was out for a hike this weekend and snapped a pic. can't say enough good things about my [MENTION=128345]kustom54lighting[/MENTION] built headlights. love the way they look, and the light output is such an improvement. after having my retros in my 2010, then my Audi, when i got back in this truck the lights were the first thing i needed to upgrade. it was like going back in time with the stock halogens. i wasn't trying to build my own lights again, just don't have the time. i also installed led fogs. next up will be to replace the god awful Mastercrap tires (shame on the owner before me for spending money on these) with km3's, hopefully via a black Friday sale, and an Icon suspension.

Part 1 arrived fast. Apparently Icon stuff sold like hotcakes over Black Friday so I'll be waiting a few weeks on my suspension. This wait has unfortunately made me start looking at wheels. Anyone from Baltimore area north to PA looking for some TRD Pro wheels? :naughty:

I tackled the install last weekend. It took a couple hours longer than it should have. First mistake was wasting a ton of time fighting KDSS on the front passenger side. End result was removing the front skid plate to access the KDSS piston on the drivers side. Once that was accessible it was easy to compress it using a jack, making the passenger side fall low enough to get the CO in. Same thing on the rear; just a lot of trial and error with the KDSS. Also getting the washers on the long UCA bolt is such a pain in the dick. Anyway, end result is great. Really loving the Icon equipment. Suspension pic is before the KM3s were mounted. A few days after the install we got a decent snow. Here's a pic on the snow day as well.

Looks great!
What is your center hub to lower fender lip measurement in the front?
Those tires are badass.

Don't go crazy on cranking down on the COs and ruin the ride quality.

thanks, Dave!
the Cadet doesn't attach to anything but my hands. It's great though and I'm really happy to have reached a point in my life where I no longer shovel.

Ahh. I hear ya.
it's a shame how a young guy lets himself go...
I remember the days when you'd sit out there on that tractor cleaning up a storm for hours...now you've traded that in for cup holders, heated cab, and a V plow...:faint:
