Bro I was so pissed... I was like so much for an effing bolt on, then some of the rivets were right under the oil pan and such a pain in the dick... But it's in the past and I will be up at 0730 to Get Er' Done! I'll post pics and *** man, it'll be so worth it to slide 35s in there

That's the attitude to have! But seriously, the positions you have to get into to get some of those rivets. Gah. Especially doing it on jack stands like you and I did. Lol. It'll be worth it though.

Got new lug nuts for the new wheels and got them bolted on... Lift turned out nice and I definitely recommend the rough country 6"

Since it was warm enough today I started putting LED's in the cab, stopped after I got the front and back done to eat then never made it back out to do above the doors. Kind of glad I didn't otherwise I think it would blind me, just going to use the other strips in my convertible.



Factory interior lights




LEDs with factory interior lights




Just the LEDs.

That's cool. How did you mount them?

They had 3M sticky tape on the back that held it in place, I didn't trust it so I used a drop of Gorilla Super Glue every 6 inches. I got lucky because those are side emitting LEDs, and just happened to get both the front and back pointing down.

Okay guys I need a 552 led flasher for my lights but what's the difference between one with a ground wire and one without a ground wire?
