    D2s are pretty much the same except they are a good bit more powerful, can't remember exact specs

    Yeah, i gotta do more research. My plan is to have long, mid, and short distance covered. Already have 2 procomp 130 spots for long distance.... but was thinking that 2 d2 white driving beams for mid distance, and 2 amber duallys or d2s for short distance/floods would probably have me covered.

    Did my Redline Hood Struts at Virginia Beach mod day today with the help of some members. And got my fuse block mounted up. Now to mount the circuit breakers.

    Also my front bumper arrived in FL. Planning on installing in 2 weeks.

    What fir?

    And I'll post a link to the lights when I get home, same ones RuggedT used. I keep having issues with snow pulling them down so I think I'm going to epoxy some saddle ties under the truck and zip tie them up.

    Ahh ok. I've seen his in his built, just not sure what you used. I have an idea for integrating them into the bumpers where they can't be scraped off. Going to try that when I build my bumpers

    I'll let you know what it looks like but I'll probably be doing most of my traveling at night so I can have the most time at home.

    I haven't seen cookie on here in a while even.

    I've had the truck 1yr today. Never expected to do this much to it. Ran it down the Outer Banks, NC today.

    Starting to do research on rear shock relocation, need to keep that rear end planted as much as I can without having a locker. And definitely looking at doing a high-clearance rear bumper in the next few months (lots of OT at work right now :D).

    And starting to plan to go out to Moab in '14!

    Was eyeing that one already, looks to be a good option and is high on the list.

    Thanks for the info on the other Utah areas.


    Mounted the circuit breaker yesterday and finished up wiring the fuse block today. Running wiring and installing the switch tomorrow for a Phantom Trail Hawk 22" light bar that I'm picking up next week.

    Lost track many, many mods ago.
    So jealous you got to go to the Outer Banks. I am hoping to get some time off this summer to run out there. Can't wait to see this thing with the new bumper!

    That was my first time out there. Just spent a few hours there then back home. I'm trying to get back down there for a few days in the summer so I can try to dive the U-boat off the coast. But we'll see what happens with my work schedule :cool:

    I'd have to get the stock 17's because something about them that just makes it perfect. For some reason the 16's look kind of funny with the pizza cutters. Also i wonder how they would be with my bumper design. :confused:
