Do they offer those in an 1157 (round base) replacement?

Nice work on this thing! :D Love it! As a fellow cateye crew cab owner.. I'm following along for more inspiration for mine too ;) Keep up the good work.

Sidebar.. love to see that they improved the RP5-GM11 interface box and wiring kit! The one I installed in mine seems so flimsy, thin plastic, plugs were wobbly.. The new designed box looks much more sturdy. My Pioneer deck has been causing me a headache of issues with sometimes working, sometimes disconnecting from my phone, losing ability to recognize apple carplay.. Been wondering if it was a deck issue or maybe my old interface. May be needing to redo my double din setup too similar to what you did there.

Thanks! She's coming along nice, I must say.

Now that you say that, I remember the interface box being a little chincy feeling in the past. This one is very nice, feels very substantial. Like a home computer almost. Mine has only had an issue connecting to my phone one time but that was right after I'd had the battery unhooked. I think it was just a timing anomaly

Got it tinted with ceramic last Friday. This is the first time I've had dark-ish tint in a very long time, it's taking some getting used to lol

- 35% over the factory 20% on the rear doors
- 20% over the factory 20% on the rear window
- 20% on the front doors
- 5% strip on the windshield. When I replace the windshield next year, it'll get 50% on the whole thing with a 5% brow

Somewhere in the ever growing pile of "to be installed" boxes is a tailgate handle with a built in reverse camera lol

I also ordered the last few gaskets/odds and ends from RockAuto today. Found out they sell Melling chromoly pushrods cheaper than anybody else, $74 for a whole set of 7.4s. Then ordered a Truck Norris cam and springs from BTR. So by the end of the week, I should have everything for the reseal/cam swap.
