Update: Getting shit done! I'm still working on a better ground for the compressors and tidying all the wiring up.

Here's what we did today...

^^^I still have no idea what that random black button is on the bottom pic. I guess I'll figure it out when I continue tracing wires.

The new wires are ran into the cab and are waiting to be installed on a new fuse block and I'm going to add switches so I can turn them off during the night.

Viair hasn't emailed me back so I'm not sure what to do about my compressor situation yet. :/

You may want to put some heat shrink on those connections to keep out moisture.

Update: more things getting done to make it show worthy! yay!

The sub was on a baffle of plain, unpainted mdf that looked terrible. I took the sub out and colored in the face of the baffle with a sharpie; I also put chrome trim around the baffle. It looks 300% better!

Next up, some nite-shade to the turn signals

much better!

Finally, my dad welded a support to the driver door so that it doesn't sag. It worked great!

That's all for today folks! On the agenda are some new headlight housings, these are in rough shape. I don't want to spend ~$200 on some nice looking ones though; where can I get some housings, preferably crystal clear, for a low-ish price?

P.S. I ordered a set of these today, just for fun. ^_^

for cheap headlight housing check ebay you can get halos for 148 or regular nice ones for 104 NEW :good:

thanks, yeah I found some okay ones on ebay but they mostly looks like cheap knock-offs of the good brands.

I found these decently priced and they look high quality: http://www.carpartparadise.com/headlights/euro-headlights/chevrolet-s10-98-02-sonar-crystal-euro-headlight

although, some halo housings with blue HIDs would look good with the truck. I'll decide which ones I want when it's time to buy them.

After

installing tint is a huge pain in the ass and I'll leave it to the professionals from now on.

also got the uni-strut brackets installed so that everything in the bed is secure. still waiting on the repaired compressor...
