I got these ones, cant go wrong for a whopping thirteen smackeroos.

They will work great in the dark, I imagine in the daytime you could just bump up the bulb inside for a CREE LED or something. I havent opened up the lights yet to see whats inside. They make an image about 20 inches wide at 18 inch off the ground. Im happy with them just how they are. So I got 4 for the Yukon too. Im just gonna tap them into the lights in the door that go on when it opens up. The yukon has lights in all 4 doors. I think I might get 2 more and add them on the trucks front and back so they project on the ground whenever the headlamps are on... I dunno, have to see.

Here is a video of what they look like on someone elses car.

Got all my interior parts and tail lamps from the paint shop today. Looks sweet. Next weekend I will be able to pick up the roll pan and RST spoiler.

Finally no more of that silver that doesnt match anything else on the truck allover the interior. The dash, steering wheel inserts, gauge bezzle, and all the small mouldings that go around stuff like cup holders and window/lock switches are the same color as the truck. My brother did the same to his 3500 dodge diesel Laramie interior, and it looks sick on his too.

Got the rollpan on this weekend. Too busy to add the LED light bar to the crack betweek tailgate and rollpan... The body shop apprentice wasnt told there was a spoiler to paint too, so he only did the rollpan this week. They will have the spoiler next weekend. Arghhh... Why they didnt do the wing, rollpan at the same time they did all the interior parts is beyond me. Ah well, at least Im not the one that has to mix the same color 3 times, and clean the guns 3 times all on the same job...

I know it should be mounted up about another 3/4" but I needed to leave room for the LED taillight bar to keep er legal. The LED taillights are not as easy to see as the painted stockers were unless you are straight behind the truck.



Loving the "Dodge Ram" look I cut into the rollpan so I could run FAAAAAT tips


Next weekend - install RST spoiler... install LED tailgate bar... Clay bar both trucks... Shine my chrome for summmertime.

In the next months:
Remove SPYDER headlamps for the dual halo mod
Finish the lighting mods on the new grill
add the laser emblems to the doors on both my trucks
Install the second foglamps in the new grill
Install all my green lighting (underglow and backlighting)
Find some steel to make 3" hitch drop brackets so I can have a hitch again

Your truck is looking sweet. I really like the painted interior parts, and I'm interested to see how the LED tailgate bar workes out. They look nice, but I've seen a lot of them around the city with half the LED's not working. I'm guessing that it's related to the horrible pavement and potholes we have up here. The dual exhaust mufflers and Ram style roll pan look awesome. I've wanted to do something similar with my Durango for quite a while. As for the hitch tubing, have you checked Princess Auto? They usually carry several different gauges of steel tubing, and might have what you're looking for.

Not hitch tubing, I have my stock hitch still, but it required that I butcher that rollpan, or use a sctreet scene hidden hitch (thats what the square hole is for where the lic plate goes). The hidden hitch would have raised my hitch another 3 inches, and my little trailer already sits nose up behind the truck with the lift. So what Im gonna do is go to the scrap metal yard and buy two 18 inch long peices of 3" c-channel to make the srop brackets with and some new grade 8 hardware. Then the c-channel goes between the frame rails and hitch mounts, thus dropping the hitch the width of the channel peices so it will stick out below the rollpan. Then my little trailers nose will be 3 inches lower and actually sit level behind the truck.

I got the LED light bar off ebay. Its not LEDs, its SMDs, I find they are alot more reliable than the LEDs are. I think it was about $50 and plugs into a 4wire hitch plug. Its pretty nice quality from what I see, Ill have to put it on and see how it all ends up.

So it's an led projector that's called a 'laser projector?' Which is it? It can't be both.

Well, I got the LED tail strip in finally, and hooked up the lic plate lights and removed the tinted cover. The police in Camrose (My new town) really took an instant dislike to my truck the FIRST night I stayed out here...

El Beautor is right, I had a few dead LEDs. They just had to warm up, there is only a single dead spot now. I will be contacting the seller about this, or just getting a better one.
