They definitely do. The dust from the wood is the only downside in the shop.
Currently how mine sits:
Working on some changes for the spring and looking for some input towards the direction I'm going to take this thing. Debating doing the trimmed 4 bar HD Denali grille, lower grille and air duct or the other option would be the 1500 Denali grille possibly colormatched. Also for wheels, I had a deal in place for a local set of mm 962 20x12s but they were pitted when I went to see them. They are getting played out now as well so I'm glad it didn't work out. Currently leaning towards some AF shields in 20x12, blade ss6 in 22x12 or maybe a set of the new hostiles.
Nothing new, just some updated pics before I start making changes for new set up.
Hoping the CDN dollar recovers a bit. Tis holding up the wheel ordering process.

I bought some 5k LED kits for the highs, lows and fogs. Pretty happy with the brightness and color but I won't be able to comment on output until the spring when I take it out storage. Currently finishing up the passenger side but some pics for comparison.

Haha well I will be in for results, looking to do the same :shake:
Yes yes do you have a link?
I bought mine locally for a bit cheaper but this is the only link I could find for them off of eBay. I asked the guy I bought them from for some more info and I will update this if I get it

Finished the lights off last night. Needed to get another bulb as I had one that didn't mount correctly.
Color comparison before I swapped the H11, 5k to stock:

No new updates other than parts I ordered I few weeks arrived to be painted.
I did come across a local set of forces, independence ss8s that I'm looking into. I would have already of made a deal for them except that the bolt pattern is 8x170. I'm not too worried about running adapters up front as they are only a x11 wide but would there be any issues running them in the rear stacked up with my hubcentric spacers? :shrug:

I've had good communication with him, 5 or 6 emails since Sunday, other than trying to get some better quality pics lol. How long ago did you try to get a hold of him? We've agreed on a price but I'm still a bit uneasy on the stacked spacers/adapters idea. Also, not real thrilled on the drive each way lol
Came across these last night and going to check them out this afternoon.
Specs are 04 silvy 10 bolt with factory 4.10s, 125k mi for $400
Anything I should be wiery of?
I believe the rear should bolt up fine except for the parking brake cable but I could be wrong? Not sure if the front diff is a direct bolt up but I can have that swapped over fairly cheap since my neighbor knows how to swap gears.
Figured for the price, if it's going to be too much of pita to install I can always swap them to the hoe.

Didn't end up buying the axle/diffs as I found out I needed rear wheel spacers but in other news, the truck got a new facelift:
