That turned out nice.

Did you move the power outlet from the dash to that panel in the knee panel? And that cubby there.... I don't think I have ever see one like that..... Is that from the 98.5 and newer trucks???

That cubby is there on the manual trucks as the cup holder would be useless

Finally got a new grille emblem and slapped it on. OH and I fixed my steering play! Finally drives nice again after 10 years of sawing at the wheel

Painted my turn signals and added some led bulbs to the headlights. Also put a new drivers side seat cushion in a few days ago. I'm definitely sitting up higher and my back feels better, but I thought the left side of the cushion would give a little more support than it is. Might go back in and add some extra cushion to that part somehow. Maybe I should have bought the $125 seat instead of the $50 one.

I did the LED route myself! The turn signals are switchbacks so when they’re on, they’re white but when you turn the signal on, they blink amber. Ya know, like the new cars do?

I run switchbacks too! my mechanic almost wouldn't pass my inspection. my headlight bezels are one piece and no yellow or crystaled lenses. the only yellow lights I have left are the 5 clearance lights on top.
how did you paint your turn signals? take the bezels apart and paint the parabola reflector?

i popped them out, washed and degreased, then dried off. Hit them with 800 grit, wiped off, hit with 1000 grit, degreased again. Then adhesion promoter x2, then krylon transparent tangerine x5, then clear coat x3. I didn't buff them but might later. With the lights off it's kind of a light orange, but I still like it better than the clear lens. The orange LEDs are what makes them bright. That was done on outside of lenss

Damn it, I forgot to turn on my fog lights too.
