Default A few mods

After living with yellowed, nasty *** headlights since I bought the truck, I finally bought a set of lightning headlights. Looks a lot better to me now. Since the truck is a 97, I had to change the header panel out to a newer style to accommodate the headlights. Wasn't too much trouble, but I was disappointed when I realized they were different. I also dropped the brush gaurd, mounted lights behind the grille and removed the headache rack. I really miss the lights on top, but I never really liked the rack. I'm going to start looking around and see if I can fab up a light bar and put a magnetic base on it for easy removal. The truck also came with carr superhoops when I bought it, but I sold those and bought a set of truckchamp nerf bars.



I still need to get foglights for the 99+ front bumperI put in. I was going to get a set of the depo euro fogs to match the headlights, but I wound up needing another front drive shaft. The one that was on there was rusted solid at the slip yoke, which caused it to bend when I was trying to break it loose to change the gears.

I also like to carry a bench seat in the bed of my truck for hanging out purposes. The truck came with it when I bought it, but I found a deal on bucket seats/center console, so this one found its way back here. It's proven to be a hit. All my friends are sitting on their tailgates (which is uncomfortable for me) while I'm chillin' in my seat. Also serves as extra seating in my garage.




I also recently threw a powertrax lock-right locker in the rear along with the 4.56s. It's a huuuuuuuge improvement. Let me know what you guys think. Comments/suggestions/ideas welcome!
