Haha thanks! It's one of those things that I've been wanting to do since I got her.

Small Update:

I ended up getting some tires today. I got them used from a member on here. General Grabber AT2's They look great so far. By the time that I got back in town the place I was gonna go to get them mounted was closed, so they're still sitting in the bed. <facepalm/> But I'm gonna get them thrown on tomorrow. On that note, does anybody have an extra center cap? I'm gonna be getting one whiten the week, so if you got one and you wanna make a couple bucks let me know.

I know that updates suck without pictures, but I'll get some posted tomorrow when they are installed.

I know that I promised pictures...

But I forgot.

Oops.



But anyway, I got the tires on today. General Grabber AT2's in 265/70/17. Once I get the pics up, I'd love everyone's opinions on them, but (to me) it looks like she sits higher, and with less wheel gap. True that's the opposite direction that I want to go, having traction is amazing (I forgot what that was! :P ) and with the mud flaps on, I feel like I've got a kinda cool Rallye Car look going on! Haha... Alright, well real update tomorrow with pictures of the tires, mudflaps, mirrors and working fog-lights! Woo-Hoo! I'm excited!

Okay guys, the other day I promised pictures. So here are pictures and more updates! Woo-Hoo!

First off, I saw this a couple days ago while I was getting gas.



The tow driver said that it had been rolled four times at 60 plus. Apparently the driver fell a sleep with cruise on. Crumple zones worked perfectly,
as the driver walked away. That's right, they walked away from this crap! He said that the next day the guy went out and bought a 2010 Lariat.
Wow.

So.. back on track...

Start of the day.
New Tires, YAY!



XL Mirrors, one of the last photos



XL Headlight Switch
(And free floor mats, woo...)



Fog Light Switch




Taking apart the doors, to swap mirrors




(Thanks for the help Boomer... )

Final install



Mud Flaps & Tires Closeups




A Couple more shots with my Euro Plate




So, while I'm super happy that I've got all this stuff on there are two things that I still need to do.

1.) I still need to wire up my fogs. I have the switch in, and the lights of course. But I have no idea how they are wired up from the factory.
I want this to look OEM, so could someone that has fogs factory do me a favour and take some photos of the wiring? Thanks!

2.) I still need to change my fuel filter. We didn't have the right tool to pry the line off the filter, so I think that I'm gonna have the dealership
to that while I'm getting some warranty work done.

Thoughts?


Opinions?

Anyone have a center cap?

By no means is this an update, but I promised Patrick some outdoor pictures, so here's a couple pictures from this morning.









...and question for you guys. I've meant to ask this for awhile now but I keep forgetting.

See the round thing to the right of the plate?



What is that?
Stupid question I'm sure, but I have no idea...

Thanks!

No, not yet.
My goal is by the end of the summer.
I'm taking donations though!
