i mounted some hella 500s near the bottom of my windsheild!



annnd rolled over 120K, shes just a pup.

 

Have any closeup pics of your a pillar mounts?

 

sadly i do not. me and my father in law cut up some mounts with his plasma torch.. they are mounted under the black grill right under the windsheild. they turned out sweet and the hood has enough room to open without having to loosen the lights which is cool. ill take a few pics tomorrow.

 

parking lights, reverse lights.......oh, and my retro fit headlights Cant wait to drive in the dark! haha

 

Working on the blinker relocation mod. I've already spent an hour and a half and I've only finished one so far haha Doesn't help that I'm ocd about trying to trim it perfect and taking a ton of pictures for a write-up for us 01-04's specifically.

 

Helped finish up eibachs and OMDs on LSC15s truck, also talked to the rents about getting regeard for christmas... hmm 4.56s or 4.88s decisions decisions

 

4.88s. Your an auto.

 

With 33's? I'd say 4:56....

Before somebody flips out, no I don't have personal experience. But from what I've seen, if you want to be able to go 70-75 on the highway and keep lower rpm's then you'll want 4:56's. I plan to go 4:88's for 35's so it's still reasonable on the highway, yet a little more torque.

 

X2 that was my belief

 

So I noticed that the legs on my sliders are bashing my pinch weld... presumably when my body slams on them.

So I be worried about this or file this in the "F'it" folder?

 

I'd probably just say eff it. Maybe trim the pinch weld or bend it back if you want. You could re-position your sliders too, but why bother....

 

Thanks man!

 

I filed it under the "F'it" folder long time ago. Some folks have cut out the pinch weld around the legs.

 

Awesome! Can't wait to see how it looks.

 

The rpms don't matter. Everyone thinks too much about the rpms. The LOAD on the motor is greatly decreased..thus..better mpgs.

Plus your talking like 200 rpm or so difference and a big power difference. Having driving a 4.88 auto v6. It's perfect.

 

They are just self clearancing.

Don't worry about it.

 

I'll take your word on it haha

 

Drove from Albuquerque to Las Cruces and the check engine light came on again and my truck sounds like its going to fall apart... Does autozone read codes for free?

 

Yup, they sure do.
