    Installed a tailgate net today so I could take my tailgate off to the take care of some rust issues. I'm really liking the look and better visibility with it so far. I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow. New skids will be next!

    What diameter are the coils up front? Any pics or any idea how close the UCA comes to them during articulation/droop?

    Thanks:cool:

    Sorry I'm just now seeing this. Are you talking about with the stock UCAs or my current LR UCAs? The coils are the eibach springs that come the the toytec C/Os and I don't think they're very close to contacting the UCAs.

    It was good! I'll have to upload the pics I took too lol

    Thanks man. They work very well, especially where they are mounted. I would have to say they are brighter than my stock headlights lol.

    I got your drift finally though. Buy the HF stuff, just fix/improve it a little.

    Did you have your aux rear lights hooked up so that they came on when you put the truck in reverse? Been wanting some bed lights myself since I put the tubegate on.

    HF's...all around!

    Exactly, the light housing are pretty good so just replace the wiring and bulbs and you're good to go.

    I do not, I have them set up as reverse lights and as a bed/work light since our trucks don't come with one in the third brake light like other trucks. Some modified HB lights would be perfect for bed lights for you. They're really cheap too so if you break them it's not a big deal lol.

    Do something cool to this truck for a change, jeez.

    :D

    But for reals, got anything planned?

    Built the truck up great, more to come or do you think it's at that perfect spot?

    I'm working on it lol. I've been busy with school, work and my new internship!

    I'll keep building it up of course, will never be done. Maybe a winch and/or a tube gate to replace my tailgate/tailgate net and have a better place to mount my spare. 35s will go on when these 33s wear out a long time from now, oh and a regear! I've got plans, I just don't have the means to do them :(

    I really need a welder...and to learn how to weld.

    Another awesome build that I should be subbed to! :thumbsup:

    Question, what percent tint did you get the front windows? They seem to match the back windows pretty well.

    Thanks! :D

    The front windows are 15% and the back windows have 5% stacked on the factory tint. I were to do it again I would leave the back stock or a little darker and keep 15% up front though. The back windows are a little too dark visibility wise at night but the front windows and windshield are fine at night.

    Oh, okay. I'm trying to figure out what percentage the back windows are stock so I can match the fronts. I would like 15% all the way around but I'd be better off just getting 35% or 20%

    I think the stock rears are 15% or 20% so I would go with 15% or 20% personally. I had 35% up front for a bit and it wasn't dark enough for me by the way

    Okay, I'll probably go with 20% then. Thanks!
