Do a search for "Spek Guages", store/vendor is "FastRacingSupply". (which I think is the manufacture's store itself.)
Their prices are 1/2 of what Jegs and Summit sell them for (which is the same price as the AutoMeter Elite's at those box stores.)
And my 6-pos LED switch should be delivered any minute!

Did a test fit last night. Can't wait to get this wired up... problem is I have to wait until I get back from Dallas next week!

Any ideas up now?
....and I bet you have two cheeks in your face? And sometimes when you smile
your cheeks will look different.....
In German you would say: Da haste Spass an 'ne Backen.
In English: I had fun like a bunch of monkeys....for example

My first thought was WI, MN ND or SD. Everyone is German up there. Your name being Germanmike gives little clue to your whereabouts really.

Ok, guys....Sorry to all.
I am German, I was born in Germany and I still live here.
Actualy, I thought that everybody could see it at my bad English.
Of course, that alone doesnt make it easier. Sorry again, youre right.
I live in Gelsenkirchen and we have here really a lot unlimited highways.
Maybe I should add this fact to my Avatar or Signature.

Not picking on you, I like the side markers but on the running boards.

I like the look you got going there. Running boards just get in the way when you need your truck to actually do some work.

One of the things that is most bothersome about my Ex. The truck is 6'10" to the roof, but I can just squeeze under it (hello middle aged belly). Hell, my 1995 suburban had running boards, smaller tires, way more ground clearance, AND I could park it at the airport, but the Ex is way more awesomer (grammatically correct in this usage). Even though I have to park with the delivery trucks everywhere I go now.

I like it, and those recon lights look cheap to me...especially since they aren't long enough to fill the gap. Plus I'm not over paying for stuff with the recon name that's still junk made in china

That's ok if they don't like it then they don't deserve a ride. My dad who is 5'10 has no problems with it. I'm young a little step up isn't hurting anyone

Glad I build my truck to my likings, not everyone else's
