Re: The Snortin' bull
After acquiring a couple sets of aftermarket halogen and hid bulb
housings that sucked and housings poorly made that would not even accept the bulbs .I chose just to put in halogen Phillips bulbs.

Re: The Snortin' bull
The truck with almost 500 miles on it now has been for the most part tight and rides and drives nice, The tailgate though over bumps rattle and clanked, I had some leftover sections of inner door weather strip left over that fit the edge of the gate and snugs up to bed, Tacked them on problem solved.I also found putting the chains and hooks inverted helps relieving chain smacking around.

You are really getting the little details just right. That faux tailgate is great. Did a new fuel line for my truck yesterday.

Re: The Snortin' bull
I was never real happy with the how the front down tubes of the exhaust came out.I could not get them up higher than the frame. I stepped up and had a very talented exhaust fab. man redo them. In stainless and up higher so now the lowest portion of the truck is the frame.
