I was too busy to post much before the Baja trip so here is a very insignificant update but it warrants saying. I replaced all my interior lights with LED's. I did this because we sit in the desert "chasing" for hours on end with the doors open and I always worry about the cumulative draw from the 2 door bulbs, 4 dome bulbs and 2 cargo lights. The benefit ends up being they are VERY bright and can be seen 30+ feet away in daylight. :evil:

DDM Tuning in Huntington Beach. They have many styles (and prices) to chose from. The 2 doors and back cargo cost me $27 total (4 bulbs) but I bought the best ones and they ended up being worth it (if you know what I mean). ;)

They even have a special one for the cargo lights that direct all the light back since there is no reflectors in there.

HA!! No way the lights were worth it. You got a set at the white elephant raffle! Now instead of having to buy 4 you only have to buy 2!

Now its time for some THANKS!!!

First, THANKS to Steve (Chasetruck) for helping me get the GPS in prior to the Baja trip. The factory bracket was too short to mount under dash (like Tonys) and too long to mount to the trans tunnel unless it sat in middle of the area between dash and console. I went over a Steve made these badass mounts for me!!! They held up awesome to the beating I gave my bronco in Mexico. THANKS Steve!!!

And THANKS to Yikes for making one HELL of a rear bumper!!! I got clipped by a 2004ish Toyota Sequoia recently. The Toyota took headlight, turn signal and bumper damage (maybe even door) and my bumper took it in stride!!! The dent below the stripe is old and dent above the stripe is all that happened.

Looking good Andy! And I can attest to the power of those LED lights. WAAAAAY better than stock and now going on my to do list. Well, I guess it's more of a to add list as my old trucks don't have much at all in the way of the interior lighting so I will be adding some.

I'm definately going to go that route too. The cargo lamps just suck in my bronco.
