did some mods this weekend... check em out

Installed my recon tail lights, i think they look really nice with the color of my truck. changed out the green isspro's i had and put in the blue ones to match my gauge cluster(see other post about cluster). tryed to remove my muffler with a friend but no luck and i hit my head and cut it open, got and brought it to a muffler shop to have the geno's delete kit put in. Really nice sound now. Of course i also got the free sticker so had to put that on. Nice addition i think.
Here are the pics......

i forgot to mention something that ****** me off. the recon tail lights do not come with reverse bulbs in them. Also they are not the same bulbs as in your stock lights. I had to get a buddy drive me to the store to get some bulbs because mine was all apart to wire them in. Not once is that little fact mentioned on recon's site or instructions. I thought they were led but they aren't. something to think about if you guys put on these lights.

JVRAM07,

Just like everyone else I love those isspro gauges. How much and were they hard to install? Are the ones on sale at Genos?

I've wanted gauges for a while but unsure how they would look, intsllation difficulty, etc.

Thanks!!!

well i had already done the gauges before so to change em out was simple as unplugging the old ones and plugging the new ones in and tighten down. When i originally did the project i had a few people help me and it was much more involved, im not going to get into it in this thread but there a million gauge install threads out there just search for them.

Never been one for "off-color" guages but have to admit those are pretty sweet.
