A while back I put these wheels on the truck, after having them on the Vader S10. I had to much rub with the offset wheels when running the plow. It looks good. I also recently painted the bedliner white (got some exterior high durability paint and rolled it... hope it holds up good). I painted the front bumper and grill gloss black. I didn't clear coat anything yet.

Ordered a set of these as well:

I've seen a few reviews saying the openings for the lights are too small, and one person said water leaked inside. We will see the quality of the lights when they get here! The tail lights are for the S10.

Everything fit nice. Reminder to self for next time: don't remove the protective plastic on the lens until AFTER installing because you'll scratch the lens up because you're a clumsy idiot. I also used black caulking to seal the back of the light around the edges to prevent water and moisture from getting inside. I ordered some amber LED's for the signals so they are brighter.

I'm seriously thinking about throwing flares on, but it's beyond my know-how at the moment.

Looks good, dude.

DonL and Warthog driver have some good write ups for the flares. I will also be attempting to put flares on mine this summer.

I like those headlights! The contrast of the white and black are great!

Take a look on here for some write ups on the flares, they aren't as hard as you think. Just time consuming to do it right.

LED's are in! Much better visibility. Does anyone know what kind of bulb the smaller one is?

Those are sweet signals, wonder if they come with a dog light hole... or maybe retro fit it in.

Thanks, they are not 100% complete yet, but summer is coming and I'll finish them up soonish lol. ..

I have a few sets of aftermarket signal housings laying around, and toyed with putting a fog light hole in that empty area.

My next idea was to relocate the stock fog lights else where...behind the grill, or maybe onto a bravada bumper.

I gave up all this dreaming when I found the set I'm running now...APC's with the fog light.

By the way, I think the smaller bulb is a 194.
