Cut the cap edges off about 3/8"

Empire truck has some 6" caps. I'm going to order a set of those to see if they work better

It was Gohmer who made the adapters not me. He is the one with talent :)

Been a while since i've been on...got rear ended again. Already fixed and back on the road. Had to redo the reverse lights in the bumper. Was using Seasense LED strips, intended for boats, but found that they weren't holding up too well to moisture. Went with some of the LED running lights that folks are attaching to the front of cars these days. Obviously meant for automotive applications and are mighty water proof! Had to cut into a new set of reflectors to get them to fit and recessed the new lights in. Had the rear hatch cleaned up and debadged while I was at it. Hoping that this crappy winter stops soon so I can get the SS wheels back on (need new tires). Other than that, pretty happy motoring. Did have to finally change my light bulbs...wheel off, fender liner pulled back and easy peasy. Why anyone would remove the whole front clip is beyond me.

Bought and installed some new license plate LED's right after this pic was taken. Same for the map lights inside. Looks LOTS better.

Well, discovered a new rattle last night. Hard right with moderate acceleration and I hear something with a rattle. Can't recreate going straight, or turning left.. Guess I know where my tax return is going this year.

Sorry to hear the flu got you, take care of yourself and don't push too hard until you're back to 100%.

I didn't throttle back after coming down with the flu in December, that led to double Pneumonia, no fun at all.
