I live with it every day for 3 years. Since it's not a real SS I figured it wasn't worth tearing apart again.

Re: Whats up Atlantic Canada?

I originally made a lightbar from scratch out of 12 super bright white LED's but it wasen't waterproof so I got the "WFLB24 series 24-LED Waterproof Flexible Light Bar" in cool white http://www.superbrightleds.com/light_bars-flexible.html .
I bought four bars, butt two bars together on each side on the bottom of the grill, wraped it around and stuck it with 3M 2- sided moulding tape. Wired it to ignition with a additional switch so I can turn them off if I wanted to.

I also got two meter long strips of the WFLS and NFLS series Flexible Light Strips. Those f##kers are bright, put them under the tonneu cover and hooked them up so they turn on when the tailgate is opened.

Re: Whats up Atlantic Canada?

Will they fit a s-10? the front spindle on our trucks sticks out quite far. I'd be worried that the bearing cap wouldn't fit.

Agreed. Seems like a good deal.

pappa - You raise a good point with the spindle. I've seen a few guys grind down their spindle to get the centre cap to fit on new rims they bought. Not the greatest solution, but it works.

Anyone buy a lotto ticket last week? Rumor has it Saturdays winnings of 1.7million went to someone in Dartmouth and it's still unclaimed. Check you ticket if you got one
