    Toothpick worked great for me. Spin it and it winds it up together.

    This was my first mod, under hood lights. I had the LED strip lights left over from my gun safe mod I did last winter. Picked up the switch and wire from Amazon. Thanks to Beeradd's excellent tutorial and video this was a fun little project.

    My first Mod had the truck leveled. Then I Debadged it. Just got done cutting mud flaps down and put back on. Next mod ordering Wet Okoles. And then Lux tonneau cover in white. And probably wait till spring for nerf bars and SR8 Wheels.

    Nice. Those wet okoles are pretty cool. Hadn't heard of them. Which leveling kit did you use? The SR8 wheels are sweet.

    My first mod was the fog light anytime. Always wanted to do it on my frontier but never did. Figured I'd start out with that. +10 for the redline hood struts btw. They are awesome

    Yeah it even comes off by rubbing with your finger but it's still nice not to have to. Love that WD-40 stuff ;)

    Have you any side pics of the truck? I'd like to at least level mine but getting an extra inch or two would be nice. You like the 5100's. They are the shit from what I'm reading.
