You can also check the link at the bottom to see all the other pictures... I'm currently in the market for a rebuilt nv3500 for a 1996 dodge ram 1500, MT 4x2, 5.2L engine!

Today I installed a set of 24" l.e.d. Strips under my door, they are really bright and light up when ever one of the doors are open.

Ill get some pics when it gets darker, now I dont have to worry about jumping out of my truck into a mud puddle!

Heres a pic of the light strip itself, I ran the wire through a hole in the bottom of the door, there is actually alot of room between the bottom of the door and top of the door jam.

I installed a set of Grover Emergency Horns. I think they need a rebuild kit though cause they sound like crap. Got a 100w speaker to install my siren that I can't use lol.
