Yeah AJOSHI91 Thanks, I used the Nightshades spray on them. One thing I can recommend on it is a little bit goes along way. I first taped off the reverse lights, sprayed one coat, took off the tape and 2 more coats, so a total of 3 and then clear coated them. Although I think they look a lot darker in the pictures than what they really are. I also did the front parking lights, same steps only two coats of nightshades. Here is a link that I used the same steps on youtube:

How much light shines through? they do look really dark and thats why i ask how many coats you applied. I think i might go with only 2 coats. just to give them a dark look you know? and as far as the front head lights go i want to have clear lights where the yellow/orange lights are now. you know the bottom portion you smoked out? how do people get those cleared out?

BTW your durango looks great all clean and what not. Those tires and the lift make it look real rugged. you need to get a grill guard to help with the off road look you've got goin on!
I do have pipes, but i had to cut them off not to long ago. They have rusted beyond repair, so i'm saving to have a new set made. You think it roars with the pipes? Try straight off the Flowmaster....lol. It rattles windows.

Your pipes look great, you'll be happy with them.

Yeah ? you running open muffler now? well i do have the 4.7l lol i got some sound clips of my durango up. i'll post some videos for you guys.

I may have to do that once the duals get old. just cut it all off and put my flowmaster super 10 right after my cat converter than run it open. may get some exhaust fumes in the windows but i think I'll be alright lol!

Yeah I took them off to spray, it's really easy I think only 1 or 2 screws. I would also recommend to tape off the back side of the of the taillight, like the dark black plastic so you don't get over spray on them...

Yeah, i think i might just have to do that sometime. how long does it take to dry and put them back on for use? i might have to spray them sooner. take em off and bring em to the basement maybe.

Well I live in Florida and the temp. is warmer here but I put a coat on waited 5-10 min. another coat 5-10 min. I put 3-4 coats of clear coat and waited 5-10 min in between the clear coats as well. I probably waited about an hour and they were dry. I put them back on carefully, and didn't wash the truck or anything for about a week, to let them harden. How hard was it to do your T&S Lift? Did you do it yourself?

Alright. yeah I'm gonna do that soon then. and the lift isn't that hard to do. i didn't bother to do it myself because i didn't have the tools and stuff to do it but its just taking on off the hitch to get to the shackle bolts and switching them out. I think there are some how to directions on here somewhere. ask hydra to send you a link to the directions. its actually easy to do.
