Default New parts on the way.

So I had a grad party today got a new mac book and some cash. I was talking to laramie1997 some how talked me out of a 3" lift that I want. So i though well I'll get me some recon cab light( http://www.gorecon.com/product.php?p...99-02&p_cat=29) and a tailgate light bar. (http://www.gorecon.com/product.php?p...e+Bar&p_cat=26) Did some shopping got them shipped to my house for 145.. and change. I get paid this week and I think I lift is going to be coming as well.(http://www.topguncustomz.com/Store/G...iview=25474016) I'm going to get the add-a-leafs. My dad is going to put a boot in my ***. Tint might be in the works as well. I'm so HAPPY NOW!!!! Now I will be taking any other ideas for what I should do next. I plan to keep my 30" tires they should be fine I don't drive like a nut a lot. There 255/70/16X8 with a 4.03 back spacing so the truck should be stable. I just wanted to let everyone know. Question what should I put on the holes for the cab lights to seal them up so they wont leak? And greg/pc hit yr boy up we got holes to put in my roof. And jinx you can come watch if you ever get over it!!!! Thanks for putting up with me!!!

Rubber seals fail over time.

You need to use some silicone in the holes when you go to install all the wiring. Just a little extra precaution/insurance.

+1, we had a GMC work truck that had aftermarket cab lights with the rubber seals. A couple years later they started leaking and the headliner got wrecked. I dab of silicone in each hole should take care of that.

Get a tube of 100% silicone from any hardware store like lowes or home depot and you will be good to go. I reccomend the clear.
