I really like that setup. Good job. Very clean.

Thanks!...From what I've read the chrome can be painted if it's prepped correctly. Kicked around vinyl wrap, but think I want' to go with something more permanent.

The headlights and grille are in the pile of parts in my basement. I have the same taillights as you have. I think I'm going to try to install them without the load resistors and do the Forscan thing.

Cool, I think I'd go that route with the bumper too. I know you know of "mbullock", the guy knows what he's doing, maybe he could help ya out with some tips.
Same tails? I'm impressed I impressed you.

You've got more cajones than me with that Forscan, I'm so afraid I'd screw something up that's $$$$

Yep, There was a small issues with them...I made a fix that I think will work...I'll post it later when I'm ready to do them..

I never ordered a tail gate damper, I wasn't 100% that if you ordered a tail gate step you didn't get it automatically, I don't think I do because it drops like a rock. I'll catch the damper and the tails the same time.

I'll check out "mbullock". My day job is computer stuff. So it doesn't scare me much at all.

Yeah...it was a necessity to get the truck into the garage after it was leveled. I'm going to have to lookup the threads from mbulluck.

Playing around with the dash I found out my driveway is only 8° not all that steep but with ice and snow it can be a little challenging at times, I really love this dash.

I took a picture of my cluster while driving up Grandfather Mountain....It read 8° also. The only difference is the truck in the display was pointing up instead of down. lol.
I would hate to have that as a driveway

It's not really that bad, the garage is below grade under the house, the nice side effect is it's easy to heat and cool. There is landing near the bottom so you can recover on ice if it gets exciting. When it gets over an inch I get out the snow blower and clear it off. Also keep bag of ice melt handy too just in case.
