    I guess that for how much I can really use them (offroad - due to them being so freaking bright I would blind others on the road or get pulled over immediately) the amber that I have with the lower grill will suffice for my needs. I would be using them in the rain and/or snow. They are a newer company (10 years) and I really don't see them advertising like Cali-R does so maybe that is the case. I know that they are huge in the Colorado market and maybe don't have the capacity to go bigger.....which in my eyes is a plus for quality control aspects. The only lights I don't have from them are my front 2 fog cubes since they don't make a sae cube as of yet.

    Rebadged the passenger side of my 2010. I think I put the emblem slightly too high and it’s probably going to drive me nuts! Oh well, spent way too much time trying to measure out the right spot. At least it’s level!

    That’s pretty much exactly what happened tbh, her arrogance and just downright shitty attitude cost her store $150, if only she just would’ve been a little more polite about things. Once I noticed how they were locking the box, I started quietly laughing to myself and my girl couldn’t figure out why I was laughing. I told her “just wait till we get outside and I’ll show you that this box isn’t broken” :rofl:

    thanks man! I’ve only negotiated price one other time on a wheelbarrow that had a flat tire and the paint was scratched. Surprisingly enough they said it wasn’t their job to refill the tire with air, so they let it go for $50 cheaper than retail. Definitely did not complain about that one, scored a wheelbarrow for $25:thumbsup:

    You definitely scored a deal on that one.

    This COVID shit has been driving people crazy. I feel sorry for store workers having to deal with even more uptight customers(not saying you’re one of them) during these times while being at risk that they lose all their patience. Also people on this island no always do their research like you do by simply taking measurements, that they just buy’em blindly then wonder why no work. Is the selfish, inconsiderate people that ruin the picture for those that try for help. You had try for help, the workers just been on the edge

    Found out I used the wrong wire when I made my door harness for the power mirror. I used 18ga. but I wanted to use 20ga.
    I want to use 22ga. white wire to do my navigation but I can't find any.

    I called the dealer today to find out what the text message was about. I'm having the frame treatment done next month.

    I wonder what I will get as a loaner?

    Amazon has a ton. Home Depot also carries some garage door opener wiring that is 22 gauge.

    Icon RTX pack on level one, u-bolt flip kit & Timbrens plus extended braided lines.

    Gave me 3” of lift initially but has settled to 2.5”. As long as my shocks can handle it I’m happy, drives so much better than the OEM pack at 56K miles.

    Also thank you Wheelers!

    2018 new Frame (thank you Rust!), FJ T-case swap. SPC(LR) UCAs, Bilstein 5100s front - rear, OME 883 at 0, HeadStrongOffRoad 3 leaf progressive AAL, MESO custom 2nd gen (Red/White) LED dome & Ultimate Maps, Spyder Halo Projector w LEDs (which SUCK), Spyder LED tails
    Have you found that it was necessary to remove the top portion of the (front) fender flare?
    I recently went to 305/65/17 on 17x9 -38 wheels and have removed my flares, have trimmed the body some at the back and front where it the tire would rub (pinch weld is folded and CMC is done)

    And am now debating how much is needed to remove/trim off of the actual flares....

    They told me that they only do 2 tacos a day and they would need it for at least 6 hours. I dropped it off for 8am, rode my bike back home. I picked it up for 3pm.
