I was bored and had a couple cans of Plastidip laying around the garage so i blacked out the mags.

Applying Plastidip at close to freezing outside temperatures was a VERY different experience than when I did the bumpers and tan trim back in August.

The wheels look like police wheels.

I thought Phantom Grills covered the headlights... Matter of fact, I'm sure of it.

Well as of right now, the last spark plug is waiting to be tightened in its hole. After that its COP's and hopefully she'll run good again. This has been a very taxing project...

EDIT: And now everything is back together. Truck runs good, and it doesn't miss under load so far. I will go on a highway trip tomorrow when I drive back to school, and that will be the true test.

Shoveled the snow off of her and went for a drive to the parts store to pick up a pair of 100 watt bulbs for the driving lights. Unfortunately, they did not have any in stock.

So screw the current lamps, They were cheap crap anyway. I'll order a new lens for the Piaa's on Tuesday and swap them in next week.

Did a bunch of lil stuff the last few days, put in avolant cold air intake. Window visors, cloud rider grill insert, installed fog lights using the factory wiring trick, and got a factory headlight switch with fog light switch so it's just like an oem setup. Painted the wheels blackand the corner lights amber, plasti dipped the bumpers and molding, and picked up some junk yard mud guards, and replaced every white bulb to led, all in all in very happy with the expedition I've owned it for 2 weeks

Oh! I forgot I picked up some used bf Goodrich all terrain s from the local classifieds, they are my favorite tire for city driving with weeklydirt road trips and they do well in the snow so I like them allot as all year tires. I took off the running boards and welded in all new rockers along with a complete tune up, so it's been a busy few weeks but when I buy a used vehicle I get a lil OCD with going over the vehicle front to back top to bottom, especially since this is my wife's grocery getter I don't want her to be stuck on the side of the road ever.

Sweet looking ride. I like the look of those amber corners. I might have to do that myself.

Thanks! I used stained glass paint, krylon makes alot of different colors of it... I used to use the red on vehicles with red/amber tail lights, I would mask off the reverse light and paint the tai lights solid red for a different look. The trick to using it is I would only do one heavy coat. If you try to re spray another coat it would take away the glossy finish and leave it hazy with a rough texture. Best of luck with your project!
