I think the cab lights look great. I'm like you...I like my trucks to have them!! Plus its easier to find the truck in a big parking lot. When I disarm my alarm or remote start the truck, it lights up all of my parking lights and cab lights. VERY easy to find. lol

I saw a SD with D-max cab lights on it today... Looked retarded. The Dodge cab lights look really good on the OBS trucks, I'm sure they would look good on the SD as well.

Oh I bet that looked terrible, I dont like Dmax cab lights period. These clear ones were on the fummins and I switched to smoked dodge ones on that and it looked good. I dunno I just cant make up my dam mind:doh:

Truck looks great Matt! I would do the dodge cab lights if i were you, I liked how the fummins looked with them and I think they would look very good on this truck. I'm ordering the smoked recon kit for mine finally.

Yeah I'm the same way. I'm without a doubt nervous about drilling into it, but i think it will be worth it in the end. I think it will change the look of my truck drastically.

Yeah itll definitely change it up. Ill probably do the cab lights and once I get my mirror lights and tail lights on and some fog lights, only other thing that i have coming is some PMF traction bars and then Im done with the truck for a while.

Gonna move on to finding a donor 12v truck for my 86 and get some body work done on that truck.

I have a weird feeling that you will not be done with the truck for long LOL. So whats the plans with the 86? Are you gonna tug it/pull it or just have it to drive?

ha well Im gonna try to leave it alone for a while. The 86 will just be a fun truck but now Im playing with the idea of just doing a 4bt

matt do you already have tunes?

Nope no tunes, hasnt blown head gaskets in 178k miles so I wanna keep it that way, I wanna stay reliable. Im pretty positive I had at least 1 bad injector though. Gonna throw the scan tool on it tomorrow and check.

That would be one heck of a swap Matt. I don't think you would be happy with the power that a 4bt puts out compared to your other trucks though, I think it would end up being a bottomless money pit to get it to the power you want.

Looks good, I like the direction its headed.

Thanks! Got the clear mirror lights and 08 tails on now too. And my PMF trac bars are being built. Need to get some fog lights too.

Yeah thats true, I havent fully decided yet, itll be a winter project anyways so I have time to figure it out. Itll probably end up being a 12v though.

Looks great.. I like to see a LB on CC, kinda evens it out..

Thanks!

Another nice looking Rig from you!.

Thanks man!
