Do you happen to have a picture of your battery setup? :) Sounds like a good plan if I have to replace my batteries at some point. Are there any serious drawbacks to having only 2 in these trucks, or are they higher-amp batteries that make up for it?
You're welcome. Here's the direct link to the swap thread that I followed:

SUPER easy.. Just 3 wires per headlight to crimp or solder to the adapters (and I recommend using shrink tube like I did to protect the...
Actually accomplished quite a bit today.. I wired in an outlet between my 2 garage doors, for use with my block heater. I was going to use the one by the door into the house, but then I would need a 20ft longer cord. That was actually kind of fun.. Been a while since I ran conduit and pulled...

Finally received my H4 ceramic pigtails :naner:Went to NAPA to get the appropriate connectors and shrink tubing, then I went ahead and installed one of them (passenger side.) Even during the day, I could tell there was a significant difference. I'm guessing maybe 25-30% brighter? I left the...
Finally primed and bedlined the inside of my second toolbox (the one under the passenger side door.) Once I get some type of rubber mat in there I can finish putting all of my tools in the truck. I was amazed at the amount of stuff I was able to fit in the smaller toolbox mounted behind the...
