    rear bumper with round tail lights

    When I bought my rig, it had a hideous step bumper welded to the frame with rectangular chevy lights installed. That was the first thing I cut off. I like the round lights on the old rigs but instead of buying the stock lights, I opted for the 4" round led trailer lights that have an...

    Getting the reman from Napa today. Went there last night and the only one they had in stock had surface rust in multiple spots, mysterious liquid all over it (didn't seem like brake fluid for protection) and the bag it had been in was opened.
