Project Ironhide: Suspension, Part 2
Ahhh, the long awaited follow-up to part 1 is finally here. Lets just dive right in. The rear suspension…man, was this a disappointment. I simply didn’t account for the weight I typically carry back there which is usually at least a good 500+ pounds. As I mentioned in the previous post, this left me with […]

Project Ironhide: RECON Projector Beam HALO Headlights
Here’s another quick one for today. Finally installed the RECON headlights. There’s just not much to say about these other than they look AWESOME. Installation took < 1 hour. The headlights come in a HUGE box, individually packaged nicely with plenty of protection. There’s some minor pre-wiring work to do, but pretty basic stuff. To […]

It’s time for the next update on Project Ironhide. In this post we’ll cover the installation of the N-Fab Light Bar and 801/803 series KC Rally lights. Lets start with the light bar. Pretty standard piece of hardware and bolts onto the truck fairly easily without any real modifications. N-Fab does a really nice job […]
