    Now waiting on another set to come in, then as soon as my paycheck goes through I'll ordered a CARR Light Bar and mount all four lights on the roof. Hopefully it will be done next Saturday!

    Truck looks good man! What kind of light bar are you looking for to put the four lights on? One that goes in the bed like a roll bar? Also I think that truck would look sick with an Elite bumper lol just sayin :D

    Yeah, I might do that someday down the road, but for now it works!

    I got a Carr Low profile light bar. I wanted a rollbar, but couldn't find one around here. But the light bar looks good as well, finished mounting everything up today. They are insanely bright for just two! I'm ready to get my other set in Monday! And yes, I want an Elite bumper so bad! Anybody wanna give me a loan??? Haha I may go get a loan for one as a birthday present to myself (have to be 18 to get a loan in TX. Also would be a good way to build credit for myself) :D

    That thing looks nice where did you get it? The reason I asked is because I have a roll bar that I have yet to modify to fit in my truck. You know getting a loan would not be a bad thing sit down and get all your finances together get you a personal loan for a year or two and it is a great way to start off.

    Thanks, got the bar and mounting kit on Amazon for $121. Normally it's about $170. Yeah, I was going to get a $300 loan for my tires, but they wouldn't allow me to because I'm 17. By the time I'm 18 in November I'll only need probably about a $300-$500 loan. Only things I need money for is gas, phone bill, and maintenance. So I wouldn't have any problems with paying back the loan.

    No, but I will take some pics after school today. It should work on a canopy.

    I'll also take some pics at night, although I can't guarantee how good they'll be from my phone.

    I think it would work, just put quick disconnects in your wiring. No pics of the way it's mounted or how bright they are yet, sorry. But here are some random pics, the other black and red covers came in today...

    Also got rid of my old Gander Mountain sticker and put a KC one in its place.

    Just calculated everything I've payed for on my truck not including gas, and so far I've spent a total of about $2,650 in exactly one year come Monday.... :facepalm: Gotta love it! Oh, and none of that came from mommy and daddy! Working for my shit! :D

    Yeah you're right! I love how they look, but I'm not sure if it's worth it or not. Because now I have those kc's that I use when nobody is in front of me lol

    Hmm, if you get it painted black and give me about $2000, then yeah! :D

    Well, the good works going to have to stop for a while... I was driving down the road about 25mph, when all the sudden my left front end drops and starts grinding on the pavement, then next thing I know the front of my truck gets launched into the air and I land really hard back onto the road... What I think happened was that the ball joint to the tie road come out and the tire turned left and locked up against the fender. From the abrupt stop it yanked my wheel, tire, brakes, and cv out all at once...

    Yeah... Looks worse than it is though. Mainly just ball joints, cv, and brake lines.


    Actually wasn't those that failed, it was the tie rod... Got it replaced about 6 months ago too.
