You're bf and after reminds me of those infomercial thingys!

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-13-2017, 07:11 PM

I really like those LED bulbs. I got the same brand for my wife's excursion. I also put them in a 98 Dodge. No issues with the LED's compared to the horrid HID set ups.

Ya so glad I ripped out the HID

So today I used my truck as a truck and picked up the wood I'm using for the new bed. Then started working on prepping the cool new bed. Also my friend Joe sent me this pic from a week ago when I was skating down the expressway, about 1" off the ground at 60mph.

Love it man, your truck is my favorite of all the builds I have gone through since I joined. Good stuff!

kehstr · 04-17-2017, 10:04 PM

I love looking at your build, it makes me really happy to know that I am not the only one that likes off-roading and still built a lowered truck!

piratexpress1369a · 04-17-2017, 11:04 PM

Just wondering is that engineer Joe from jeepkings

**mongocanfly** · 04-17-2017, 11:18 PM

Well lower50s.. I just went searching for the jeep lights you were talking about and see they make a complete led replacement light for the jeep jk...would those work as well as what you used?

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-17-2017, 11:44 PM

Very nice pics! I'm in the middle of bagging my 40 Ford. I don't think it'll be as low as your truck when driving down the road though.

Steve-W · 04-18-2017, 06:14 AM

that highway picture is insane!! i'd expect a cloud of tarmac dust behind it from scraping the road

99 to Life · 04-18-2017, 10:20 AM

never fails looking good on the road.

rusty76 · 04-18-2017, 05:52 PM

lower, great view with the new LED, I got new LED for mine since the wreck...Jim

MIKESAD50 · 04-19-2017, 10:11 AM

LED looks great, will have to look into those. I tried the GE 7in LED and didnt like how they stuck way out from headlight bezels.
Love the picture riding Loooow on the highway. Truck is just cool.

**joedoh** · 04-19-2017, 12:34 PM

I did a 7" three chamber light conversion on my 49 and I actually mounted them from the BACK to pull them in even with the bezel!

Got the plywood off, bought all my hardware for installing the new bed. Maybe I should just put a piece of plexy glass on the bed frame. Hope to have the bed done on the weekend then you all will see.

So here you go, what I'm sure you have all been waiting for......The plywood id gone!!! Took a lot more time to accomplish than I thought, but got it 99% done last night. Just have to drill, nut and bolt some center holes.
My little $2 garage sale drill press came in real handy drilling basically 108 holes in stainless.
I'll get a picture in the sun this afternoon.
