Here is a list of the new mods (with some on the way due to backorder etc...)
  1. AVIC-Z1 w/ Sirius, iPod, XMNavTraffic, Bluetooth(end of July hopefully)
  2. Road Armor Raptor Bumper( Supposed to be here on 17th, now 2 weeks from then )
  3. Frontier-Gear Rear Replacement
  4. Mark LT handles (Oxford White)
  5. Bully Smoked LED 3rd brake light
  6. Clear projector headlights
  7. New Magnaflow Exhaust
Here are the pics that I have so far. I still need to get the pics of the AVIC-Z1, so I'll post those tomorrow.



More pics in reply.

It is a tune to where the truck won't go over a certain rpm in each gear. To tell you the truth, I have never even used it! I don't even use the tuner anymore. I just accepted the fact that this truck is never really going to impress me performance-wise, so I'm just stayin with exhaust. I even took off my Volant which might be on a very popular auction site that rhymes with mebay as we speak.

Looks good! Where'd you find that 3rd brake light??? I'm not big on LED lamps, but I'm even less of a fan of the OEM light. I tinted one and now about 6 months later it's almost completely faded.

Did you have to take the headliner off to get the 3rd brake light connected? I have the same light and had a problem with the connector being way inside the roof, so I have to take off the headliner to get to it. Was your connector close to the original light?
