    Yeah :bananadead: I've always been up for the tougher trails but have drawn the line where I know the lack of proper skid plates will cost me big time. So this is a big step in that direction for me, next will be upgraded suspension. I'll need it now, these skids are fucking heavy and will weigh down my OME 881s noticeably I imagine. Got a few solid freelance gigs this summer that I'm waiting on checks from at the end of this month, most likely going Kings when they do. 1st gen King c/o's really aren't that pricey compared to some other setups ($990).

    I believe it is the stock elocker and he needs the harness from what I can remember.

    Yea I just threw and air locker in my truck with the arb compressor. Pretty straight forward.. happy with it so far

    I kinda mismatched different harnesses though instead of using the arb one

    A significant amount of fabrication is required to make the e locker fit on top of the obvious wiring. The harness is no big deal it's just finding a shop that is confident in doing the fabrication since I do not want a shop to fuck up and make my truck non op. So pardon me for doing my research, buy once cry once

    It's only notching the pumpkin. Not that difficult. Buy once cry once? Agreed, but you didn't buy anything... :notsure:

    3 hours of sleep now off to the next day :bananadead:

    Agreed. Unless he just picks up the real harness from a parts truck

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Figured out why Charlotte's been winking... Anyone ever seen an LED blow out?

    Most aftermarket lights you see aren't DOT and aren't street legal. Companies don't have the time or care to pay for it. Hell even a projector retrofits would be not DOT approved technically.

    My pods I use for fogs ain't legal. That's fo sho.
