    You'll never get Jerry to make a skid (or anything else) that fits on your truck. If you want that skid, you'd have to do what ever it is needed to make it work.

    I would have probably bought one of the ones on the shelf if timing had been different. I know Jerry throws that out every time this comes up.

    This is what I've done in the last 2.5 years... (+ lots of things done you can't see in the pic)

    Sorry if the timing of me being ready for a diff skid didn't coincide with other people's time line.

    That’s a lot of wire

    Can you explain all that the eyes? Thinking about doing this but don’t know what I want yet.

    Yeah it’s a lot of wires and each ring has its own harness. The more things you add to it the more wire you’ll have. It depends on which shroud you use. Demon eyes just add A glow to the actual projector lens. A lot of the rings have a switch back option so you can connect Your turn signals to them. Find a shroud that you like and contact LED concepts, technical support. They should be able to tell you about everything you need to make it work.

    Had to take apart my passenger side cv axle again after my install last weekend because the seal was leaking, replaced the seal and all is well.

    IMG_20200606_113246.jpg

    Drove the seal in the rest of the way using the axle, worked like a charm.

    IMG_20200606_122401.jpg

    Afterwards I put my blown out STMaxx to good use and made a tire swing for my nephew

    Since I’m in this deep I decided to pull the injectors and send them in for cleaning Monday.
    The tips look pretty dirty

    Painted up the frame yesterday and just put the bed back on. No bumper, hitch, tonneau cover or tools in the bed = large rake. Almost ready to get it painted.
