    Yea you figure though our stock bulbs do it. And if you have somebody coming at you with silverstars they may also to an extent make it hard for you to see. Nobody knew about projectors they just want to see better at night.

    Been wanting to get out there, but I want to tackle this project first. It's today's priority on the to-do list.


    Taking it in on Tuesday for an alignment, and to check my work.

    Ome coilovers don't change any geometry from stock do they? They have the same extended length right?

    Just trying to figure out if it's my lift that was causing the itr to bottom or if those itrs would bottom out on a stock set up.

    If I remember right from when I did mine, They are about an inch longer overall, so you have a little more droop with them.
    My aftermarket rack bottomed out too, the new OEM unit does not.

    Super easy man, there is an adapter you put on first like your normal candle bulb. Lol put the dust cover on, cut the shroud off first, then twist and lock the bulb. It is a little tight between the battery but it will fit and the plug is a direct plugin. Easy man like 10min tops.

    Question for the ARB compressor. Do I turn it off after the lockers are engaged or does it need to be on the whole time.

    Keep it on. If you have any sort of leak it will kick back on to maintain the pressure and shut off when it's supposed to. It basically shuts itself off automatically with the pressure switch

    Ha. Sounds like they want to sell you something else.

    On mine, all I did was replace the 30 tooth gear assembly with a 33 tooth. It is not perfect but it is way closer than it was. And it has less error that the truck came with from the factory. All stock (gears and tires) there was a 5% error from the factory. Was reading 70 where the GPS said 66. This is pretty typical actually. After regearing and with 33s and the 33 tooth speedo gear the speedo reads 72 and the GPS says I'm actually going 70. The is less than a 3% error. Better than it was from the factory.

    Leave it on as long as you want the locker engaged. It should cycle on its own. On to pressurize the little tank and off as long as the pressure maintains at 90 psi. If the pressure drops, it'll come back on if the switch is still on. When you are done with the obstacle switch it off.

    What kind of UCA's are those? I really like the Total Chaos, but they're currently outside of my build budget.
