The TruckLite LEDs are very impressive. They put out just as much light as the old HIDs I had. The best part is these are DOT approved and legal in all 50 states unlike the fake projector HIDs I had. They put out a blanket of pure white light. Very satisfied:

If you were looking for good headlamps, I would highly recommend these. They're a bit expensive at $200-300 each, but they're just as bright as any HID I've seen and they're extremely durable.

Can't seem to stop/find the infernal water leaking into my cab problem...

Water is rolling in from the far right side of the floor on the passenger side from behind the black heat shield stuff.

I think it may be a windshield leak, although my AC line foam grommet is missing too. I tried RTVing that up and if I spray a hose directly onto that, water gets in. At the same time, if I spray water for a long time at the top of the windshield, water gets in too. There's no way for the water to really get from the windshield to the AC line hole because of the cowl, and the cowl doesn't leak, so it may be time for a new windshield. Water rarely get anywhere near the AC lines under the hood.

The leak does not appear to be coming from the popular AC drain leaking problem.

I've gone through about 8 sets of horns this year from flooding them out and I've tried all sorts of rigging to keep the water out. Ever since getting this winch bumper, they're just too exposed in the factory location. So I have re-wired them to be in the engine compartment, one on each inner fender. Here they have not even gotten wet once and I've been puddle hopping a lot!

And of course, my new tow hook receiver:

AWESOME looking ride you've got going on. What paint did you use for painting the axels and what not?

Thanks bud.

Rustoleum textured is the only paint I'll use because 1: it's the only paint that lasts, and 2: you will get several uses out of one can.

Waited for it to get dark out... looks great and bounces off the leather to make a really light experience:

Today I found a really cool coincidence.

And not only that, it's a dirt road:

Visited another junk yard and found myself a nice new-to-me Infinity radio. Sounds amazing with the extra control over Bass, Mids, and Treble... and the Infinity Tweeters I got a while back:



Also replaced my blinker switch because my hazard light switch was malfunctioning and only 3 lights came on:
