That rim has a nice less is more look to it.

As far the tail lights, I don't know if the stock red lenses would look as clean as what you got. They always seem to have an orange look to them depending on the light.

Welcome back and enjoy your leave.

I like it, looks good lowered. I just don't want to do C clamps. I thought I could do a flip kit?

Yep really need to move and get established so I can put a 2/4 on my truck.

It will be over before you know it though, but at least you'll know you're almost done.

The list never seems to get shorter here. Get one thing done and think of three more. It's like a bucket list...lol

Speaking of shaving your fenders, I've found three out of four of the factory flares at the pick and pull here hopefully I can get the fourth before I move and you redeploy.

GT, not sure i am a huge fan of the 18's after the drop. Maybe since the truck is a screw, so theres alot more compared to a reg cab on 18's being that low.

The "L" rims are my winter wheels. I need to get new rubber on the 20's cause the old tires are to tall. 285/50/20. I need to get 275/40/20's or somewhere close to that. I talked with Patman about tire size for this much drop. The 18's are growing on me though. Don't know what it is about them but I dig' um. For now I will roll with the 18's. I need to get a bunch of stuff done before I buy new tires, Seats and console, ground kit, side exit exhaust and shorten swaybar end links.

Didn't get anything I really wanted to get done to my truck while I was home. I got caught up in a stupid DIY home project. I ended up remodeling my laundry room by laying tile down and hanging 2 black/brown cabinets. But this is what I was able to get done.

I got rid of the carbon fiber dash kit, and bought lightning dash pieces to replace them.


Then I got to install this and I love it.


When I redeploy, I'll find time to install my floor sound deadening that I bought to kill time during my R&R.

Yeah the night I got home, I hung out with buddies at BWW's and then did a little vacation with the wife, worked on my house. Buddies told me that it seemed like I just got there.

I have 2 issues with my truck.

1: My speedometer works, but doesn't light up. Can one of the connectors in the back be unplugged, or do both need to be plugged in for the truck to start?

2: Horn, the horn doesn't work. I think it might be due to the fact I replaced the cruise control switch but that doesn't work either, at night it has a very very low dim.

I'm not home yet so I can't look at these personally, but the wife doesn't like to drive the truck at night since she can't see how fast she's going.
