Oh, OK. My OCD was what made me ask, LOL.

Thanks jprevat. I need to take better care of it. I want it to last as long as possible.

Anytime UGA. That color combo looks so good on the 10th gens. I would have held on to my old one, but rust repair and prevention was not something I wanted to add to my to-do list.

I realized I needed to update my list of mods. The led strip lights were burning out so I replaced them with 3 COBs with a weather proof on/off switch because I couldn't get them to work by splicing into the existing light.

The front trim was cracked so I bought a replacement, replaced the honeycomb with a billet grill (because the logo blocked the lightbar) and installed a sweet looking bull bar.


The bull bar blocks the auxiliary 6" floods in the bumper trim but I haven't figured out what to do with them. I plan to add a 24" light bar to the bull bar mounts at a time TBD.

I originally installed a chrome billet, but because of the shape of the bars, the billet would whistle between the speeds of 45 and 60 mph.

I pulled the AVIC and replaced with a cheap, large-face, touch screen. The instructions were bad and I can't use several of the features because I'm use the ODB with my EDGE CTS and my temperature controls are not electronic. The good news is it supports three USB connections (but only up to 128GB each), clear video from MP4s on the micro sd cards and the back-up camera, supports a second camera, and operates from an android platform.


Managed to find bright red lights for the dash but didn't remove the green filter, which gives me orange lights. Routed the USB charging cords behind the dash for the phone mount.

Went to the junkyard looking for a Lincoln navigatior clockspring and found the rare solenoid cover. So I had to grab that. I’ve been trying to find one of those for a long long time but all of them are missing or already taken. But I finally got one.

now to find a sticker replacement for the radiator shroud

Yeah, I've got a little rust damage under the driver's side rocker that needs to be fixed. Only rust on the truck.

That's where mine was showing up too but my second rear end was on it's way out and the top latch on both back doors decided they didnt want to work anymore no matter what I tried. The list got too long and I got too short on time. Well and taking the body lift off was going to be a PIA. Lol
