The Lumpskie Build - '96 5-speed

^Squeaky, thanks for the link. I looks to me like I should be fully legal here in CO. Hey are your behind-the-grill lights HID or Halogen?

 

Great link.

A project high on my list is to put in a pair of nice driving lights either mounted in the bumper, on it, etc...

 

^Looks like 44" is your "Madjik" number for those lights!

 

There have been more developments on the Marlin bearing for the dual case setup. NorCalPR just tore his case apart and found bad wear patterns on his bearing. It looks like I'll be buying an MRC, just in case my Marlin double row wears out and falls apart again.

For your dual case guys, here's the link:

 

No problem. My lights behind the grill are just cheap 55w Halogens. If I ever doing anything different, it will involve removing those, and installing a good LED bar or two good driving lights on my bumper. I don't think its worth converting those to HID.

But changing that is pretty low on my priority list right now...

 

^ Awesome link.

I thought this one was interesting as well:

42-4-219. Number of lamps permitted



Whenever a motor vehicle equipped with head lamps as required in this article is also equipped with any auxiliary lamps or a spot lamp or any other lamp on the front thereof projecting a beam of an intensity greater than three hundred candlepower, not more than a total of four of any such lamps on the front of a vehicle shall be lighted at any one time when upon a highway. Any person who violates any provision of this section commits a class B traffic infraction.


So, it looks like I can still do a headlight retrofit and run all 4 on the street!

What are your CA laws like?

 

im only supposed to have 4 on at a time too


whhoooopss..

 

X2, on 2 lane mountain highways and county roads around here I always use my brights, 4 lights behind the grill, and my LED fogs are always on. I'm sure there's some LEOs on the front range that care, but generally if you not pissing everyone off you'll be OK.

Funny thing is I believe mud flaps are required in Colorado, go take a look at how many trucks have mudflaps, probably 10% or less. Good thing we don't have any of those stupid vehicle inspections either!

 

yea i run..well..everything on late nights..hahaa hell of a lot more then 4..haha

Wy doesn't require them..thank god..or the tires under fenders..also..thank god..haha id be screwed.

and yea the CO popo is too busy with other stuff haha

and there just arent' hardly any in Wy..haha

 

LOL... EPIC WHHOOOOOPSS

I had no idea that mud flaps were required in CO. My truck never had them from the time I bought it...

 

LoL, that's exactly how I picture you!

 

I might be going on a night run on Friday night, if anyone's interested...

 

Night run! YES!


i wish..

 

^Turn your lights on in Wy, and it will seem like your are running right behind us!

 

So, it looks like we've got about 4 rigs going on Friday. Possible trails are Bill Moore, Red Elephant, Cascade Creek and Yankee Hill. We'll probably meet up after 5pm somewhere.

Again, this is a RM4x4 run, but TW guys are more than welcome to join us.

 

I snagged a couple of pics from Dylan of last weeks snow run. Even though I missed it, the pics turned out pretty good!

 

A couple more:

 

Looks like we're doing Yankee hill tonight. Meeting at 6pm.
