    Installed some courtesy lights underneath the truck. The install was super easy if you know the basics of electrical. I tapped into the dome light wire ground and power from battery with a inline fuse of course; this allows it to come on when I hit lock and unlock on my key fob and when the door is ajar.

    This looks awesome. How much of a pain was it to tap into the dome lite?

    It wasn't too bad, just a really tight space to work in. I had tapped the ground from where the interior fuse box, there is a bunch of wires going to a black box that's right above the fuse box that's where I tapped in. I'll post a picture of it later today.

    So I was driving to my local gun range in the forest to try out my new AR-15 and I had almost gotten myself stuck in some deep mud puddle. Lol didn't do too bad for a 2wd truck. The tires helped a lot. Haha this is the outcome..:D First time I actually gotten her this dirty.2017-10-29 11.05.19 1.jpg 2017-10-29 11.05.22 1.jpg

    Nice truck. How are you liking the 255s? Any noticeable power loss turning a taller, heavier tire?

    Trying to decide if I would need to regear with those tires to pull my trailer or if it'd be okay.

    I like them a lot! Quiet, good handling and traction on road. There was no power loss for me. It's a lot better then having 285s or even 35s on there. I fill my bed up with probably 1800-2000lbs every week and she does just fine.

    Haha Asian Redneck.
    Sweet truck, every time I see a Spruce, I kinda wish I'd gotten one. Sweet color, it's kinda like having two colors black and Spruce.

    Have you looked for some used ones on CL. they don't hold much value; you find a used one for about 600.
