Morning Fla...

 

Mornin folks here's another dog

 

the grill in the scoop is 16 1/4'' wide and 1 5/8'' tall at the center. for depth, from where to where are you wanting a measurement of? from the lip right above the mesh, to where it ends close to the windshield? if so, 17 3/4''. if you want from the front of the scoop insert itsself, where it ends closer to the windshield, that's about 23''.

If it still does it after checking those, you may want to check your leaf spring centering pins. takes a little longer than the other bolts, so check those first. i bent a centering pin a couple years ago, and the axle shicted about a half inch if every once in a while if i hit the brakes or accelerated right. made a nice noise.

you can easily turn it into a driveshaft skid. Mike turned a budbuilt traction bar into a drive shaft skid. i think he used 1/4'' plate.

 

Next picture we see of Nammers truck will have something like this:

 

This gets my vote Nam

 

thanks colin, the only nice guy on TW!!!

2 pics =


btw, it's gonna look badass, should be done in bout a week, yall will be jealous

 

gotta admit, that guy is pretty creative, look at the wheels. and he's proud of it!!

 

Well, just finalized my bartering process with Thomas!!! Bought 2 of his 4" kragens to fill the gap where i took out 2 of my Hells for Jim! I was kinda nervous cause i wasnt sure if they would fit, but they do, with plenty of room!!!!!!

Not the best pic, but i just got home and mounted them real quick. I have to put some washers to lower them a bit for the wiring to clear the mount bar, but other than that, they are great. Then all i have to do is wire them up and LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!!!!

 

looks good..have you played with the idea of moving the hellas in and the kragens out?

 

Crazy you say that cause i was already thinking it and was going to ask peoples opinion on that. I think it might look better if they were switched, but then i was thinking how the light patterns would work out in different locations. The hellas are spot lights and the Kragens should spread their light nicely so i was thinking i might get better results leaving them like this. But what do you guys think?

 

If it were me.....id convert the hellas to HID as well ahahah.

but yes...id put the kragens out and hellas in, personally it would look better to me.

also if the kragens spread light the further apart they are the further they spread..? are they the "euro" pattern ones or whatever?

 

Not sure about their patterns, and yes, i am already planning on converting the Hellas, thats my next step when i come across an extra $40 to buy the DDM tuning kit. All i know of the Kragens is that they are nice and bright when i saw them in action on Thomas's truck.

 

and then....RETROFITS!!!! ahaha jk (or am i? )

 

No retrofits for me, too damn expensive.

 

swap 'em.

the amount you are moving them is not enough to do anything to the cross pattern of the different beams. even if it were, you usually group spots towards the center anyways.

edit: for example, i have three spot beams on my truck, the two on the center of the roof rack, and the one on the center of my light hoop. i wouldn't have it any other way. it's a very consistant beam that i know is off the exact center of the truck. if you have two on the outsides, you have to worry about a gap somewhere right in front of you where the spots don't touch. then, instead of using the driving beams to iluminate outward, you have to aim them up or down beyond where you'd normally put them to fill the void right in front of you.

 

Then swap i will, when i go to wire the Kragens i will swap them with the Hellas. Cant wait to get them wired up.

 

added an edit to give you some reasoning on why to swap.
