What reverse lights are those? They appear pretty bright in the photo. I have some cheap white LEDs. They work, but don't light up much when backing up.

If I recall correctly they are the Sylvania LED Mini Bulb 1156SYLLED. They are a lot brighter than I thought they would be, but I did notice that their brightness had a lot to do with how clean the socket was. The passenger side was always a little dimmer until I actually spent some time with it tonight.

Very nice. I use the red Zevo 1157s for the brake lights, and they work fantastic!

I think I have the same for tail. I have all of my lights, marker, tail, turn, reverse, interior and headlight, all swapped over to LED.

The headlight picture below is Driver converted with the WH REVOLUTION 7" LED HEADLIGHT KIT CHROME FINISH WHITE HALO TURN SIGNAL/RUNNING LIGHT. Passenger is halogen.

Installed storage rack for extra storage for those off road trips. Intended for a Jeep, but fit perfectly after drilling a couple extra holes in the mounting locations. Six bolts and its out and ready for the nieces to jump in the back seat.

Nice, I was thinking of something like this right behind the front seats to put a cooler on and get it up off the warm floorboards. What do you have tucked in behind the rear seat and tailgate?

Yes, exactly for the cooler! Has capacity of 150 lbs. so a bunch of other stuff to.

Behind the rear seat is also intended for a Jeep, Tuffys Jeep tail gate box.

Mounted it to the floor using the seat belt holes and to the upper part of the seat. Works out pretty well.

What I ended up with today. So I started if for a quick back 40/deer stand check and noticed it running like crud and oil running all down the back dvrs side of the motor. Dang mice chewed wires, and them little beoches chomped my oil pressure gauge line clean in too. So now I have more repair work on the list.

Got my 4.56 gears and locker installed and setup. Only took about 10 hours over two day period which included at least 4 hours to make my setup bearings out of my old bearings. Carrier installed and removed at least 12 times to get shims correct. Hopefully the rear installation will be much easier.

Well all I can say is you got it done faster than I did lol. Good job. And isnt it a fist pumping occasion when you finally get that good gear pattern and put it in for the last time lol

While checking my fuel line, I noticed the transfer case leaking at the bottom of the access cover gasket. Ordered a new gasket set, removed the probably decades old mummified gasket and its remains. Inspected gears, reinstall plate. That's how it goes...look for one thing and find another...

Got my mice chewed wiring repaired. Took the plastic oil pressure line (also mice chewed in half) out and put a copper line in. Then took it for a back 40 spin. Runs great and no more oil leak. Also left some "snacks" on the inner fenderwells for them little furry sonnybeaches to eat on. Farnam Just One Bit Bar.....
