Randy "The Thread Killer" strikes again...

 

so im about to order some projectors. whats everybodys thought on this setup. is the upgraded ballast worth the five bucks. also, can anyone recommend shrouds?

 

Think my dinky welder would be able to handle frame stiffening plates??

 

How thick are the plates?

Are you welding the plates to an open edge or laying flat against the existing frame (like a doubler)? I know your welder will get into frame enough, just question how well it will get into the stiffening plates.

You may have to prep the plates with tapered edges.

 

Thanks brent, I'll look up the plates when I get home. I will lay it flat like a doubler

 

Ouch Brent!!! I see how it is...

 

Remember to run short beads (about 2") and space them out. One bead on one end then go to the other end for the next, alternating sides and top/bottom. Work your way around the piece and then stitch them all together. This will help prevent any warping due to overheating one section.

 

Bevel the edges and if you're really worried plug weld in a pattern.

 

"Bevel" - that's the word I was looking for instead of taper... THX!

 

But I'm the thread killer?!? Dick! LOL

 

Urgently need to find a home for the pup.

If anyone knows any decent family or individual interested please get them in contact with me.

Not asking for any money or anything of the sort.

 

Have you tried a rescue group for the specific breed?

 

55w will kill your bulbs faster, 35w is the way to go IMO. Would also go for a 4200/4300k bulb

 

thanks man, did a little more research and I kept reading that so I went with the 35watt bulbs. Ended up going with the D2S kit, 35 watt 5k bulbs, 35 watt ballasts, h4 relay and orbit shrouds

 

OME springs in . Mod day needed

 

Jake what's the breed again? Shoot me a PM and tell me about the temperment now vs 6 months ago when we talked on the phone.

 

Anyone going to the STARR MOTORS 7th ANNUAL OFFROAD DAY tomorrow (0930-1600)?

I went last year and it was alright. There is a trail you can ride (costs money) and raffles. Mostly jeeps and RAV's (redneck assault vehicles). Let me know if interested.

If you have a meetup account, you can check it out here:

These are the Apollo shrouds for reference.

 

thanks man, ive seen a bunch of guys go with those but I saw a set with the orbits that looked good so I figured Id fgo with those. cant decide on a paint scheme yet. thinking about BHLM, paint the bowls a gunmetal grey, and the shrouds black. thoughts?

 

i left my bowls chrome and painted the shrouds black along with BHLM. I think ckeene did the same. gives u almost a black chorme like appearance
