Oh yeah..AC was leakin so I replaced all the O Rings and recharged back 2 pounds of freon. Works great! Coolant flush....just replaced the radiator too...now all I need to do is replace the heater core and then my truck should be running like brand new again...this is just the beginning guys...next week tinting the windows 5 % all around.

Don't get the HID halos. You'll regret it and they look like they belong on a ricer. Get some lightning headlights, they look so much better and you'll get a lot better light output than those "HID halos". Otherwise nice looking truck man! Welcome to the forum.

no they're not. Really cheap compared to the halo style HID ones. About $100. Depending whether you want black or chrome Show'em Off!!! Post up 97-03 trucks!-image-3351266736.jpg Show'em Off!!! Post up 97-03 trucks!-image-129091813.jpg I had them for a day. Returned them after seeing the super ugly pattern. That's the legit pictures that I took. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J5OG9K2..._vbJZub13G9AAE This is where I got mine. For the black ones. you can find the chrome ones around there as well.

I like it! Welcome to the forum man. With all of these plans you should start a build thread for your truck. Was your leveling kit spacers or was it the spindle lift?

Really tempted to to a retrofit on mine after I get my fogs swapped, new mirrors, seat covers, and the autostart installed. Gonna be a month or two before I get there though.

Took this while feeding our horses this afternoon. I wish I could have figured out how to wire the mirror lights into my cornea so they came in with them
