  1. So... Haven't posted in what feels like a decade, so here's the rundown... Replaced every single bulb on the truck with led's... Including these which are the headlights from Mr. hid here in town...LOVE THEM! Also installed the Spyder lightbar headlights, but have now put the stocks back on while these are being rebuilt with a total of 4 led concepts Halo's and retrofitting a mini h1(I believe) projector in the high beam. Also added an Xtreme Led 52", 10", and 2x 3" cubes with color morph led concepts halos. (Haven't put the halos in anything but the cubes yet...damn you work!) haha and also replaced the turn signal/ Sid marker bulbs with led switchbacks that are white but go Amber when your turn signal or emergency lights are on...pretty sweet! Picture from inside the bay while we were working on the 52"! By the way, I used those ridiculously expensive gutter mounts from N-FAB...worth the money. They're waaaaaaayyyyy thicker and much better looking than any of the others I've seen...and they're powder coated, not painted which is a definite plus since I paid right at $200 for them. Amidst all this work, the wife got me a new timepiece...been wanting this thing since I was a kid! That's not really that long ago considering I'm 25 but it felt like forever haha! Back to the truck pictures... We got what people around here consider "a bunch of snow" lol so I had a little fun in the mall crawler... And then...the last 2 amps I've been waiting for finally showed up for a total of 3...2x DC Audio 1.2k's and a DC Audio 90.4! That being said...I'll just leave this here! haha! Can't wait for the suspension to get back from powdercoating! Later guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Did you post the YouTube video of the install? Does your truck say dropkick? If so your video showed me how to get mine out! Haha and no I haven't had any issues yet but they haven't been in long. For what I paid for them I don't expect any issues though, but who knows! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I got the spyders...they're awesome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. What'd that run if you don't mind me asking? I'm ordering a new one this week but I don't know what I want...that looks mean! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. 2014Sandylifted, are those the led light bar tails from spyder? If so, I just ordered a pair last week and haven't gotten them yet because of the holidays, can't wait though!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Is a pigs p**** pork?? Haha yes sir I do! http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/acrylic/universal/universal-led-acrylic-circle-one And to save you a bunch of time measuring the cupholder and converting to mm, mine were 76mm which is the biggest they come in, and they fit like a glove! If you need detailed instructions on the install let me know and I'll be more than happy to post some pictures with a step by step! Glad you like it! And I think the grilles are going to be super sick, now all I have to do is find a 12v wire that's ignition on in the doors! Gonna light all 4 and if that goes well I'm going to do the cupholder rings in all 4 door cupholders as well! Light her up! Whoooooo hahaha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. JRDUCKS, just thought I'd throw this out there now hoping you hadn't bought a bar off eBay yet, as I just saw your post! Go to XTREMELEDLIGHTS.COM! I got my 50", 30", 20", 10", and 10 3" pods from him. Names Tim Lyell and he's and awesome dude out of Memphis. There are some bad ass trucks with his bars on them out there! His bars are EVERY BIT AS SOLIDLY BUILT AS RIGID'S ARE, and I'd bet my truck and house on that fact! I got a little bit of a deal but I got my 50" spot flood combo for just under $300! Drove right to his house and picked it up. He's about to open an actual store front so he's got everything in his house right now but his bars are made in America for him only. They have his logo laser etched into the housing and are BRIGHT AS HELL! He's also got some funny ass switches that are led lit. I'm waiting on N-FAB roof brackets to get here so I can get mine mounted up, but trust me, they're some of the best out there! Check him out! If anyone want to DM me I have his cell so you can call directly and ask him anything you want to know! Good luck on your builds guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. digger, how did you light the little cubby hole in the back of the console? Obviously led strip but did you stick it at the bottom top or side? What did you run the 12v off of? I've been wanting to do mine since I saw yours! I'm also going to light the speaker grills in mine instead of the footwells, seems like everyone's doing that now, and I feel like the grills will look nasty in color morph!!!

  9. Well I had her all cleaned up...but then... Installed 6000k led fogs from Diodedynamics.com https://vimeo.com/115149595 Wrapped accent pieces matte black, as the first step, next they will receive another wrap in white with the design I'm playing with. waiting on my spyder led light bar headlights, tail lights and 3rd brake lights to get here so I can throw them on! also installed an AntennaX Shorty 5" billet antenna (Sorry for the terrible picture and DIRTY ASS truck! Haha) put a new decal on my rear view haha and yes I can still see... And last but not least... Got my 3rd cupholder ring from diodedynamics.com Unfortunately it was the wrong color for some reason and they'll fix it tomorrow morning. This is the only order that hasn't been fast and perfect with them, and even still, it's such a minor thing it doesn't even bother me, they get your stuff out to you in 2 days usually, at least that's been my experience. And for anyone wondering my windows are 15%...including the entire front windshield...come get me coppers! Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Yeah, I guess the handles aren't too terrible on a fully loaded Sierra, but that chrome fuel door just makes me want to smash my face into a wall LOL but even on the handles you have to have a nice chrome grill, which most people don't have when they put Chrome crap all over their truck, so they look way out of place, a lot of trucks look like they went through the "custom" Isle let AutoZone and put one of everything on it! Haha all they're missing is a set of chrome letters that says their last name or "special edition" lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I will definitely do a build thread! I didn't think anyone gave a damn about little ol me or my goofy little truck hahaha I'm kidding! I'll start one this weekend when I get home from work, and let me see if I have any on the new phone or IG account...got hacked a little while back and had to get new social media sites. Weak as water. If not I've definitely got some framed at the house in the man cave so I can upload those when I make the build thread if I don't have any others. I don't do the whole "down people's rides" thing because everyone is different, and this truck is clean...flat out. Love it. But I have to ask what everyone's fascination with chrome door handles and fuel doors is. They just completely throw it off for me. Paint matched is the way to go IMO. But again, to each his own![emoji108][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Guys, anyone put led replacement bulbs in? Got a plethora of LED bulbs laying around and I'm gonna throw them in the stock heads and tails until my OEM projectors get back from FAST. The reason I ask is because I'm wondering how they look under the amber portions of the headlights and red taillights...any one got some pictures for me? I figure they'll be noticeably brighter but how much brighter can they be?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Basically I've had the truck for a year now and I have not bought myself anything that wasn't build related or put back for wheels in that year… I haven't even gone out to eat other than a few times for special occasions. Every single dime that hasn't been spent on the bills has been used for parts. When I leave work Saturday morning I'll stop by the storage unit and snap a few pics of everything. Yes, storage unit lol the wife got PISSED when our laundry room, guest bedroom and all but one closet were filled to the max with parts haha. I by no means have a huge house but that's still a ton of stuff lol so I figured it'd save an argument if I just got a unit to put it all into until I built the cash back up to get it moving. For now she's the back and forth to work or the duck lease truck...but soon!

  14. I was saying its a duck truck now lol and I did the diesel thing...trying something different this time. And as far as gears and such I started typing and got all that done and honestly just got plain worn out on the whole paragraph thing haha and there's a shop out of Roanoke Rapids, NC I'll be working with on the build, those guys are the workhorses, I guess you could say I'm the brains...well only if you consider spending almost 15k for wheels having brains haha but I'll definitely make some updates periodically to keep you guys posted. And as far as the forgi's and bumpers go, I'm tired of the same stuff on every truck at every show or meet, they are definitely off-road bumpers but they're VERY mild compared to most others you've seen. The last build I did took almost 2 years and roughly 35k over the cost of the truck. The saddest I've EVER been seeing a ford leave my driveway. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. @blackout07 why's that, good man? I'm very serious. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. @Chief bob, with backlit acrylic rings purchased from diodedynamics.com ran them under the cupholder portion of the console and spliced into the 12 V cigarette lighter inside. They look great! Everyone that gets in the truck comments on them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Discs not rings. Sorry for the double post guys! I'm new here! Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
