Thanks! Yeah, the backup cam is so awesome. It's probably one of the most useful features. Well, that, and the seamless Bluetooth audio and phone calls.

I have some black lug nuts arriving today. They didn't ship with the wheels. It's driving me crazy having those nice wheels on but having the original open-ended lug nuts on still. Stands out like a sore thumb I think.

Its been forever since I've posted an update, so here's a more current picture. I've added a 52 inch curved lightbar, and added a custom toggle in the dash for that. I've also ditched the halos and went with a U-Bar style headlight. I replaced my shit bulbs (low/high/fog) with led bulbs from headlight experts which made a huge difference in visibility, however leave a lot to be desired for the $300 I spent for the kit.

I'm also going to replace the fog lights entirely with 7inch led bars on each side. I'm going to wire them in with standard wiring so I can use my existing button. I've done the 6-high mod so I'll be able to run them regardless of what beam I'm using. I already have the lightbars and wiring adapters for a smooth plug and play install, I'm just waiting for this damn rain/snow to stop and a day off.

Those U bar headlights looks pretty good. What are you using for the fog light replacements?

Yeah, I love these new headlights. Here's the new fog lights. I'll post pictures when I get them on.

I got them on ebay for like $25, and ordered the plug and play adapter for like $7 on Amazon.

Cool man thx. Yukon headlighting options...grrr lol.

Can you send the link to the adapter?

Oh, and in case anyone is curious, I currently have about 230k miles on the original motor and trans. I replaced the water pump about 6 months ago. There is a slight delay in shifting from 2nd to 3rd, but this has been present since I've had it, with no signs of it worsening. All in all, she's still going strong.

I do plan on eventually swapping in a newer 5.3 with low miles or rebuilding my own. I'd like to install a cam and turbo as well... But that is on the back burner for now.
