    Ya... I am not looking forward to doing mine. I mean, I have taken the door panels off of every truck I have ever owned so I figure it won't be a big deal but it is always a time consuming process. I really want to paint my tweeter rings blue (trying to get rid of all the silvery trim) so I figure i'll just do the arm rests too while I am there. It is only a matter of time before I get the fabric filthy.

    Has anyone put a LED light bar on their truck yet? I was thinking of getting a 12" bar and mount it on my Westin bumper.

    Oh plus just ordered some LED dome lights from ebay, see how those turn out.

    Yep. 21" on my bumper. I would look at the Trek Light group buy. I think it's on for another day or so.

    21", nice. I'll probably have to wait a month or so for the light. I'm going to pay off Mr. Marv for my sub box this Friday then still pay to get my leaf's put on when I get back into town.

    Yeah... I didn't want to play with bondo. So thin lip it was! And i like the grillcraft look a little better. So this way I got to save money and have the look I like :D I consider it a win.

    I see you went all out on buying LEDs. At first when I saw your name on the gb list you were getting 18"

    I would have gotten the 36'' XT spot for my roof rack if I didn't already have the 21'' on my bumper.

    So does the LED bar make a major difference at night?

    I'll take pics and post them up tonight. I have a few already but they don't really show it well. I have retrofitted HIDs already so it's hard to say how much brighter it is than a set of stock headlights. But it does fill in the front of the truck very nicely. It's just a flood pattern.

    Ok cool, thanks Mike. I really need to make one of the meets but they seem to happen when I'm out of town.
