Looks good, You might want to look for some OEM Fog Lights. I believe it requires a new switch, the lights, and some wiring.

I've never been a fan of the black cover plates over the fog light openings.

One idea for those holes is to install the paw lights. They are one of the very few LEGAL low beam LED lights you can install. They are larger than the ones you have and will really help for driving at night....I've driven your style truck with the factory lights, so I know this would be a great upgrade. Plus, being larger, they would look proportionally sized. Then you can put your cubes under the rear bumper for backing up.

Here are the lights, you can buy them on Amazon.

It kinda looks like the factory fogs are missing, but those factory fog lights were poor performers, so I'd be hesitant about buying them...since they won't be very useful.

It's a good looking truck!

I would put clear lenses on for better visibility and if I didn't go off road I'd get some nice road tires, works better in the rain and those look noisy. I'd spend the time going over the truck fixing and maintaining the aging components.

Well surprisingly these tires are quite and really smooth I go off-road sometimes with the truck so I like to have beefy tires like them also just so you guys know I already took care of everything the truck has brand new: fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel filter, transmission lines, brake lines, A arms, shocks, bushings, exhaust manifolds and exhaust manifold studs. So having and anything that would go bad is already replaced!

Off road you'd want some beefy tires. Sounds like you've gone through it but don't jinx yourself!
