    Man, my driver headlight points at the sky in front of the passenger side of the truck and my passenger side headlight points at the ground 6 feet in front of the truck.
    I need to spend more time fixing that.

    I am 90% sure I used a 4mm to adjust mine which is supposedly 5/32 so it is close to somewhere in there. I had to adjust my way up so they didn't point straight at the ground after doing retrofits (They are right at legal now).

    The screw adjusts them slightly from side to side because of the location but its intended function is to adjust up and down I belive

    Driver side is a bit of a pain to adjust in the truck but taking the lights off is even more of a pain. Id leave em in

    Like I said months ago, you're probably going to have to pull the diff out yourself. It sounded like a bad air line leak when we ran Slick Rock and I'd first want to check out the copper line to make sure that isn't broken.

    Sheesh. Sounds like you need to find a new shop :boink:
    But hopefully they will make it right since it was supposed to be fixed when it was there.

    But Fernando is too good to work on his own stuff, remember?

    Tell me about it. I wish I was rich enough to be able to just pay someone to do all the fab work for me. No shame

    Ha! Lets hope I have no issues when I throw an ARB up front in my truck. Might do the install myself depending on the price I get from a local shop, that or maybe ECGS might be cheapest. :notsure:

    Ha! I figured with dual cases and the fact that I tend to drive carefully since I need to daily my truck, I should be "okay." Breaking a CV axle isn't a huge concern. I always care a spare. Might carry 2 if I run Rubicon or other harder trailer.

    Just use ECGS. They built both my diffs. I was going to do it myself. I have set up gears and lockers before in other rigs. I priced everything out and compared it to ECGS price. It was $300 more to have them build them after core return. For the 5 year warranty it carries that was a no-brainer. They have been awesome to deal with.

    Just come wheel with me. I promise you you'll break some CV's. lol
