| I may have to check out that "brickit" system and see what it would cost to finish off the exterior of the house. I can't stand this vinyl siding I have now and the full on, real brick route is just too expensive. Cool stuff! |

| It appears that the pad the unit sits on is made out of some kind of hard foam or plastic that looks like concrete. Some moles or gophers have been tunneling near the A/C unit and now it is sinking and tilting in towards the house. It sits on a slight slope and it looks like the original installer d... |

| I replaced my headlight units with aftermarket lights awhile back and have the factory oem headlights sitting in a box. They are out of an '04 but should fit all '02 through '05 trucks.
