    I forgot to post it here, but I mounted up my 30" bar the other day and I've got to say...it is one bright light. Full setup:

    Mini H1 6.0's
    30" Combo
    14" Flood with removable/movable amber lens covers. They'll fit either bar perfectly.

    Took the skids off so I can get the truck aligned. Also added a 1/4 inch spacer on both sides up front to help the saggy ass suspension.

    Thanks! I didn't want to get too crazy with lights up front. Plus, spot lights are meant to go up high to throw light down the road.

    I would clean the throttle body and MAF.

    Then change your plugs and possibly wires.

    All relatively cheap and very easy to do.

    My MPGs have taken a hit mostly due to my drastic change in commute. But I also threw a code for my upstream O2 sensor and had to change it. So I'm assuming my downstream sensor is pretty bad, so I'm going to preemptively change it out soon. See if it helps any.

    Altitude.

    In a nutshell: Higher altitude equals less compression equals less octane needed.

    Can I ask you a question?

    I see your USB input on the head unit. I have the same for my iPod (my primary music source in my truck). However I bought the 6 switch panel as well and will eventually install it.

    Just have no idea where I am going to put my iPod. It currently sits in the pocket below the head unit. Very tucked away and clean looking.
