On a clear day, I can see Seattle from my house.
new wheels 20x10 -25 on 34.6x11.5x20 (bridgestone ko2 285/65/20)

Not to rain on your parade, but I'm sure you are already aware the manufacturer of those headlight and taillight covers likely states they are off-road or show use only.
They actually look good on your vehicle, but if you drive in my neck of the woods, expect that you may be pulled over, because:
"Pursuant to Title 49 C.F.R. Part 571.108, the addition of an aftermarket style ornament or other feature such as tinted plastic glass covers, a grille or slotted covers must not be placed in front of the headlamp lens, or in front of any other lighting devices installed on motor vehicles which impair the effectiveness of lighting equipment required under 49 C.F.R. Part 571.108 (FMVSS 108) or chapter 46.37 RCW."
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 is the regulating authority for all automotive lighting requirements in the USA.
These tickets are not cheap.

I gave the truck a good wash . It’s been a few weeks and I wanted to test out the Chemical Guys V07 spray sealant. I am very happy with the outcome. After washing the truck and drying with my backpack blower I wiped it down with the V07 spray sealant to get any water spots that remained.

I put a Ceramic Coating on my truck. I used
CQUARTZ UK 3.0. It wasn’t too hard to use. The most important part is the prep work. Wash, Iron-X, clay bar, then I polished it twice. The second time with a finer polish. Then wipe down with ISP. Then put on 2 coats of the CQUARTZ. Left it alone overnight and sprayed some Reload on top and wiped off.
My Longhorn is Diamond Black Crystal Pearl. This is the shiniest slickest paint I’ve ever had on any vehicle! I have to keep it inside another 24 hours. Not supposed to let any water get on it until it cures a bit. My Pedal Commander was delivered today so I put that on but haven’t driven it yet.
Before anybody asks, I tried to take some pictures but they aren’t showing the shine like I want inside my building. I’ll try again tomorrow when I take it outside

Looks great, those Mopar factory? Careful if they are aluminum or other metals, they can get stuck on the stem, use some anti-seize if they are just in case.
oh wow, I didn't know that. I'll do that when I get home. No, I just ordered them off Amazon only because the stock ones looked cheesy and one already was breaking.

Do you know the exact part number for the metro wiring harness? And did u replace the speakers from an H&k system or the Alpine?
I have the H&K and I’m not overly impressed for the amount of money the upgrade was...

Metra 72-7902.
I had the base 6 speaker package, in another thread several people upgraded from the Alpine to Kicker and were happy, from the HK more seemed to like the 3 1/2“ Infinity REF3032.
