Darren, my old ones were retrofitted by Saleen(theretrofitmasters) one of the led projectors burnt out. I'm looking into options to re-retro them as the housings and lenses are immaculate. I will probably sell them once I do that.

Ah ok. I thought they looked different than the xB style.

Since the Saleen rear panel is non existent, and I had previously had it plastidipped. I redid the tailgate permanently. Had to fix some paint flaking(due to a pressure washer).

Also got rid of the ptm lights, and tinted them super dark. The lights still shine through great as I didn't go as dark on those spots. Everything is buried in clear, and needs to be blocked and polished.

Also built these for my brothers "new truck".

Ultimately they'll end up with dummy projectors up top.

Been awhile, few minor changes, and a big one in the works...

Trigger industries kick back flaps. Happy to have flaps again. Really good quality as well! Look them up if you're interested!

Other than those few things, not much has changed. May be trading the Mavericks for some hostages here in awhile. Same specs aside from offset, -24's instead of the -12's I have.

Picked up another engine... Done tons of research(not much out there). But it'll be one of the first. Won't let the cat out of the bag just yet as I've got a ton of work to get it to run.

Why not go ahead and do quads?

Between not having parts for quads, and my brother wanting them done, I cranked them out. I also had reused the fx-r's out of his 08 f350 headlights for that build.

Just ordered a cheap set of 3" projectors to use as dummies up top, two more Apollo 1.0 shrouds, and two sets of rgb halos. Once I finish the other list of lights I'm currently building, those will get a make over.

Minor wear, but a thousand times better than my drivers cloth seat that had started to tear pretty bad.

Got myself a set of 20x10 -24 Fuel hostages. Have also sold my Fuel Mavericks. The whole rim change will be happening in the next week or two.

Trying to get the time to redo my headlights as well. Picked up Apollo 1.0 shrouds, and front mount morimoto rgb halos. Going to fix up the paint work as well. May re-retro them into oem housings to upgrade the cheapo eBay housings.

Too much work on other peoples vehicles lately!

Also just picked up my new to me 20x10 -24 fuel hostages. Going to get them installed once my replacement uniballs show up, as well as a 2.5 level kit, and taller rear block.

How much farther out are those going to stick now?

Can't wait to see the new retro

Should be just under 1/2" more poke. So not a whole lot more, but enough for a levelled truck.

Hoping to have time around Christmas to tear into the lights again. Been hard at it finishing up everyone else's trucks lately.

Aside from the long tubes, and single borla, I have not. I do have an x-pipe, two new borla xr-1's, and black tips sitting on the shelf. Been somewhat of a back burner thing for awhile. I have purchased a tubing bender, and I'm also in the process of brushing up my tig welding skills. So maybe one weekend coming up I'll tackle that project. I would take it in to have it done, but all the local shops have quoted over a grand with parts supplied for a couple little bends, and pipe.

After Christmas things will slow down, and I'll have a few weekends free to tinker on my own iron.
