    Here's my truck with the new LED corner bulbs in.

    First pic is corners and headlights on
    Second pic is just corners
    Third pic is a random wire i found when looking around under the hood. It's not plugged into anything. any idea what it's for? (my first thought was that maybe my truck is prewired for cruise?)

    I like it
    This truck is a work truck - not a lot of fancy mod's here, but it's getting the job done!
    It tracks 20 - 50 different things for our trucks... go here and plug in your truck info and it will give you an estimate of what you'll be able to track with it..

    I got it for the tachometer feature - My truck just has the dummy lights and heat/speedo/gas gauges - I was going to replace the dash with one that has a tach, but I can't find for under 80 bucks, so I figured this would work just as well, plus give me all the other benefits.

    See above - it's not "necessary" just nice to have...

    ^^THIS^^

    I ordered it straight from the ultragauge website - I'm not sure if you'll find anywhere else or cheaper anywhere else either... Their website is here: ULTRAgauge.com

    I love my LED's...bright as hell. Now I need to do an HID conversion or some round eyes because my stock head lamps are ugly compared to the LED's.

    I got my LEDs on ebay for like $4. They are 10-diode bulbs

    They are like one of the only really good aftermarket head lights that us 95-97s can get. Just google them. They are HIDs.

    Meh, not imo....

    I plan on running a custom shackle over the frame to get more travel and that's probably going to be 13 or 14 inches long. :)

    Kinda like this:
