alex, if you do a retrofit on the projectors do not get them from ebay or something... this is definitely something you will want to go first class on or just stay home. contact the retrofits source, believe they still be a vendor on here but if not pretty sure the website is just like TRS or something. I know they do group buys on here all the time.

and Allen, its jsut the red headed stepchild. just dont put that bolt back in when you reinstall it to make for an easier reinstall and to think ahead in the future, it doesnt hurt anything at all to run without the hidden bolt. That is how my truck is now and how my 08 was after i did the bhlm... in fact most all of the guys running a bhlm or projectors on a 2nd gen leave the hidden bolts out.

 

That's what I figured. I, like a dumbass, put it back in before, just strictly because I have a perfectionist attitude and want everything to be right. Glad to know that it doesn't necessarily "have" to be in there.

 

At least you know where it is this time. I don't remember it being that hard to get to, you just have to find it by feeling though.

 

Don't forget you have a Satoshi coming your way! From the talk, I assume your truck is in B'ham, so is that where you will want the grill to end up?

 

Trust me I haven't! I have the money set off to the side. It's the no no pocket:/

 

Alright, so by popular demand, I am looking to perform my standard 4x4 maintainance on December 8th instead of the 7th.

Currently Stoney Lonesome is the expected location, but may change depending on who is planning to attend and the general concensus.

Let me know if you think you will join.

 

you get my text peepaw?

 

i know it would be hard but some want to do something after the 21st? i know it is a 2 day window but i'm gonna try and do some small riding. one of those days. i know mat will for sure.

 

I'll go on both dates. Alex, maybe we can go to the slab instead of a park.

 

you afraid you might get kicked out of a park for throwing people out the back if you go too many times???

 

the slab is fine, i gotta get brake lines first

 

Yep, still working some logistics before I can fully respond.

 

gotcha... leapfrog is waiting to be told the final plans... but im thinking another day would be best... maybe late afternoon?

 

So slab on 12/8?

 

No. I won't have anyone in the back of the truck! Lol

 

Did I see your cruiser being towed behind a tundra the other night? It was getting off of 459 turning left onto hwy 280. Anyways. So far it's Stoney on 12/8 slab when alex comes into town

 

So I finally got around to ordering and installing my superbrightleds for my map and dome lights. I ordered a couple different colors (red and cool blue) just to have a few different variations. Anyway the color and brightness difference is incredible. Definitely a must do mod for anyone. I ended up with 6 map light bulbs and 3 dome light bulbs all for right at $40. Anyway, I took some pics during my install. Sorry for the crappy quality, Galaxy Nexus isn't really known for its awesome camera

Stock Dome light

Stock vs LED map lights
Cool Blue vs Red map lights
Cool Blue Map lights (BRIGHT)
Cool Blue map and dome lights
And finally, what I ended up going with for the time being. Cool Blue map lights with Red dome light

 

Looks good! The red really ties the truck together! Lol

 

BAMATOY,

Saw you yesterday heading north on the parkway right before Martin road yesterday.

 

Yea I live just north of Martin road. Probably just getting off work. I followed that black 4runner out again. Man that thing is sweet!
