The arctic weather finally cleared up long enough so I could give the beast her first wash...paint is in pretty good condition but as soon as it warms up I will be doing a 3 step paint correction. She will definitely need to be wet sanded to bring the paint back to show room condition...here's a few pics I took with my phone today

I did a few things to the truck today....first thing I did was find the digital key pad code down by the fuse block on the passenger side footwell to gain entrance into the truck...found the 5 digit code and changed it to my own preference.
The next thing I did was replace the dim halogen map lights to LED...I then relocated the remote start antenna from under the glovebox to the B pillar for a longer range
The last thing I did was, hardwire my Valentine 1 radar detector and the V1 discreet unit into the map lights...just an FYI for anyone interested in knowing how to get accessory power 12V(power only when truck is in the on position or started) I spliced into the blue wire on the gray plug and used a self taping screw for ground. There is plenty of room to tuck away any slack you may have after splicing above the map lights
I ran the wire for the V1 discreet unit above the headliner, down the B pillar, then behind the dash into the open space above the radio so it's well hidden and I'm not used as a radar detector by other drivers
