    Wow, that is low miles. Well done!

    Like what you did with the grill.

    Original owner of mine but well over 200k on odometer. Tried to take care of it over the years.

    Holy shit I love the lights! I assume just a scribe, cut, epoxy in type of deal? That's going on the list.

    Yea.... pretty much, maybe even less involved. Plan, cut, trim to size. No epoxy needed. Mounts to bottom grill shelf. Dremeled out radius of lights to fit into grill pocket and that's bout it.
