    I managed to hook up the color changing demon eyes today, it’s safely installed but rigged the routing, which I will do better when I’m not in pain lol

    Looking really good, wiring stinks. Think ya just bruised your rib or crack now that you felt it for a bit? I cracked one of mine years ago. Do not to ever go through that again. I feel for ya.

    The pain is still about the same, can’t take a deep breath at all. I’ve broken ribs before when I was younger but this one is right below my chest near the sternum. I took today off work so I can re coup but I’ll be back tomorrow pain or not lol.

    Sorry Nik! I only bruised a rib last riding season and it took a solid 3 months for the pain to go away

    Ouch! I was in a daily struggle with pain for mine about 3 months as well. No fun bud, sorry for your troubles. You need to conjure up a funny fake story to tell people, then give them the truth lol.

    Haven’t updated in a while

    Finally got the halos wired up with the demon eyes

    Got some custom plates which I’ve always wanted :)

    And then I backed into my shop bay door, it wasn’t open enough. Scratched the roof and dented under the third brake light. The whole roof will be repainted in a couple weeks. I’m debating on a black roof, thoughts??

    I’m already running the led bulbs in it and I do have to order another factory back half housing for the third since it got bent. It comes with the red lens, send me a link on what lens you’re talking about. I’m also interested in the brake lights like you’re running! Link me up bro

    @ChadsPride this is the only pic on google I could find for a black roof on silver taco. It looks sick af on your white truck but I’m torn on what to do since it has to get painted lol. My only big worry is the Texas heat with black roof

    I'm sure paint will stand up better than vinyl but I'm concerned about heat as well.

    Yeah, even with the reflective sun shield in the front window it still gets pretty damn hot.

    Truck looks good, sorry about the roof. Does not look horrible from the pic. I wouldn't go black with the TX heat as well. Plus the resale down the road thought to. Loving the plate and headlights.

    OMG!!! That looks so clean
    I'm lucky enough to have covered parking at home and work so the heat hasn't really bothered me yet.

    Born and raised in this heat :D
