It took about 45 mins to swap these out. In the rain too. Lol. It looks so damn good. Hopefully getting some more paint for the grille this week.

Looks great man. Can't wait to see the rest of the grill done

I had to bake the headlight to get it open and then install the Klearz lens. I did it at 235* for 18 mins. Put it in for 8-10 mins for a reheat when it started to harden up and I was scared to crack something. Lol.

I had blackouts on my first car and it was a pain to see. Everything I do now doesn't hinder the lighting output. That's why I went with the clear instead of the smoke. It's just personal preference.

 

Getting them separated was the hardest part, which wasn't as hard as it was nervousness.

On the inside of the lens you can see 2 small torx screws. Remove them and the black will separate from the clear lens.

You can see where they are plastic welded. I used a dremel and just removed the melted plastic to where the amber lens would just pop off.

Make sure to epoxy the Klearz in place on the backside and you're good to go! I put it on both sides of the lens just to be safe.

So how do you access the front camera? Also this doesn't come with the front camera you used correct?

 

Looking at this or one other option for adding a front camera.

well today I finally got around to doing my 1.5" MOTOFAB leveling kit and my MAGNUM rack came in too!!! The leveling kit was installed by a local shop and looks great! im very happy i didnt go with the 2" kit. the truck sits almost dead level in person but i want to measure it out. I may go with 1" lift blocks in the rear to keep a slight bit a rake since i like that look.

 

next up was my MAGNUM rack!! so please with the fit finish and quality! great product and super easy to install! dont waste your money paying a shop to do it! took me 30 mins and thats be uase i went slow under the truck running the wire harness neatly!

 

 

 

 

where did you get the rack from?

How the heck did you manage to rub through the rubber!?

You should see how beat up my old one is. I bought the truck used with only 17k miles. The fob was completely destroyed like the previous owner used pliers on it. I think they used too soft of rubber on the pad. Feels nice but has zero durability.

Decided I'd finally change my key fob internals to a new one I purchased on eBay. $45 and just about every tab broken later and I have a brand new fob lol. Nothing a dab or 2 of superglue couldn't fix.

Yea mine are beat up too and I have always babied them. Never in my pocket with other keys etc... Weak rubbers - the kind that can get you in trouble!

 

Anyway, Mike you say you broke some tabs separating them - any pointers on how you may be able to separate them without breaking anything?

 

Thanks in advance.

No real pointers seeing as how I broke all but 1 tab [emoji28] but honestly if you just use some blue loctite when you put the chrome covers back on, just a dab incase you want to pry them off again at a later time for whatever reason. Then you'll be fine. That's what I did and they won't budge.
