New state , new truck , who dis

Well Dave, you’ll be a well rounded individual after all the stuff you’ve been, and are still, going through. Good to see the progress on the truck and even though you went through hell, you got things done the way you wanted. I’m thinking things will get better for you soon, you’ve been through enough it sounds like. Good luck and keep at it, I have faith in you.

I’m already a well rounded individual, I’m as round as they get, I deal with this stuff all the time. It’s not new and at this point even before recent events I always expect something to mess up. If one things not messed up I’m amazed and I prepare myself for the next 5 things to become a disaster.
In the end as long as I have my health and my lady then I’m good.

Some more shots of the glow gauges . Man I loved that look.

Added cheap Bluetooth led rgb footwell strips.

I’ll be going back and posting some other little miscellaneous mods , bouncing around at different time frames so don’t be alarmed when you see the truck in different random stages. I just wanted to get the drop and led cluster fiasco posted and done with.
Added built in led door lights . These suckers are crazy bright





Led unit on drivers side vs 194 bulb on passenger side

Got tired of just the door speakers so I needed some bass in my life. Kicker comp C in a super slim box with a kicker cxa 400.1 . Sounded decent, I miss having the room like the Tahoe with the 12” mtx 9500 that shook the whole truck. I could’ve got a bigger shallow sub in a deeper box but I wasn’t about to sacrifice leg room for me or even for the passenger.

Also tinted my reverse light part , idk y , just looks better. I do have a reverse camera, I’ll get yo that in a bit.

Also used some blue form on the clear corners. Matched the paint almost perfectly. Was cool for a bit but ended up taking it off. Maybe once I color match the front I’ll redo it.
Plastidipped the jdmastar switchbacks, including the rear led bulbs also. Had an issue with the previous switchbacks and at one point was only running one pair. But now I’m back to two pair.

Took a chance and bought some 03-06 w/t center caps with oem lugs. These are mock ups pics, this was right before I sold them so I never got to run them like this. But I have to admit the looked pretty slick. Gave it that oem look plus the appearance of a deeper dish wheel. Would’ve been the only set I’ve ever seen like this. Oh well

You know I can’t be basic with the lighting on any of my vehicles. This was a - just cause I was bored mod . The hids took a crap so I replaced the highs and lows with 2in1 Auxbeam led 5000k headlights with built in Bluetooth rgb leds. So I have acrisp headlights but at meets I can change colors, strobe, fade, cross colors, all sorts of modes. Easy install except I had to cut up the core support to allow room for the bulb fans.
The led driving part is crazy bright, I get flashed at least once a night. The rgb part is also super bright, could almost use them as headlights.

Lol They’re rice, but I don’t care I love them and people always compliment them.
Last pic you can see the yellow led in the headlights vs the lamin-x film over white led in the fog lights
Also I did get rid of the billet grille, just wasn’t feelin the look.

Plastidipped the bowties on the center caps using blaze blue


Give you an idea how bright these rgb leds are

I was getting tired of being flashed and I’m sure other drivers were tired of my headlights, so I put on some light smoke air release tint from vivvid over the low beam section. Toned down the glare and I can still see plenty. It’s a bandaid and it’s fine for now. I know what you’re thinking, but I’m the same Dave from before, I already have a set of lights opened up with brackets and I’m just deciding on projectors and design I want for a retrofit, including matching signals. Until then bare with me and my lame headlight set up lol.
