Installed my LED cargo lighting last night. Really happy with the outcome, should be perfect for camping and icefishing.

Finally added a much needed roar to the truck. Thrush Turbo

Slick looking truck! You're the best thing that ever happened to it. Love seeing these trucks brought back from the brink.
Did you put LEDs in the factory cargo lights too? They look seriously bright.
Nice job Schmidtp!

Thanks! I actually hardwired in LED panels for the brake lights and cargo lights. They have came in handy multiple times already at night to illuminate the bed. About $15 compared to the expensive LED replacements that are not even as bright.

Recently had a large piece crack and fall off my dash which gave me the itch to fix it. I'm far too cheap to spend $400 on a new dash, or even $200 for a cover. Time to break out the fiberglass and bondo.

Ended up going with a suede wrap since I wasn't satisfied with the textured finish. Will post up some pictures when I get it in today.
