Well I went ahead and decided to wire up some LEDs in the mirror reflectors. I figured it would be an easy task so I went to Home Depot and picked myself up a Dremel and went to work. Getting the mirrors off wasn't too bad, just don't force or rush. Take everything else apart was a breeze as well. I started on the passenger side and everything went smoothly. I wired it up, soldered, and put some liquid electrical tape on it and put everything back together. The driver's side wasn't as forgiving though. My cut with the Dremel was not as clean and I went a little too deep on this side and you can't really notice it, but I will always know. Next when I went to take the puddle light out I broke one of the tiny clips off that holds it into place. I tried to super glue this back on and it just wouldn't stick so I rigged up some wire ties to hopefully hold it into place. I eventually did get this all back together and everything working. Just hard on myself I guess. With the price of the Dremel I could have bought pre-made LED reflectors for not much more. Oh well, I did this myself I guess.
I used this guide and it was very easy to follow:

It's been awhile since I posted, but here are my LED Reverse Bulbs that arrived about a week ago. They're definitely brighter and make a difference when backing up!
And here's a picture (two versions) of my truck by an old abandoned gas station:
I usually like the more vibrant of the two, but for this, I think the more subtle version compliments the truck.

So I finally switched to my stock 20s and I must say, definitely better! I did get that dreaded TPMS Sensor Fault on the dash, so I'll have to get the dealer to clear that up. Anyways, here's some pictures!
Oh! Also these deer decided to jump out and say hello!

Wow! It's been a really long time since I've posted anything, but man have I been busy with the truck.
I've recently purchased a 2014 Canam Outlander 500 XT and originally had it in the bed of the truck. But instead of having my tailgate get beat up by rocks and dirt, I found a quad deck on Kijiji and have been running that since!
Along with the purchase of the quad and deck, my truck had it's last service before it hits 100,000km! Oh and did I mention that I bought and installed a Rough Country 2.5" Lift/Level kit?
Here are some pictures:
2014 CanAm Outlander 500XT
Lift Arrived!
Rear Blocks and Shocks Installed with quad loaded (Not much difference)
Rear Blocks and Shocks Installed with quad not loaded
Strut with Spacer Installed
Front and Rear Installed together with quad loaded
Shocks Boots and License Plate Delete
