    No more lost corner lights. One piece headlight/corners. Actually a really nice flush fit to the fiberglass fenders. And for the first time since, well basically ever, I have front parking lights.

    Those are sweet! Is it possible to retrofit them? That would be badass.

    I just did a retrofit on my Tundra. It looks good, and works great, but it was a giant pain in the fucking ass. I'm not good at the Martha Stuart shit. That said, yes it would be possible, would just need the smaller projectors and a lot more dremel work and patience. Not going to do it anytime soon if at all.

    Haha, I know what you mean. It is a pain and I bet it would suck to take those lenses off.

    I have those same headlights! Fucking love them! I use the led as a blinker and spliced in resistors so it's blinks normal speed! And they have help up pretty well. There is just a tiny bit of sand in mine and the coating on the out side is just barely starting to peel after about a year.

    Yes.
    I gusseted the motor mount perches.
    They will vibrate your fillings out at idle. While moving you don't notice.

    Soooo...truck has been basically sitting since Superstition. Needed to do some maintenance stuff. Finally got around to dropping the skid plate and there was gear oil everywhere. Passenger side output shaft seal looks like it was leaking since the trip to SoCal. Topped off the fluid and the diff was only half full.
    Installed the new seal, and all is happy again. But...I guess I need new front diff bolts. Both of them look like this:

    One less problem to worry about. One more item scratched off the Moab list.
    Goodbye ABS for good.

    Honestly it wasn't that bad. It would have been even easier if there was no bypass shocks and bypass hoops in the way. In the end I didn't really care about the old lines so I wasn't exactly gentle on them.
    New lines went in even faster than removal of the old stuff. Bled the brakes, found one small leak where I forgot to tighten one of the lines, and the rest was history.

    Isn't the ABS integrated into the computer? What happens when it's gone? Or does it end up being an option that wasn't installed?
