    Wow man nice Truck! I've been wanting to do the same thing as you did to my prerunner! I've done lots of Body work, and some mechanical, do you have a list of steps for the 4x4 conversion? I'd really appreciate any advice or info you'd be willing to share.

    Most importantly, thank you for serving.

    First off, nice decision on going with the retrofit source. Love them. i got the 55w with 5k in a regular clear lense housing. I didnt have the balls to do the full retrofit like yours. your retrofit is very clean. Was it hard to get it all lined up evenly? I know it must have been painstakin. also i love the 98-00 front ends cuz not too many around anymore. one last question. Does your ride have the rear e-locker? if you ever thought about upgraging? all in all once you do your quality lift, your ride is the best ive seen yet when it comes to a ground up build. congrats man.

    After I stressed out about not being able to line it up it worked fine haha there's a little ring that's supposed to line it automatically but I guess the housing is made with a little tilt if you use it so I just grinded it off, eye balled it then fine tuned it once they were on the truck, quite easily actually I can grab the back of the projector and tilt it where I need yet it doesn't turn from driving or off road use :D and yeah I've got the stock e locker even though I dot use it anymore ha

    What are you using for donors for your OMD's? I plan on using the same method for my rear lift.
