Looks great!, Are those the OEM HIDs?

Seems strange that the cord hole is in the center instead of near the front edge.
Spiky, it's a SanDisk wireless thumb drive. So it is taller than the rest.

Angus, I had a motion light mounted to light up the bottom and it was hitting that. Flipping it around solved that.

Still hits that flash drive. I'll just use another that's normal size.

As far as a handle goes. I'll do what you guys suggested. Find a small **** and attach it somewhere here the middle.
For now, that's what it looks like.
I had to flip it, because of the motion light I have installed, hence the Raptor mat facing the passenger.

may have been posted earlier. Since you have to be a giant to reach the dipstick on a 5.0. About $30 shipped. Works great for reaching in the engine compartment.

Super simple.... just tapped into the +/- of the cig lighter plug (so it could always be reversed) and ran the wires to it... took about 10min.

Well, I must be a giant because the dipstick is right there for me. But, that might be worthwhile for spark plugs or other work.

I think this would qualify as one of the best mods under $50. I have less than $5 in it. It is an under the hood fuse box from an 88-98 Silverado. I opened it up, rearranged the wires and pins to my liking and bolted it to a bracket I made. I wanted a clean and organized spot to wire all my future mods.
