Expected delivery on them is between 3/28 and 4/4. I'll have them in as soon as my dad isn't home after I get them. (If he saw me with my dash off, He'd be pissed)

Got my one decal in the mail today. This one:
Still don't know where I am going to put this.
Also, since it was a ****ty day, I lowered my HIDs so I don't blind anyone. Planning on permanently positioning within the next couple of days. Also, I will be putting my roof rack on on Saturday as I have work and school tomarrow and work ALL day Friday. Anyway, I should be getting some other goodies in to install too. We'll see what happens

Loving this thread! Couple of questions though on your lighting upgrade. Do they just splice right into the factory wires? How did you secure them? Finally, now that you've ordered all your lights, can you give an updated list? Kinda confused cause you said dash lights, does that mean the gauges or what? Thanks a lot!

I am still waiting for the dash lights. They should be able to dim, as it is a basic watt to light output equation.

The bulbs are direct replacements of the incandescent bulbs that are in the cars stock. The bulbs fit directly in place to the old ones. Its just a simple swap, no wiring or modding. After the picture though, I have replaced the two dome lights with panels to make it even brighter. The back dome light fit right in, the front I spliced the wires of a festoon adapter and using 20 gauge wire, I mounted it to the loop festoon. I have a post earlier HERE. You don't need rigid loop festoons actually. Instead you can splice the wires like I did, as the rigid loop festoon is not very bright at all. Instead, you can get 4 T10 LED panels. Then splice the wires from the adapter included with that. Oh, and dash lights mean gauges and HVAC lights.
Finally! another mud hating jeeper. I just feel mudding is not worth the time to clean, money to prepare, risk of destruction, and I don't like getting stuck.
