    Will look even cooler when finished! On Tuesday I’m adding a 14 gauge outer skin, and will sorta shape it to the door frame, and then paint it white. Will really help clean it up imo

    I really hate to hear this too. Getting old ain't for sissies thats for sure. I am waiting on call now for surgery for stomach repair. Don't think I will be getting in my lifted Taco for a while either. Good luck and thoughts and Prayers for continuing recovery.

    Not sure if they replied back to this as I’m like 6 pages behind, but this allows your fingers more purchase to help close the door so you don’t leave fingerprints on your newly washed/waxed paint. Kinda silly, but kinda cool at the same time.

    Hi, I bought the aftermarket yellow fogs for my truck. After a few weeks and driving in the rain and snow in Utah, condensation sets in. Removed the aftermarket and bought yellow film from ebay. Placed it on stock fogs and so far, they are holding up to the Vegas heat.

    (STOCK with yellow ebay tint.)

    These are the crappy aftermarket ones. I had to show the ebay seller that their product sucks. I can actually scrape their tint from the inside by just using a wet paper towel.

    (Aftermarket yellow fogs)

    Do they look like the factory lights or has the style been changed? Glass lense or plastic?

    Thanks for the input, unless I can figure out a way to keep the support brackets in place I think I will have to go the tint route.

    Today I fixed the passenger sight indicator light in the side view mirror. Clipped the mirror a while back, tore the back off and damaged the indicator light. Finally found a replacement part that didn't cost me an arm and a leg, swapped it out and re-connected it. Voila. Working. Balance has been restored.

    I went with 20% all the way around and on top of the privacy glass in the back. Nothing on the windshield. I wouldn't say i have any issues seeing at night. Oh and thank God I don't live in a state where they enforce window tint rules! Also if I do get pulled over, I always roll every window in the vehicle all the way down just to show that I have nothing to hide (weather permitting) I like to think its kept me out of a few tickets.

    I called a window tinting shop yesterday and that was what he recommended, 20%

    To tell you the truth am no really sure if Colorado has a law on window tinting.

    Thanks

    Get the Baja Designs kit! They are way brighter than oem and have held up really well to all of my Wasatch shenanigans no matter the weather.

    How do you like these? I've been looking to upgrade my fogs. Plug & play for factory fog button?
