    Thanks

    You have Lou Malnati's out there? We have a couple around you. 1 pretty close.



    Pick up some air lockers and OBA. That will be even better!

    We don't have anything even remotely close to Lou's. After eating pizza there it pretty much ruined pizza for me here at home. Can't find a good Italian beef sandwich either. Carne asada burritos are all we got

    Food is one of the only positives to living in Illinois and near Chicago. I should box you up a pizza and ship it out to you. ;)

    Looking good in here Peter :spy:

    I have a question for you though: For the LED reverse lights you got, did you notice a significant difference in the actual light put out when you're in reverse? The pictures look a little different but I'm wondering about the area that is actually being lit up. I'm only asking because I have tinted windows and it's a pain to reverse at night unless I roll the windows down with the stock reverse lights. Thanks for any input.

    Matt

    I will get some pictures for you. I don't think they are really going to help. They seem real bright on a "close" wall or from behind but they throw light all over the place. I have 35% tints and the lights dont really help.

    I will use my good camera so you can actually see the light output difference. It might take me a couple days but I will shoot you a PM once I get them.

    In the mean time

    I would message AaronfArf on here has had a couple of different reverse lights. Shoot him a message he had LED's and switched to something else that worked better, but I am not sure what it was.

    His build thread

    Pshh we have the same stuff so far. You have skids don't you? That is next on my list. I really want to get them before I make the trip out to Moab. When are you going to start a build thread? I want to see some pictures of your beast!


    Thanks I am very pleased with it!

    The red emblems will look sick! You should paint your skids red too.

    I like having a build thread because it is an easy place to keep track of all the stuff I have done to & with the truck.
