    Thank you both for the response. Thankfully it is not a bad financial situation, just need to get something that costs less.

    Good Advice! Sometimes I get paralysis by analysis reading all the info on this site. You are right about tire size, I think that is will just go with 265/65R17 to make sure I don't have to deal with any rubbing.

    I do not plan to use my anytime fogs with the brights on. They main reason I am doing the Mod is that we get a lot of early morning fog and I drive a lot of country back roads to work. Ive done this on previous vehicles and it helps me see better under the fog rather than the head lights just reflecting everything back in my face. Oh and seeing you and other members post about their in state inspections really makes me appreciate the old Hoosier state!!

    Got out in the woods with my buddy to show off my new @CaliRaisedLed ditch lights. Even with the stealth light bar and fogs, the ditch lights really help with the extra wide light distribution! 45036BF6-6535-4628-AA5F-D29D26816E6F.jpg

    Sheesh, out here in the northwest they don’t care about anything. Never heard of anyone here getting a ticket for illegal tint (though there is a legal limit and I know tons of people, past vehicles of mine included, with 5% all around). Nor heard of anyone get in trouble for crazy aftermarket lights, big mud tires sticking way out of fenders, loud aftermarket exhausts, certainly not fogs on with high beams. I’ve never even had a vehicle inspected when titling or registering. Doing an emissions check at a little van in a gas station parking lot every couple of years is about the extent. Washington, and Idaho seem to have a pretty carefree attitude towards vehicle mods, in both urban centers or elsewhere. I travel a lot in Oregon too with the same observations.

    Life gives you many opportunities but as we get older life starts to take away.

    So enjoy life to the fullest.

    I've finally installed my 2Lo Module w/switch. Works great and I can now look forward to using it on my high altitude and very steep drives on pavement. 4Lo would work except there are hairpin turns on pavement.

    Thanks to @Up2NoGood for creating this mod for us.

    50/50 Acetone, ATF mix works wonders. Better than PB or liquid wrench IMO.

    just use Liquid Wrench- Acetone is solvent/ reducer for ATF which is thick AF.... but then again, I can see it working too....

    I believe LW can penetrate further.... anything is better than a raw dawg screw/bolt....
