New wheels will definitely make a huge impact on your truck, looking forward to that. I just bought some 22" black reps for winter and installed Wilwoods so I'm good to go for the bad roads that I know are coming. Fair warning, my build thread is long but it's not too boring. It's been alot of fun for me.
Haha the new guy doesn't know who you're talking about. I'm stealth.

Haha you’ve been outed Red rocket.
Barely broke the surface on your build thread and super jealous of the detail already. I need body and paint bad, its not awful but I see way to many little imperfections in my paint. Wish I had a body and paint guy like yours around here.

Mail call..........
Got my JDM Astar LEDs, amber 194s for the markers, 3030 switchbacks, and 3030 Xenon for the drls.
(I also got 3030 back ups, and brilliant red 3030 LEDs for brakes and rear turns but none of them fit in my aftermarket housing because they have red diffuser/reflector plates built in the middle of the pockets to project more red color from standard bulbs, stupid sypder taillight).
Since I have HIDs in the lows and highs, I have the 4low/6hi mod. The way it is nothing comes on during the day automatically, I have to turn them on with the switch and then all lights come on at night automatically like normal. So during the day I can have no lights or manually turn on the halos, marker lights, and turn signal lights all together. And at night the light sensor on the dash takes over and turns on all the lights just mentioned and the 4 low(drls and low beams). And when I hit the brights it just adds another set of HIDs to the mix. I am probably going to do the light senor mod and put resistors in the plug so the car just thinks it is always day and I can manual control the lights all the time. I don’t like how the sensor turns the HIDs on before it is really that dark and with the new LEDs I really don’t even need lows or his for city driving.
Good shot of the 194 led all light up!
This is halos, headlight markers LEDs, the turn signal switch back and the amber 194 corner marker/turn signal
In this photo the headlight side mark LEDs, the 2 in the top light, look closer in color than they do in person, everything else is like 6k and they are more like 10k. I am going to swap them out for amber ones so it will be a vertical row of 3 amber LEDs.

This is what it will look like all the time at night, this is 4 low, halos, markers, drls, and switchback turns. Kind of stupid bright I don’t know if I will keep it like this.
This is what it looks like if you are above the projector cut off.
This is what it looks like if you drop below the projector cut off.
