Repair any rust before you try to bedline or paint the bottom. Otherwise it'll bubble and look like ****. Lol

Took the time today to help my buddy out with his exhaust. Considering it had more patches than a boy scout vest we decided to lay fresh pipe and weld in a new magnaflow muffler.

In return his boss introduced me to an 85 f350 diesel he was selling tomorrow to a guy who only wanted the frame. Good news I snagged 2 mint fenders rust free and a set of original mirrors as well as a dome light with 2 map lights for only $160! Woopp woop :P

Will post pics of my new goodies tomorrow!

My infamous procrastinator of a best friend has yet to meet with me so I can get my fenders lol.

In better news...I brought my truck into the shop at work today and tinkered with her on the alignment rack. Now for those who aren't as mechanical and own a big lifted truck...especially older truck I really recommend hugging your mechanic and buying him a beer because it's a very tedious task to get perfect.

I only had 40 minutes so I lined up the toe and camber...days ahead I'll battle with the devil aka caster and make everything straight.

Also I was bored so I ordered some goodies. New headlight switch and a set of LED projector headlights...a bit pricey almost totalling 300 but very high quality and they'll last forever.

Gloss black housings and a very clean light output unlike my previous HID kit which scattered the light everywhere. The high beams are killer bright! Some pics of the light output..

Low beams.

Things got a bit messy at the previous owner of my truck had a harness terrible red neck spliced into the wiring. The harness was from an 89 or something like that...seriously the wiring was awful. I bought a original harness and a new switch and got to work wiring it up!


Ermmm things got a bit messy lol.

Honestly I think they're a bit ugly...I preferred my old ones but these are far more higher quality than anything else on the market and they light very well which is important to me because I do drive this thing a lot and go off-road as well.

I think it's time for some clear front turn signal housings! And throw a bit of tint on them to match the headlights better than these ugly amber ones.

That's all for now sadly! Although I do have two ten inch light bars for my push bar coming in the next few days!

Today was my day off so I wanted to get some stuff done, but it's been raining all day. I put led bulbs in my tail lights and mounted up my two ten inch led light bars. I didn't wire them yet because it was freezing and wet...
