    Greased slip yoke with Mobil 1 synthetic @ 125k mi. Put in a couple hose clamps so it is easier to remove the boot for the next greasing. I actually didn't need to replace the original clamp on the left (the smaller one), but I removed both before I took the drive shaft out so I had to replace both.

    Flares off and taped

    Lots of clips holding the flares and inner fender plastic. I broke half of them just taking them off.

    First cut on the flares.

    Now I need to cut and cap the steel bumper, bend the pinch weld, bolt the cab side bedside support on the rear. I have it zip tied right now which holds it in place, but needs to be more secure.

    The plastic serves as a barrier to keep the intake from stealing too much air from the vents.

    I would really appreciate it if you could get me a part number for the carling on-off-on switch you used for your driving light install. I cant seem to find one like that on Amazon and its totally the way to go for wiring up driving lights.

    I just checked the website I ordered from and they have no products listed! They used to have everything for carling switches (http://www.otrattw.com/products.php).

    I'll check my bookmarks when I get back to my laptop to see if I bookmarked other sources.

    Bummer about the website. I was hoping to get some winch switches to match.
