    Yeah, haven't had any problems. I get them rotated and balanced every 5k miles and no problems.

    Hey, where'd you get your lug nuts for those wheels? Also, install that third brake light?

    The lug nuts I got off ebay. I got the brake light in, just haven't had time to install it yet. Maybe this week or weekend.

    Thanks! And, yeah, they make bedrail pieces that slide back that but they were kind of a bitch for me so I just got a hex head bolt that would fit in the track and mount from there.

    They're same thread size as the factory studs but I think they were the acorn style

    Hey, how'd you change the window switch LED and what LED did you use? Looks good

    I think I used either a 3mm or 5mm dome style LED. Just took the circuit board out, desoldered the existing LED and resoldered the new one. Did the same on the clock area for the passenger side airbag light. I was timid about it at first since I hadn't soldered anything like that in like 15 years but it was actually quite easy. The speedometer LED's on the other hand I had Jerez do those. I don't have the patience for soldering LED's that small, lol. I think the window switch LED took like 5 minutes. 2 minutes to disassemble, 30 seconds to solder and 2.5 minutes to reassemble and install.

    Thought about doing the green oracle lights for the headlights and fogs but don't think I'd get as much use out of them. I will however eventually do a full interior light mod for the cup holders, under the dash and seats, etc.

    I just picked up a cheap solder and desolder iron from radio shack, I think $30 for both. I ended up ordering a shit load of the green LED's, if you want some and I can find them (not sure where they went after I moved) I can mail you some for free in a standard envelope. Just let me know.

    Yeah, let me go check. I think I ended up buying like 20 bulbs for around $4 from China. Did the mod 2 years ago and still no problems.

    They were right where I thought they were and I have 4 5mm green LED dome bulbs I can wrap up in a napkin and mail them to ya if you'd like. Just pm me a name and address and I can get them in the mail today.

    Hey, I saw you said you liked the warden tires, but how's the road noise with them and how are they on the highway and such? I may get some of those and maybe a new set of wheels to save some money
