Sweet truck man!

So far no issues with the PIAA's. My headlight (the one that was damaged) has been repaired and shipped and will be here Monday.

This weekend I will be finally putting on the CAI and tonight I put on an LED tail light bar on the back of the truck. Gonna go get a picture of it now.

Picture is kinda bad but its my iphone at night... but I think you get the idea. Has the reverse white lights, running lights (as seen), brake and turn signals.

Ok got my retro fit HID's installed today.





Gonna hit the closed down Home Depot later tonight to make sure I am aligned properly. I think they look great but won't know for sure until later when it gets darker.

Almost forgot to mention that I installed my AirAid CAI on Friday. Sounds awesome, almost to loud for me but after driving a while I think I have gotten used to it. I am extremely disappointed however in the MPG. I have not done anything different driving wise but with this CAI I have lost 1 MPG.

Stock truck = 17MPG
4" Lift with 35" Tires = 13.5MPG
X3 Tuner and Custom Tune from 5StarTuning = 14MPG
AirAid CAI = 12.9MPG

If it stays this way for a week or so of driving I will be putting the stock intake back on and selling this one.

How hard was the install of the PIAA's on the light bar? Thinking of the same setup. Truck looks beast.

Thanks for the compliment and thanks to everyone else for the compliments.

The 4 PIAA light install is ok as long as you scrap the wiring harness they provide you. You are much better off wiring yourself with normal connectors. If you use theirs the large white clips will be outside of the grill. I cut them off and used connectors so it fit cleanly inside the wire loom. I used self tapping screws on the passenger side (in the engine compartment roughly over the wheel well) and dumped the light switches they sent. I ran a wire through the firewall on the drivers side into the cab and put in my own switch.

Now I gotta figure out why I don't have high beams on my HID's. Ugghhh

Sweet truck dude!

As for the intake.. I had a problem with My '09 k&N.. I always wanted to be on it.. to hear it. then i let off a bit. lol. mileage increased.
I had a superchips with a K&N tune setup for the intake.

Is your tuner setup for the intake system? If not get it re-calibrated. aka new tune to optimize the extra air. Then you will take full advantage of it.
