would love to have um on by peacock flats, but I don't think I'll have time to install next weekend. Plus, I'm thinking I'll wait for my longer brake lines first.

 

I need to put on some extended brake lines myself I think. What brake lines were those that a couple of the guys on here just slapped on? Prob have to order online to get some....

Thanks Miles!

 

Can someone help me take my headlights out sometime? I can't get the last bolt out under the headlight. This is very frustrating. Lol. It feels like I'm going to break something. all this for bhlm.

 

Yup that back bolt is a PITA. I would help you today but I got work. My next day off is Thursday and Friday if you can wait that long. Once I got it out I didn't put it back when I reinstalled.

 

How did you get it out? Did you just take the grill and small trim pieces below the lights? I can wait, I'm pretty sure if I keep goign I'm going to break something.

 

Yea the grill and trim pieces are the only thing to remove. As far as the back bolt I went from under the truck and pretty much felt for the bolt. Once I kinda get a feel for where it was I used a short socket wrench but its all feel cause there no way to see the bolt unless you remove the fender. Yea the tabs are pretty easy to break. I was lucky cause I didn't break any but I've heard that guys broke there tabs.

Can call or text to lmk when you like do um.

 

if u come through kaneohe i can do it right now hahaha i got pretty good at getting that bolt

 

haha, i got so pissed off at that bolt that i took the bumper off to get to it.

 

Well I sold the battery this morning. But then Battery Bill's is closed and the entire island is out of GP35 DieHard Platinum's. Both Sears say they have a few in stock, but I went to both (and all the K-Marts) and they can't find them anywhere.. So I'm going to go to Battery Bill's tomorrow and get a Bluetop or an Odyssey I guess.

Good news is RECON will most likely call and tell me to come down tomorrow! I mean when better to call me then when I have no battery

 

Thanks for offering your help everyone but I finally got the damn bolts out. What a pain in the ass. My wife saw the two little bolts on the ground and she told me to put that shit back where they came from. Lol

 

Looks good!

 

My wife doesn't know it yet, but she probably hates all of you and this site.. lol..

Went down to Slim's this morning and got this..


And it doesn't stop there cause now Miles is talking about converting right away to tri-fuel..

Then got off my part-time a little early, so ran down to Sam's and grabbed this because again someone here just had to mention something about a free charger..


And now gotta decide if I get the free trickle, or the discounted charger.. lol..

NEVER ENDS!!!!!! lol..

Crazy story about Slims this morning.. couple guys got parking tickets, and one guy actually got 3 cause he was.. Parked illegally, expired safety, expired registration.. All the $$ he supposedly saved was spent before the doors even opened..

 

Thanks. When I got stuck on those hard to reach bolts I was thinking "what the hell did I get myself into". It took me a while, I was kind of too far into it to give up.

 

Way to be persistent! Mike, Leo and I were over at Ivens today modding Leo's Mom's Taco with my old (new) Off-Road suspension parts. Leo said he wanted to do the BHLM as well, so I think he and I will do it at the same time. My oven never gets used except for an occasional pizza, chicken strips and tator tots for my daughter. I think it's time to cook some headlamps...

 

Neil...you plan on taking that up to Peacock Flats? If so...I'll bring a large flat screen TV/blueray player and we can watch vids...lol

Oh yeah...and the guy that got all the tickets for all the expired shit...Nice!!

 

I'm bringing my generator too maybe neil can bring his sound system up and we can watch frozen. Maybe mike can bring the popcorn.

 

LMAO!
