    MTNative, will you please give me the website or links of the blue dash lights, gear selector, and the dome lights? Ive been wanting to do this for a while and the job you did on yours made my mind up really quick on the color.

    Yoaterboater I ordered them from http://www.superbrightleds.com/vehicle_led_bulb_finder.php

    You will need the following:

    Dash: 4- WLED-xHP5
    Gear selector: 1- 74-xHP3
    Dome light: 1- UPCB-xWHP30-FES
    Map Lights: 2- 3022-xHP4.

    Thanks, it's been a fun build so far.

    Sounds like I might have to plan a trip back that way with the truck next summer. I'll keep you posted. Guess I will have to get the ARB tent before coming up. Damn, one more thing for the truck. :D

    Same problem here. I have a buddy that has some land up near Fayetteville that lets me take my son up there. Been looking a club around here but they are hard to come by.
    The dash wasn't hard at all. The only problem I ran into was that I didn't order the right lights for the A/C heater. There are three lights there and don't know what size they are. All in All it took about 45min.

    That sucks but I know what you mean, I've had several stands stolen off of private property and clubs. I'm liking the LED's but miss not being able to turn on the dome light with the ignition off. Have to figure out how to rewire that so it will work.

    Got me a topper thanks to Mark aka "NWiTaco". :cool: Thanks again Mark and it was good meeting you. I'll get some better pics up this weekend as I'm out of town for the rest of the week. Also going to pick up a Yakima rack to mount my load warrior on.

    As it is as of Sept '11.jpg

    Dang man, we've got twin trucks almost (except for the color). Same topper and everything. Looking good.

    you mentioned getting a Yakima rack to mount your load warrior..... If you can find a pair of Thule load bars you can do what I did with some cheap conduit wall brackets. I got my load bars for free from a friend, drill a couple holes, painted the conduit brackets and bolted them through the load bars and around the bars on the Snugtop.

    This is when I first put them on before I painted the bars on the snugtop.

    _MG_1918_7988d9734f455b35878f39620228bc58c218adff.jpg

    now the bars and brackets are black.

    One last thing, you mentioned that the Bushwackers were a PITA to install. You can explain? I'm thinking of getting a set and I'm intersted to know what's involved. TIA

    Box Rocket, Thanks and you have good looking truck. Yes they are just about twins. :cool: I have the Yakima Q clips and mounts just looking for the 48" bars. I am going to mount the load warrior over the cab. I like the idea of the Thule bars for the snug top. My plan is to put an ARB tent on top of the shell. That should give me enough storage. As for the fender flares I would say go for it. The only issue I had was just the tedious BS of havingto screw 2 rubber sleeves onto each of the bolts before mounting. I like the fact that now I have a couple more inches to the front and rear of the wheel wells. Should be getting new tires next. :D

    As it sits today. I will take Box Rocket's idea and paint the bars on the shell. I have also found a great deal on a new set of shoes, either 285/75-16's or 305/70-16's for under $500, with mine as trade.
