Well its been a while since I've been on here, I had the replace the brake booster and master cylinder, then the next week it started to over heat so I replaced the radiator and thermostat and it runs fine, now the ac doesn't work! But ill try to figure that out next week but I got a coupon for 2 100 watt lights from harbor frieght for 17$ so I plan on buy 4 lights and mounting 2 on the bumper and 2 on the back for reverse lights, more picture will be posted once I get the lights!

nice man looks good !!

i know there was alittle talk about HIDs and unless you convert your truck to a 98 or up front clip (well just the headlights lol) you cant get projector headlights...they dont make them (yet...lol) they have them for sealed beams but not composite (like both our headlights)
but..you can still put HIDs in...but on coming traffic and cars in front of you will hate your guts, trust me lol i have 10k HIDs and not alot of people like them around here atleast.
keep up the nice work man!!

A few updates: Got some HiDs 6000k and cant figure out how to put them in without removing the grill, then my pinion seal broke from grass getting in it (it was a SOB to replace), then I went mudding and got stuck, and then today I pulled my buddys mountaineer out of some ruts.

The grass that messed up my pinion seal
