I think the driving(45º)and Hypershot will be about perfect.



Kind kind of see here:

With the ditch lights added in should make for a great deer spotting combo, which is what Im after haha

You can't get the XL pro is a combo pattern either..so the advantage goes to the Q series there.

 

Can I just say...



I find this photo of Dan's rig hilarious now

So much has changed in less than a year..

 

Yeah they look like a great all-in-one light. It'll be interesting to put them side by side and see the difference. The lights in my bumper are D2 driving lights, so theoretically it should be a similar light output with both sets on.

 

Indeed! Going to try and get some quotes soon. Still think I'll do Amber Squadrons in the bumper for fog lights. Should be okay for me up front anyways.

haha is it named Lil Nellie?

 

It is indeed named LIL’ NELLIE haha

 

Alamost cute...almost.

Nice work Ben. Probably feels pretty good to be able to say you did it yourself.

 

Dang. Took the "shower" off a couple days ago. Other than that, looks the same, right?

 

no more shower? Might need it this next trip

 

So my door issue...tell me what you guys think..

Backing up a lil while ago, didn’t realize my drivers door was open, and I pryed it backwards against a tree. Jammed the lock trying to close it. Got the lock fixed, but the door is out of alignment. It’s forward and out. So it bends the fender when opening, and to even get the door to latch I had to put a half inch of washers on the latch loop. When closed the door is not snug in all the way and kind of “rattles” on the latch.

What do you think bent? The hinge? Or the door itself? Doesent really look like the door...but the hinges are so thick I find it hard to believe they bent. Then again, it is a 3.5ft lever

Included passenger side for comparison ( and even that one isn’t too snug

 

Open the door and look at where the hinges connect to the body. Maybe it just shifted the door forward on the hinges.

 

Like the hinge slid forward on the body? I would not expect that would have that much play. I’ll look...but I don’t see how the hinges could shift forward with the bolts going all the way through them

Update. I got the door closed tighter...just by shutting it harder. I don’t think it will flop around as much now...crossing fingers. I still have to get it to shift back into place though. It’s. Or not smooth by any means closing now

 

Yeah there isn't much play, but there is some. That's where the body shop guys will go to adjust the clearences. It's more helpful to have a second hand to hold the door if you decide to try it. There is play on both ends of the hinge (where it connects to door and the body)

Edit: you can use the paint line around the hinges to help with adjustment. When you move it you will see the primer underneath

 

Passenger side and driver side
It looks to me like the hinge pulled away from the body a little bit

 

Ah yeah that would do it. If you support the door with a jack stand you could take one off at a time and try to put it in vise to bend them back

 

Do you think the hinge bent or the body it’s bolted to? What are the chances I get enough leverage and a thick enough pry bar to bend that hinge? Seems unlikely

 

Hinges are cheap enough, but make sure the metal it's bolted to isn't bent tho

 

yeah i was going to say the body metal probably bent if anything. Take the door off and pound it flat. Real mount the door when you remount it. Pain to do alone. But best way is close it with the bolts loose on the hinge then move the door on the hinge side and tighten down.

 

That’s what I’ll do. Take door off, beat hinge back into place while attached, loosen hinge bolts, get door in place, tighten.

Thanks for the tips guys!
