So got the front light bracket on or what ever it's called. I believe it might also be referee to as core. The army gave me today off. Great thing about just getn home from deployment all the 3 and 4 days off. Workn on putn the new battery bracket on now and then the radiator. Also been working on the ignition. I got the tilt steering wheel and the actuator broke but luckily a shop here has a new one for 3.50 heck of a deal. So jus gota pick that up and put it in. Think I'll make a how to thread to explain how it's done from what I hear its pretty common that they break. Kuz I've been having to start it with a pair of pliers so if you've got any questions hit me up.

Also got the lights mounted after blacking them out and the hub caps cut out to fit over the lockers. Just gta take the wheel back off and grind down the frame and components behind it then sand em and give it all a new fresh coat of paint. Already got it all scraped down. Hoping to have it all done by Monday so I can get the axles rebuilt and then next step is to paint the while truck and fix some rust spots. ie cab corners and a spot in the cab and a few other minor spots. Gota stop it all before it gets worst.

Just got back from some training yesterday. And got home and my truck was back from the shop got the axles fully rebuilt and swapped in 3.73s and a ls in the back and a Detroit locker in the front. So I took her out in some mud but took it easy wana break all the new parts in nice n easy. Got into a few holes and the locker preformed perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the new setup. Next in the list is a new clutch and possibly a tranny rebuild gta dig in and see how it all looks. And eventually a paint job but for now I'm diggn the multi colors lol.

Some updates to my truck still got the multi color chameleon look going on waitn till about the end of February to paint er so I ain't gota worry bout salt on the roads. Exist out in a 11in zoom Kevlar clutch. Working out pretty good so far I'm liken it. Got some gauges for oil pressure temp and the volts. Love having the oil pressure gauge now I can accurately see how she's running. Got some speakers and new radio wired up and some kc day lighters on the front. Also got a single in dual out pipe finally it was just coming out right under the cab looks good and sounds better too. I think my next feat will be finish up the frame under the cab and get some steering stabilizers for it. Along with many more planned feats I'd like to tackle.

I actually don't mind the two different colors....doesn't look bad at all. I noticed you said you blacked out your headlights, but the picture a couple posts up doesn't have blacked out ones? I think it'd look better with them to match the bumper/rim setup.

Ya I had blacked out headlights but they were just to dark for me. Took alot of visibility away I think I went to heavy in the coats. I'm going to try it again with my other set of headlights I have just a little lighter this time on the coats. And if anything do the turn signal and brake lights again.

But color wise ya it's not bad but in the driver side I have a red and white fender and a red tailgate. Probably stay with the stock blue color not sure yet still brainstorming a few ideas.
