     Very nice job on your truck.  Props on your hood, and the fender flares look good on your truck, though I would have cut out the fronts for your running lights.  It is going to be a great truck when your done.  Your not planning on mudding it after all that work like your other rig are you ?

No mudding in this thing.....well not at first. I'm sure the mud will get the best of me one day and i'll stick it in the hole!!!  ;D and as far as the marker lights.....there is a indentation for the lights in the front.....that's how they come and i'm not going to spend 300 bucks on them and hack em up. I agree though would look good if you could see the whole light.

Are they bushwackers? Ive seen some before that have the cutout for the lens, but maybe it was on a smaller set...
