The Alpha Build

im gonna do the bhlm again, then maybe sometime down the road...do projector retrofit! since ill have an extra set after i swap headlights and then if im brave enough to tackle it haha

 

Why not just swap the lenses instead of doing the BHLM again?

 

I didn't think of doing that, but also these new housings are in way better condition than mine are and plus, I don't really mind doing it all over again. I could also just swap bezels too

 

with that extra set of housings I would throw those lenses on your old set and just take my sweet little time retrofitting the good housing. my $.02

 

Yaaaa....but I don't have the $$$ for retros lol

 

down the road....down the road I would do mine but don't want to buy another set of lights right now.

 

true true lol, well it just so happens that I have another set now lol, so when I do finally get the retros, I'll be able to put the other set on until I get the retros done on my good set

 

got my wheelers super bumps and OME CB drop installed and got my new tailgate decal put on

Old decal


New one, it's only slightly bigger, but i like it


CB drop, i still need to get a DS spacer that fits my ds


Super bumps!!!




My hilift actually came in handy lol, first time actually using it other than just to show off haha


Another sticker to add to the collection

 

truck is looking good!!!!!

 

Think I'll finally pull the trigger on a hi lift soon, need to be able to adjust my coilovers easier. Your back window is starting to look like a sticker bomb ad

 

thanks man!

I really do like the hilift, it's pretty freaking awesome

 

You find a way to mount it yet ?

 

nope lol, either it's sitting here or in the back cab haha

 

You need to fab up some mounts like I did. Kinda stole the idea from the 4X innovations mounts. Made some for Nam also.

 

ooooohhhh that would be cool to do

 

you know spruce I just realized that mine is the 60", it barely fits in the bed laying in it lol. if anything is in front of it....the tailgate wont close lol, so i dont know if itd work on the bed rails like that XD

 

Oh damn mine is 48". What if you rotate the piece on the end so it's not as long.
Just measured my bed & 60" will just fit.

 

I could ya, what exactly is that piece for?? and I guess those pieces for your mounts they just slide into the bedrails?

 

That piece is for winching, you can attach a chain or strap to it & then to like a tree or the truck. Then hook a chain to the other end of the jack & then to the truck or fixed object.
Like this.

It can also be turned sideways & use the jack as a big ass clamp.

Yeah I drilled & tapped pieces of 1/4" steel to bolt the mounts to, the plastic end caps on the track come off & they just slide in.
The mount & tapped steel basically sandwiches the track. They make T nuts that fit in the track but I didn't feel like buying them.

 

ooooohhhh ok that makes sense, so its basically like a 2 in 1 come along and jack as well haha. hmmmm, id like to get a mount going in the bed rails for the jack so its always on my truck, I'll have to mess around with making something, I'll eventually want to mount it to my roof rack whenever I get/make one
