Default New Shoes and Painted Brake Calipers

Upgraded to some 285 A/Ts and got the brake calipers painted!

Very nice! I may have missed replies, but I just installed decent Auxbeam pods / ditch lights.

Not something I see as requiring a $500+ set of lights... The L8, Baja etc are nice, but...

For me they are strictly intended for driving nasty sometimes unpaved mountain windy roads, not the ditches really.

Trying to give max side-2-side coverage I tried 20° out aiming and it is better but someone suggested that I try 40° in so they shine across hood. Mine's Carpathian / dark grey, not gonna matter - I don't see the hood much anyway. 6' tall but basically I see it on the dashcam because it's right below the rain sensor.

His reasoning was that you block less light from outside of the curve. hmmm...

Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas?

Its the little things....

Finally put on the rear wheel cover. Will need to take better picture in the light, but I went aftermarket on this, got a blank middle but color matched paint. This allowed me to get the satin PPF on the pangea, to match the rest of the truck, and then apply black gloss lettering to match the gloss black trim.

Probably should invest in a cover lock lol...
