Did some weekend mods!!

Hey just wanted to say thanks for all the help i've received for choosing and installing parts. Just finsihed my weekend project! ( kind of skipped work friday to get it done) I installed Lorenz Bilstein kit with rear mini packs, Thuren track bar, Firestone air bags and just waiting for silicone to dry to reinstall DIY night runner lights( thanks 53 ). Install of the suspension was no problem but the headlights required many selected words mostly due to the fact i was trying to get it done in one day.All in all truck looks great and rides sooooo much better

where be the pics! congrats! I would like to know how you like the headlights. I have been thinking of doing this but taking apart that much $$ to slip and do something wrong is nerve racking.

The lights turned out good but could have been better with some more time. This is a great project but again very time consuming and i ended up driving home with no headlights. Putting the lights in the oven was not that bad just a matter of figuring out how long to leave in. First light took 2 hours and the second 15 minutes if you know what i mean. I should have spent more time on the prep work but they look great on my black truck. Ended up leaving the orange park light on the bottom but painted over the side reflector.

Nah dude, I was just joking, they do look silly, I'm still looking for wheels , have had new tires waiting in the shed since October.

Don't know if this will work for you but it's worth a try...

1 TXT the cell phone pic to your email, and save it on your pc

2 Create a free account over at photobucket.com

3 Upload the image from your pc to photobucket, resize it using the options they give, 640x480 is best for a site like this.

4 Under each thumbnail image in your photobucket account there will be 4 codes, copy and paste the last code (IMG code) into the field of your post here at DTR

Not sure if your cell service will allow txting to your email, but it's an easy way to get the pics to your pc if they do.
