Could be worse. We had a 91 Dakota when I was a kid. She dropped a wheel going down the road. That would have been damn scary at absolute best if it had been a highway scenario. Still miss that truck

Trying to finish up the cooling system modification I'm working on. I want my truck to be a beast but I've got to fix the little issues before I finish the tuning for the supercharger.

Dipped, they are smooth as glass. I have dipped wheels numerous times. Do it when the air is cool so you get a "solid" wet heavy coat to finish up with. They smooth, a little sheen and no texture.

It wasn't too bad just measured and remeasured to make sure they where straight and level. Used lots of tape to protect the area and a spray bottle to keep the metal from getting too hot and cooking my paint. I cut them with a 4" cut off wheel grinder. As for the light they are just 24w Cree led lights off eBay. But they put off plenty of light for what I am using them for.

I removed my Bull Bar yesterday, reinstalled the tow hooks, then removed the front bumper and installed an LED light bar. I still need to paint match my grille and can't decide if I want to go with the same grille on it color matched or paint the FX2 grille I have that's black. I didn't drive anywhere last night to try out the light, but did go outside and flip it on and it lit up everything really nicely.
