Default Gas Cap

First of my many items to come in, new gas cap. I put it on today while I wait for my new tires and rims to get delivered TODAY! So those pics to come also. But back to the gas cap

Stock

First I removed the Cap

Then I slide on the bracket

Then screwed on the new Cap

I didnt take a picture of it but then I put on the door lock inside the gas cap. Which was the final thing.

Thanks man. Here are the other two things I did this weekend, with my bed lights and my roof top lights going on next.

First one is my tail gate light bar.

I hardwired it into my trailer harness.

Default Step Bar

Put some gorhino step bars on my truck... had a fun time trying to remove my old rusted brackets. Two hours later and none off, common sense kicked in and I just drilled out the bolts.

Stock

Stock Passenger side damage (on truck when I bought)

Removed my bars and working on brackets

Simple install, 3 brackets bolt on per side then bolt onto the step bar

Thank you. Slowly but surely. I will get to it, I'm thinking of painting the tan myself a matte black to match the fender flares.

Default Bed Lights

Got these in a trade, its 2 pods per side that house 4 LEDs in each (total 16 LEDs). I ran them between the cab and the bed and then up underneath the rear driver door and underneath the steering wheel and mounted a switch next to the cigarette lighter.

Switch

Lighting (Picture doesn't do it justice)

Default Clearance Lights

Clearance Lights. Keep this simple... not a hard install, but what a b***h it was for me.
Also on a side note, going to submit my truck for TotM November
