Jason did most of the important work on my truck at Auction Plus in Liberty Hill TX, unfortunately he left the company to start JS Motors and Fab LLC. I would go to him for this kind of thing, the other guys who finished my rebuild are less then awesome lets say.

Pioneer rack yes, they ran out of splah guards...... Yeah like I said the guy who started my restoration isn't the guy who finished it. Some things I am kinda upset about to say the least.

MRAP rims and tires are on the way, also got some adapter plates from Canada (best ones for the price) because I can't find ones on ePay or anywhere else.

I got some LED bulbs for the dash, man oh man are they bright even in the day light. I will post some pictures tonight after the sun goes down.

Are your LED's 24 vdc? I have some manual dimmers and remote controls for the 24 vdc, if you need to tame your brightness down a bit.

I have some of the LED (green, red, white) strips that can be cut + the ends to make a series, like 4" or 8" pieces of LED strip with 30" of wire and another LED strip, so all of the gauges have some indirect lighting behind the dash and maybe some passenger lighting.

They are 12/24 VDC, I am sticking with white lite and using the red lenses covers for the dash lights. I will probably change the rest of the indicator lights (brights, air etc) to LED if these look good but its kinda pointless to make those brighter.

Got it, they are bulbs that go in sockets.

That's a different animal than the strips, which can be made dimmer by the use of a PWM "dimmer".

Here is my new worry, the wires to the cannon plug on the turn signal are beyond gone. Anyone ever rewire a plug? I really really don't want to buy a new front wiring harness.
