Sounds like just the right amount of "rasp".

Little packages showed up today, I'll get to those Saturday evening.

I'm up in the air for the next mod, I'd like to do some sort of entry light under the truck, glorified puddle lamps basically. Still working on plans on how I want to add the off road lighting.

Second guessing the new stereo, I'd love a bigger screen but not sure I want to spend that kinda cash for it.

Stubby antenna. Cute lil thing....better reception than no antenna but if I listened to a lot of FM stations it wouldn't work out.


Led reverse lights. So far they look better and appear brighter, we'll see tonight.




Lariat led 3rd brake light. Did I spend $100 to match my cargo lights to everything else....possibly lol. Brake light is definitely brighter.

I like the stubby antennas, but chopping down the original has worked great for me. I bet those reverse bulbs are bright!

Thank you. It does it's job, the two main stations I listen to come in better now.

I wish I wouldn't have bent the crap out of my stock one or I would've just cut it. I'm crossing my fingers they are brighter and don't wash out the camera.

Mine like that don't wash out the camera. Now I remember you bent your antenna and I would have gave you mine when we met up, just didn't know about it, lol

I should have complained a long time ago lol

Led 3rd brake was a good investment. Happy everything matches and the 3rd brake light is intense compared to the incandescent bulb.


Reverse lights are leaps and bounds over the factory bulbs. No camera wash out either.

Even after only 4 months, I'm already kicking around going down to 17's or 18's on 34/35's. While I like the look of the factory 20's, I miss the meatier tire I've had on previous trucks. Just a thought...

Maybe I need a lift and 37's lol
