I'm digging the reverse lights. My backup camera I put in works OK at night, but could work better with brighter lights.

I see you had to send some lights back, what did you end up going with for the reverse and cargo?

andrewdod

The reverse and cargos all fit fine. Reverse and cargo takes the same bulb type. The 800 lumen option works fine for me but that company also has a 1000 lumen option if you want to go brighter. My fitment issues were with the 194 tag lights, they were a bit too long for the housing, but did light up fine, so I'm getting a little shorter 194 and it should work however ive been a bit busy and havent gotten around to ordering them yet. The festoons were seller error i was sent 37mm instead of 42mm just swapped them out with amazon and they work well.

Are those just reverse bulbs that snap right into the ordinary sockets? That really lights things up!

andrewdod

Yep. Regular lights, they fit a little snug and you have to work them in some but they are P&P. Thus particular company also makes a 1000 lumen and 1200 lumen option. I only have the 800.

Also, kind of a small update for you guys. Not really truck related but still really good news. I got a new job, and I am relocating from Rhode Island to the Philadelphia area. I havent quite decided where yet, I'm waiting on a couple things. 1. I need a more clear and definitive idea of where I am going to be placed within my territory. 2. I am training in MD for around 3 months so I'm not in a hurry to sign a lease and give away money for a place I wont be staying in right away. However this build shouldn't be as slow of a pace as I initially thought!

Congrats on the new job!

What's the next step for the truck?

andrewdod

Thanks!
Little things will be morimoto fogs, window tint, avs window vent shades. These will hopefully happen fairly shortly.

By the end of the summer or early october i have a goal to do fox 2.0 coil overs, Icon UCAs, AAL or block (still debating), 20x10 -12 fuel lethal wheels on 35s. After that I'm gonna chill for a bit and maybe slowly build a set of headlights. Also wanna get a new rear bumper eventually because PO put a nice dent in it.

I'm toying with the idea of swapping my Fox 2.0s for a true 2.5 coilover if you're interested in low mileage used ones. Just a thought for a fellow STX friend.

andrewdod

possibly if you still have them when I'm ready right now most of my money is being saved for the move that will be coming up in the next few weeks. We'll see how much money is left over after the house is settled lol. Can I ask why you want you want to switch?

The 2.0s are a huge improvement over stock especially with the addition of LT tires. They are literally perfect on road but I'm looking for more offroad. I want to do a full 2.5 coilover with some deaver springs and remote resi's out back. The 2.0s leave me wanting just that little extra bit on the trail.
