Late June 2009: Hella Headlights & PIAA Wipers

First off, I usually list the exact date that I installed the parts, and I just haven't been on here very much. Anyway, I got them through Tirerack.com, and I couldn't have been more impressed. (Tirerack.com)

Without further ado, onto the pictures!

Sorry about the size of the pictures, I haven't had any coffee today and I don't feel like messing with it any more..

Extang Trifecta Bed Cover - 6.11.09

I ordered this last week from work, but I've been riding the bike to work a lot so I haven't had a chance to put it on until today. Mr. B was nice enough to put it on for me this morning while I was working with a customer, so that was a cool surprise. I've wanted this cover for a while now, and now that it's on the truck the only thing that i would change is, I wish that it sat a little more flush. Scott said that they "squat down" more after a few days in the sun. I don't know about that quite yet, but we'll see i guess. Anyway, on with the pictures!

Re: Factory to Current

On the first post I mentioned some other things that were done, that did not show pictures. When I was writing that i didn't have any pictures to post, so this is more of an update.

OEM 17" Chrome Wheels, Replaced Headlights,

Update: 5.23.09 "OEM Bedliner"

This afternoon I picked up a bedliner from a gentleman in Illinois.
I'd found it over Craigslist: St. Louis.
It's an OEM Ford piece. He'd put a Bed Rug in place of it, and just wanted it gone. While I also want a Bed Rug, they can be kinda pricey. After the fiasco of trying to do a DIY Roll on Bed Liner, I just wanted something to make my bed look better until I could afford the Bed Rug. I dunno, hopefully next summer?
It's pretty low on the priority list right now. Anyway for a $100 I got the bedliner, a free install and a Dr. Pepper. Other than getting lost in Illinois for 3 hours, I'm very happy with it!

So, on with the Pics!

Following the Headunit, I upgraded the factory Speakers to a set of
Pioneer TS-A6871R



The Next Modification were a set of 15" Street Glow Underdash Neon. Neo-Blu Lava (Discontinued)



During that time I was finishing high school, so money was tighter then than even now, so not a whole lot happened for awhile (besides taking a crap load of pictures...)
Here's a few from that period...
