Should look good Jon. I must admit, you're a better man than me, the cold has got anything I'm gonna do on hold! A couple more days, and we have 30F days for a couple.

Boxlink system will have to wait to get installed until the tonneau is removed in the spring. Gotta hook up Forscan and change up some bulb outage setting for the LED's. This damn cold weather really slows things down. Can't wait to retire in a warm climate.
Tailgate graphics - you mean this one?



Have you considered the Airdesign tailgate applique? It's also black but is a 3D part, instead of a vinyl sheet. For some reason I'm tempted to say that Boostedgreygoose has it but I don't think so...I think it was someone else. Quite a few trucks on here have it.

Very hyped for the heads! I gotta put on my 5100s this weekend; good thing (rarely) I have a bit of generalized hyperhidrosis that'll ensure I'm roasting not freezing my butt off working on the truck

Yes that design, I will research the airdesign, but the AM reviews and cost make it so affordable, seems like a win win. I am most excited about the heads and Morimoto knock off fogs.

I just read through your build thread. Nice project, great build thread, great truck! My wife accused me of a midlife crisis moment when she caught me watching your videos to hear your exhaust sound.
Anyway, I did an Anti Chrome Ranger many years ago, it was blue also.

LED's are the next thing on my list, and I really like your beam cutoff picture you posted.
The low beam link that you posted above is no longer working. Would you direct me to the bulbs that you have please?
What do you mod slightly to make the LED's work? the bulb or the headlight housing?
Thanks
