It's been a pretty great weekend working on the rig. After a post holiday ordering frenzy, I finally received everything just in time for a marathon weekend installation. Well, almost everything, still waiting on one of the two 20" LED bars I ordered.
I started out by removing my full size XHD end caps and installing my XHD stubby end caps and XHD stinger bar.
I then upgraded all my lighting, stock and auxiliary, from halogen to LED. Truck-Lite headlights in the front and smoke tinted Recon tail lights in the rear. Without even coming up for air, I then mounted and wired 2 Duallys on the windshield and a 20" LED light bar to the bumper. Once the second 20" bar comes in I'll have it mounted on the Rigid Hood Mounts I also mounted up.
Before I turned in on Saturday I sprayed two coats of VHT Nightshades on my turn signal and side marker light covers. Looks great and barely effects the brightness of the bulbs, though I wouldn't recommend spraying any more than 2 or 3 coats.
Finally, I spent most of the day today replacing my Teraflex 1.5" Leveling Kit with a Rubicon Express 2.5" Coil Lift Kit and Bilstein 5100 Shocks.
"She's a beaut, Clark!"
Adios, ya yellow bellied haolgens!

Threw on some G2 wheel spacers.
Also replaced a well worn tie rod end on my draglink. The end was only about 3 months old. Pretty sucky.
