BIG ISLAND HI Thread

Heck yeah I feel like the kid at Christmas and all the toys are around the tree but its only the 21st...

 

"Happy birthday! I have a new truck!"

 

Pretty much it was going to be a surprise but I sold her truck to Ftroop rather than trade it in... modded to my tastes but her DD

 

And we appreciates it!!

 

I think I'm gonna just say screw it and do the retrofits when I get back... now how to break it to the wife...

 

Anytime

 

They're 100% worth it

 

Doesn't look too hard, just don't want to mess up the assemblies. Plus I am mechanically/electrically challenged...

 

i think if you have a good set of instruction then youre good to go. cause once your crack open those assemblies, shit just got real LOL. thats how i am with my headlights, i no like jack em up and always get apprehensive on doing it, but once you crack open the assemblies, its go time...and always turns out good, atleast for me it does.

 

I have the electrical knowledge of a 6 year old and the mechanical skill of a quadriplegic duck, but still got mine done in less than three hours

if you get the D2S/mini H1's theyre really simple to do
open
put silicone washer on projector
put projector in reflector bowl
put locking washer on other side
close up
hook up to HID's
that's it

Ive found that pretending to know what im doing gives me a great sense of can-do bhahaha

 

kona: lol. i know what you mean. at first it looks like a daunting task. you psyche yourself up to do it, once youre actually in the root of it, then it gets easy. i think its the whole initial process.

 

I dont have a phone any more. I ran it over and cant afford a new one so i'll have to check on here for updates. If anyone is up to it, we will be camping on the kona side this weekend. 4wd will be needed and we will be diving/fishing. PM me if anyones on this side and is down.

If anyone is looking for 15x14 Weld super singles on 35 boggers(20-40% tread) for $700, 18x9 XD Hoss on 35x13.5 baja claws for $700(20-30% tread) or stock 2005-up trd snow flakes with 285/75 bfg m/ts(2 40% two pretty bolos) for $400 then let me know. Rims do have slight rash from off roading or the tire machine. Let me know by PM. will trade for iphone but also need to pay some bills.

 

I have these if anyone's looking 8 miles no tpms

 

Oh snap! I forgot it was friday over there!! Does that mean you picked up your truck Dave? Congrats bro, I like see um!

 

Yessir

New rig on the road

 

looks good. i was actually gonna pick up the 16x10 version of those rims! lol. i got my 285s waiting for them >=).

 

Thx...I've been good...not pushing it yet letting it break in.
I didn't want to cut fender so I went 255/75/17 on a 9" rim

 

no man! dont do that to your new truck. your choice was sound. looks good just like that. those wheels are one of the very few choices in 10" and wider. was between that, mickey thompson, centerline, and welds. was gonna get the pro comp cause theres a good price upon them and when i sell my welds, gonna get a new set (oily status=20x12) for car shows and cruises and what not.

 

I got my ProComps on Amazon free shipping...I rub only at turn on my front flaps which I removed this morning...BTW where did you get your tint done?

 

Nice truck Dave and congrats to your wife. The whiiine must be nice.
Guarans someone will pick up that set...its just so fresh.

Are those mickey t rims? I have 3 good 16x8 ones...one more and its a good set. I should get on the ball...never used Amazon before.
