I thought that was you. Very nice!

 

yessir! thanks!


did the Operation Moab and BAMF LCA skid writeups as well

 

Very cool Bob. I see that you are also a contributor as well. Nice.

 

thanks...yea got two articles in that issue

 

shock is already rebuilt and being sent back to me from DSM...

can't say enough about these guys and their customer service +1...and a big 1 at that




got my headlight fixed over the weekend...looks so much better with the new clear plastic on it! it now makes my driver side look like crap haha..eventually will take that one apart and replace the plastic to even the look out...

managed to figure out my wiring gremlin while i was working on the headlight as well...had replaced the marker lights with the ones i got with the new-to-me headlights and now have my ARB and factory marker lights as my running lights, then my amber middle lights are my turn signals..

let's see...my license plate bracket is on backorder but my LED license plate lights just came in...

figured out my motorcycle turn signals as well over the weekend...just waiting on my HIDs to come in from china..

also have begun work on my cooling system trying to get my running temps down on the bike...she runs at 220 almost constantly..when i am moving it'll drop down to 210-215, but as soon as i stop it jumps rapidly up to 220-230F! so i'm starting with the cheap fixes and going up as needed...new radiator cap and temp sensor have been ordered along with a fluid flush and the refill will be mainly water wetter

 

Those rock lights are sick! They look pretty close to mine.

Where did you get the extra lens for the headlight, if you don't mind me asking?

 

yea i was going to go through you, but i needed to save some money so i got some strips from LED warehouse

found a guy locally who was selling his old factory headlights that he took off when he swapped in aftermarkets...i have the driver side waiting to be taken apart, just need some time again..not high on the list though

i lucked out because i got them for $50 and they were in excellent condition..

i know there are a couple other guys selling some stock housing around here, but you'd have to pay for shipping...

 

shock just came in!

gotta stop by home depot to figure out a better way to mount the resis then going to throw it on tonight! going to be nice having working shocks on all four corners again

 

Spaced my reservoir off the frame this time giving my hose a better angle around the shock mount. Hope this setup works out better!

 

Nice, diggin the rock lights!

 

I might have to get some of those headlights....

So when are you coming down to Utah to do a run with us?

 

thanks man..couple different rock light types thrown in there, but it came out pretty good for a budget setup.

minus the gargantuan size off the DCLB, there's a lot of things with your rig that i dig haha..came out nice

i was just in Utah! haha but barely any of you guys showed up!

if i make it back out there this year it'll be toward the end of the summer, but my time and $$ are quickly fading as the year goes on

 

I'm still upset about not being able to make it to Moab.

 

yea that was lame...we were very surprised you didn't make it down

 

All of us broke Utahans don't have the cash to spend a weekend in Moab... Haha

x2... With the way taxes turned out this year and a few very newb mistakes set me back a ways...

 

but a group from canada, a large group from the NW and Cali can make it

some trucks from the east coast were even out there that weekend!

i hear ya tho..times are tough...we have to pick and choose our vacations wisely..so much to do, so little time and $$

 

had to order up some hard copies
