Looks good man. I also dig what you did with the license plate. You get pulled over for that yet?

Looks good. I am looking at tintin my tail lights. How did you get them off. I took out the two bolts I could see and they would not come off. Are their some bolts I am not seeing? Thanks in advance.

Nope. Those two bolts on the inside of the tailgate and then they just have to be pulled out. Don't be afraid to put on the man pants.

Tail lights look great! What did you use to paint them? Niteshades? Also how did you get them to look glossy. I'm not a fan of the flat black lights.
Great looking truck!

Just used niteshades. The glossiness came form wet-sanding/buffing.

I hear ya, I just overtightened and snapped my battery cable nut. and also broke the plastic piece while trying to pull the headlamp out to splice into the wiring. Now I know your suppose to turn then pull.

That's a kickass looking truck btw. I need to do that next now that I got some of the stuff I wanted done, just need the cold air intake and i'll start working on the exterior features.
