look at my use for junk lights
here's i project i though some people would enjoy. it is so when you hook to a trailer or back at night, you can see whats around you. hehehe
it cheesy but it was free i had it all lying around and couldn't use it on anything.

I did the same some time back. Mine can swivel 180 degrees so I can point them in any direction I need to. In addition to being good for night time trailer hookups, they are also great for when you need emergency light under your truck. I used them one night coming back from elk hunting when a kicked up rock on a back country road broke my abs sensor. Made seeing what was going on super easy.

Dude, tighten up that spare tire.
I did the same thing on mine too but I put skid plates on them to block the water when driving in the rain and to keep them from getting ripped off.

This is a very simple and well implemented solution. Very nicely done.

[QUOTE]Dude, tighten up that spare tire./QUOTE]
i know i keep forgetting to it doesn't even fit the truck. my truck has 16r70/205 and thats a 16r75 305 or something like that.
for the wiring i did try to clean up it was a mess but all the wiring a mess on my truck. need to rewire my 4 prong, but lack of funds.
silver that looks sweet and how'd you do that rear end. i just primed and painted my rearens chrome but yea look like crap.

If I were you I would get a used tire that matches to put on that rim.
Does it even fit if you tighten it up though? My 265/70/16 spare barely fits between the hitch and the exhaust.
For the wiring you could get some zip ties and some liquid electric tape and that will clean them up enough to not get snagged by something.
The liquid electric tape would be for the butt connectors to keep the water out.

Ya, another guy on here (padodgeram) did that to his truck, and I liked it so much I copied him. I replaced the stock bolts with stainless allen head bolts. They are 5/16-18 x 3/4, with a locking washer. I think it makes the stock cover just look a little nicer.
