    alex, when your all finished you should try and get your truck in a magazine. it already looks good enough to be on front cover!

    wish i couldve gone to the AZ trail day and seen it in person.

    I got to drive Alex's truck before he drove it. :cool:

    It rode great, I can only image it rides perfect since he got the triple bypass and the KM2s installed.

    The light bar is f'n sweet Alex :thumbsup: Props to Cliff and Rick.

    So A little update but no pictures

    Since I last updated this I added a new kenwood stereo so I could listen to music and I added new alpine speakers all the way around. I added a Bottle opener in the bed. I changed my supercharger belt. and thats about it.

    On the weekend of Aug 6th I'll be:

    Upgrading my carrier bearing to a beefy one because mine died the other day
    Rebuilding and valving my King c/o
    Replacing the Front wheel bearings
    Repacking the CVs
    Replacing All the bushings on my Total Chaos kit and adding grease zerks to the arms
    Welding some cracks that I have gotten and found. and gusseting some things
    Refiberglassing my tail light.

    Needless to say I (and some friends at the shop) will be busy lol

    Poly. I was told the other ones would get noisy and not worth the money.

    Oh I'm not glassing the whole thing just fixing the little tabs that the taillight screws into.

    I keep for getting to do the cup holder mod lol I have the cups and the hole saw too.


    Thanks Man

    see Build page for details.
    That's a build done right.
    And I love those Enduros. Those things are hard to get. Always on back order.




    I think it's just an amber cover...

    No i don't its so faded now anyways that its just about clear. I need to either order a new one or recover this one with amber film. But when they are new and bright amber they work rather well to cut through the dust. the sdhq bug has amber covers on two of the HIDs and they love them. But they are running VisionX lights. Some guy on DR sells the covers for like $12 I think

    Thanks man. I love my enduros. They look great and they are strong as hell. and for $98 each you can't beat that. smashed one last summer and the SOB still holds air lol The only other wheels I would want are a Set of Method Beadlocks with the inside powdercoated gun metal grey. They look so bitchin' like that! But $2k in 6 wheels is to rich for my blood.

    Yeah it will be amber until it fades in the sun. I have the same lights as you. the Cover came with everything so i just left it there. If you are running only 3 lights I'd say the center one amber because it will be right in front of you. If you have a light rack on top then the bottoms should be amber and tops clear.

    No vendor. You will have to look up HIDx cover or something. He has a maroon truck with white glass. sells the lights and different covers for them.
