there now its all caught up, im sure i missed a bunch of things but these are the main upgrades. im always doing stuff to it so ill keep updating!
 
Looks good buddy!

How do you like those headlights?

i love the lights! the new lights without hids were 100% better visibility than my stock lights,,, then with the hids, it was about 100% better than the stock h1 bulb it came with haha.
deffenitly happy with them.
love the cut off from the projectors too, not to mention the cool warm up process of the hids haha
 
I like those lights! How much did it cost you for the new headlights and HID's? I wanna do that. Your truck looks good.
 
I saw on kijiji a store in the south has hids on sale for 85 bucks for a low/high. Incase you want some for your fogs.

Did you get the BL online or is there a place here that sells them?

nah im not gonna get hids for the fogs.. it will just blind people because theres no direct light pattern. ill just get a bulb to match the colour. right now i have yellow in..good road vision but doesnt match and looks bad now.

i got the BL from national. they give me discounts there just from me going there all the time haha, reg 320$ got the kit for 240$
 
also forgot to mention i got 06+ tail lights
today i put on 06+ badges
20120522_172855.jpg

tailgate isnt shut all the way just realized
20120522_172843.jpg

going to look at 06+ fender flares tonight.. i love the look of the new ones, and bushwackers are waaay out of my budget
 
Sorry I never got you the picture of my lights. Think I'm gonna hold onto them for a bit.

How did it go with the flares? I can give you the number of a guy I found in Calgary that has a ton of rangers sitting in his yard with lots of parts for sale if you like. Pretty sure he has the new style flares aswell.

its okay hahah i figured i dont need them for a while anyways.
im going to look at them around 10 tonight the guys workin late. i hope they are in good shape.. they are grey painted so it should match my two tone perfectly.
(not the type of grey the level 2 have).
also considering the mudflaps too.. not 100% liking the look of them though il see
 
got my new fender flares on, got bored on my lunch break and decided to put em on. no drilling =) perfect fit/match i think it looks great
