Mainly some close ups just to see what the actual projector looks like inside the housing. Yes I will also be doing the BHLM at the same time.

I might have to get a set of the 3000k's for my fogs also. I just ordered a set of 4500k fogs for Patrick (nofords08) so I'm waiting until after I install them on his truck to see how they look. The 3000k's looked really good on your truck. I could switch them back and forth to show customers. Maybe I need one set of every color!? Lol Thanks for the info. I can't wait to get mine started.

 

lol, do it. get one set of every color.

I was always wanting some 6000k for my fogs, but once i got the retro complete I didnt want the fogs THAT bright... plus it would never match, so i decided that yellow would be better.... more functional in actual fog too. Not that we have to deal with that in this part of AZ..... helps me sleep at night though.

 

Well now that we have the ballasts we can just switch the different colored bulbs out for cheap. Maybe I will get a few different sets and we can switch them around see which ones look best. The amber is really starting to grow on me though. Then again...I have a whole new idea planned when my check comes in from the school.........!?!?!?

 

This bumper...

With one of these, in amber, recess mounted into each side of it.

Wired to a switch that will make them fully dimmable to work on road without being too bright for oncoming traffic.

I will be moving to Montana in a few months so the amber lights should really come in handy up there with all the damn snow they get. Lol

Then of course I will have my 30" white light bar on top of the bumper for normal off road use.

 

that will be sweet man.... I really want a new front bumper..... if you had those two recessed and the 30" that you have now, there will be endless light lol. Keep me posted on the progress, Im very interested.

Why are you moving to Montana if you dont mind my asking?

 

Yeah, it will definitely be a LOT of light output. I will also have two white ones recessed into the rear aftermarket bumper that will be wired into my reverse lights through a switch. The front ambers will also be hooked up to a strobe flasher to be used for emergency situations along with the strobes I have.

I am moving to Montana just to get away from the heat. I've been here my whole life so I'm ready for a change. I like the snow and cold weather and trees and mountains. I also really like to hunt and fish so I figured I would give it a try up there. I also have a few friends up there and I've found a couple really good job opportunities so I'm going to try it out.

 

Im jealous! I would love to live in MT....... what job field are you in/looking into?

 

Yeah I love it up there. I am in the diesel technician industry. I've been a mechanic for about 5 years and I'm graduating next month from UTI in Avondale as a diesel tech. I am also looking at heavy equipment operator jobs up there. I've been running equipment on and off since I was 14. I can't wait to get up there and away from AZ. Lol Its nice here, I just can't deal with the summers anymore.

 

well were going to have to keep in touch..... i have never been to MT but i have seen pics and all, and it looks amazing.

 

Yeah for sure, we will definitely stay in touch. Some of you guys can drive 1800 miles up to my neck of the woods and we can go wheelin in the snow. Lol All my family is in AZ so I will be back a few times a year to visit. We will have to plan some trail runs whenever I come back to visit. I would like to get one more run set up for a few of us before I leave. I met some cool guys and girls on that meet last weekend, that was a lot of fun.

 

hey did you get your eyelids custom painted or did they come in white? i love that look

 

They came primer.... i had to take them to get painted, and thanks!

 

what mesh did you use for the satoshi?

 

Beautiful truck!! One of my favorites!!

 

mesh from customcargrilles.com. its the small hexagonal.

 

The truck is sick man!!!! Im looking at your current tire size after I get my lift... How much work/money would is all the trimming and the cab mount chop be?

 

BORING! 3 months of little activity? Haha

 

lol, no joke man! theres nothing new on the truck, so nothing to update lol. I need money!

 

So you have 885s and a 1 inch spacer? Do you offroad at all? isnt that not recommended to do?
