Love them, the lows light everything up with a nice crisp light. Blows away the Truklites I had previous. The highs are decent but I never use highs anyway. They were definitely worth the money IMO.

Another small update. I've had the billet side vents in my garage forever. The chrome was tore up from a seller I bought them from back east. I finally got them cleaned up, painted, and installed. Interesting look..

Decided to take the plunge and rip all 4 doors apart. I installed new speakers and door stops on all doors. I can't believe how quiet the front doors are when you open and close them. No more popping from the old worn out door stops.

Front door:

Rear door:

Old Door Check and new Door Check:

Also installed billet door buckets with new chrome handles. These look so much better than the sun fried plastic buckets:

Finally installed green keys to level the old girl out! I reinstalled the bolts at the same length they were at with the stock keys. The front was raised 3" total.

Finally upgraded my tie rods to the DMax Heavy Duty Tie Rods. For the price they couldn't be beat. These things are HUGE compared to the stock tie rods. My stockers were utterly shot, boots torn to hell and flopping all over the place. I also installed 1" longer hex swar bar end links and sway bar bushings with zerks to grease them.

Here's the parts:

Stock vs. DMax tie tods:

Stock end links and new end links:

Couple pics of everything back together:

I would love to meet up with you guys for the first time but against my better judgement I went back to school for my masters at the beginning of the year so not much free time. I was actually born in Utah about 2 hours from Moab, beautiful state for sure! I actually went out shooting last weekend and scratched the hell out of the thing along with the passenger fender flares but I guess that's what they're there for right? lol

Nice upgrades!

Thank you sir!
