I'll be in the market for a new set soon as I get to the body shop! I do like these LED's.... top right...

Estimate to fix my truck - $4600.00

See?

- I'm not as as I look!

I like those lights the most too, Rowland - although it's hard to tell how well they'll go with the rest of the truck... but I DO know that your traction bars aren't available in carbon fiber!

Yeah. The ------- fiber look is not exactly what I want but...maybe paintable? And I suspect it doesn't show from 10' or more??

Sorry Dan! The E-bay lights look more 'ricey' to me. But they do have some side light, which could have prevented my accident...maybe?
They are similar to what Buck had on his at Alvarado!

I asked about a new bed. Was told $4500.00.. before prep & paint!!
Going to repair truck. 2 new right side panels (inside & outside)..... paint brushed into right side cab....new tail pipe....new tail light......Linex spray in liner....mud flap.... new tire (Body guy said good chance belts got damaged and will show up in near future as a whobble/shimy?

Might be an opportune time to have the body man fix the hail damage too.
