Malburg114's 3Link go fast SAS

I’ll grab some pictures of the lights here in a little. Can’t switch hoods or grills sadly. Everything was made to fit these.

it’s the actual back side of the housing where the bulb/reflectors are that hit the cross tube. When I did the fender bar I didn’t think much about the headlights and was lucky they fit how they did. If I could get the housings to bend around the tube or one with a smaller back it would work but so far a heat gun has been unproductive. @SilverGhost posted a picture on his insta of some halo headlights he has which doesn’t have as deep or a housing so that may be an option but I’m not a huge halo/projector fan

 

I could always cut the headlight housing and put some sort of light into it as well and cover the back with aluminum. I rarely drive the thing at night so even a fog light would work. Was thinking the Baja designs squadron sport with the driving lenses and wire it into the headlight switch and then just angle them down

 

I would just weld a tab to a bar and stick a thin round led light in there and call it done. I also don't mind if my truck looks like something out of madmax so your taste may vary LOL!!

 

I'd look at Diode Designs if you're going to go that route. Their cut off is way way way better.

The housing that was used for my new headlights are the one piece headlight housings. The corner light is conneted to the main headlight housing.

 

Oh I see whats going on. Since your cage is in the way and you don't want to modify your cage then pods or any other lights would do. Our headlight housings are so fat and on the backside. Good luck bud.

 

Some pictures. Can see the cage in the first one and it’s only held on by the two bolts in the fender. The way it is now it pulls on the grill and that’s how I broke the driver side tan on top

 

Just a random garage picture to bump the thread

 

Sand hollow yesterday. No real pictures. Just some videos but these are some screen grabs. Truck works really well. I’m making stuff o wouldn’t even look at before all this work.

 

@POSTacoMike has some round headlights that don't look bad.

 

@malburg114 i used Toyota stock buckets from an 80 pickup. Then a set of trucklite heated headlights. I used some stainless 3/8” tube to space the buckets about 5/8” from the rad core. They’re legal, adjustable, and way better than the stock shit. I also threw a whale mouth grille at it, which isn’t a perfect fit, but it’s good enough for now. You have to get a bit creative to fit the side markers. Zipties worked wonders.

 

It does look good. I already ran over the side markers when they fell out the first drive so some aluminum filler pieces will do for that. I saved some pictures from yours for future reference.

 

Another sand hollow trip yesterday. Trucks working good. The 100 amp breaker in the switch panel went bad so had to bypass that mid trail but other than it’s been working good. Also extended the rear shock towers and no more ghetto spacer. Seems to be working well and ready to tune the shocks.

buddy rode with me and took a ton of videos that’ll get posted to my Instagram. Nice to see videos and show everything works pretty well together.

 

Also, it’s to hot for sand hollow or any local trails. Anyone want to do a trip to big bear for John Bull or the trails up there one weekend?

 

Well picked up a new tow rig. Got an insane deal on selling my old 1500 and found a decent deal on a new one. 2021 Ram 2500 with 6.7 diesel. Things sweet and couldn’t be more happy with it. Hopefully it serves me well for years to come.

 

Nothing really new. Ram got a bed liner some fog lights and steps. Working on a new spare tire setup and some aluminum work

itching to wheel but it’s to hot and nobody to go with. Been trying to run John Bull in big bear or something similar but all friends keep flaking.

 

Ummm. Thats not an 01 pre-runner sas converted truck

Jk.


Looking good brotha

 

Heat has been kicking my ass… I hardly leave the house in my off time right now cause it lol. Seems extra hot this year

 

Oh it is. We got another heat wave coming in this week

 

That jeepster is badass!!
