I'll have to take a picture to show it off. Only thing that sucks about it is you can plainly see the "Made in China" label when it lights up LOL.
Thanks! I tried the LEDs I had left over from my dash, but it just didn't look that good in the dome light. Maybe I'll order a different one when I'm ready to get the LED taillights on Amazon.

Thanks for the link, unfortunately it doesn't ship to Canada, so i'm SOL with that , LMC was the site i saw them on, guess it's them or nobody, i've ordered through them before so at least i don't need to make an account... Bleh.

Replaced front rotors (hubs), bearings, seals, calipers. Now my truck will stop on a dime! Of course, upon putting it back together, I noticed the lower ball joints are bad. Good thing I like spending my free time working on old blue!

A few odds and ends, i smashed the vent window on the drivers side putting the handle back on the other day... lol, so a new one of those, 10 bucks at the wrecker, i can't complain at all about that, another ten for the passenger door unlock/lock switch...Woohoo... Then i changed the coolant temp sensor, bought an inexpensive seat cover, my seats are ok but it was only 30 bucks at walmart.

Added a secondary ground to my front gas tank on the gauge, was hoping it would fix my crappy reading i keep getting, but i think it's the actual float in the tank now, didn't really help.

Fixed up my bug screen in the front, needed a new button, one fell off, and the edge was all frayed to hell, so i bought some u channel for it, looks not to bad now.


Various pictures...lol, included a pic of my new MAP sensor as i forgot last time. Plus pics of the painted handles for the vent windows. No picture of my ground wire, skipped my mind while i was under the thing, busy day doing chores.

Put spray can bed liner on the tail gate, it was trashed so i painted it last summer, but it was getting marked again, i priced out a mat but that would of cost around 75 to 100 bucks, a can of this was 10 bucks, we will see how long it holds up, didn't go on as nice as i hoped but it looks better than it did i guess.

This is almost a "mandatory" upgrade, and makes a HUGE difference in lighting up the interior.

Yeah, i have no idea why they used a cover that blocks 75 percent of the light...lol I did upgrade to an LED bulb but that was still lacking, so i wired in two more LED lights and have 3 in the thing now...Haha, It's semi useable but i still want a clear lens.
