    Well now that I have done some extra stuff in preparation for this weekend's meet in Huntsville, I installed an Aussie front diff locker, (Didn't have time to get the Yukon rear locker installed) and earlier this week/month I have replaced the cluster bulbs with blue LED bulbs, replaced the front marker bulbs with yellow LED bulbs, installed my bed lighting kit, which is RGB 5050 LED lights, and also installed my Kenwood head unit. Don't have time to take all the pictures right now since I still have to finish up Dave's 95 big ol Tacoma. On his I installed front and rear ARB air lockers, a Viair compressor, tank, and controls, a Yellow Top Optima battery, and we have recently installed OME rear leaf packs, extended shackles, new front coilovers (Can't remember the exact brand) and an ARB snorkel kit.

    If you still want them, they're yours. Just pay shipping.

    Here's the best pics I can get of them. The first two are of the worse cable. There's a few strands of the cable that have broken. The other one is in pretty decent shape.

    I finally got a BPV bracket! Painted it with bedliner and installed it. Also installed some Phillips Crystal Vision Ultra bulbs. Can't wait for it to get dark so I can see how bright they are!

    Put some new taillights on a few mins ago, They don't look as good as they should since all I did was swap the lenses and my old taillights are thrashed, hopefully tomorrow I'll get around to figuring out what I need to do to make the actual 01-04 tailights work
