Weather turned to shit! But got the other side done. Just need to order some reverse lights. I think that's the last nutsert I have to do. Glad about that.

What lift are you planning on?

either the evo bolt on coil over or enforcer.. can't decide.. either is a good choice. trying to see if anyone here has nitrogen. from what i've read and heard the kings don't come charged. but i'm not a 100% sure on that.:thinking:

so i have a little electrical gremlin going on. the rear lights work, running, brake and blinkers. but when the running lights are on the passenger side wont blink. drivers side works fine. but passenger side won't blink with running lights on. :thinking::thinking::thinking:
where is the blinker fluid? maybe i should check that..

Anything to do with your 3rd brake light splice? I was just getting ready to wire mine up that's been sitting in the garach after seeing a thread you all had a couple of days ago.

i used the actual third brake light wire for the oro light. my guess is these lights don't draw enough power maybe? driver side works fine, passenger side is the only side:thinking: front light blinks. still havent put on my side markers either.

I got it figured out. I fucked up on the light. White is ground, for what ever reason on trailer lights, but I had the red and black backwards. Red goes to yellow and white and black goes to purple and white.

hmm if you used those wires like you showed earlier you should be fine, thats how my led kit is wired up and everything works great. Well i should say the tails work, the little reverse lights would light up when the engine was running, not full bright, but still always on.

Have you thought about painting the seam below your tailgate black? IMO that looks a lot better when you remove the rear bumper.

Tried it out, looks pretty good. Thanks for the idea. Also put some fresh paint on the wheel wells. Gave her a good washing, Wyoming winters are brutal. Hadn't washed her since last summer.also cut the pinch seams, didn't need to yet, but the factory 90° seam bugged me.
I also ordered a tow hitch for the white jeep, I didn't get the tow package on it, 450 dollar option, but the new jeep came with 19/60 springs. The dozer came with a tow package and has 18/59 springs. I really don't understand their springs. Also ordered some lights for the reverse lighting.

Yes, looks so good now! Nice work.

I know all my pictures are of my driveway, but I actually do go off road, lol. Here are some pictures of the mountains I like to wheel through. It's in the snowy range mountains in southern Wyoming.

I know that area very well, looks like around the Bow River/Sand Lake Lodge/Elk Mountain areas? Been up there both in the Summers and Winters (snowmobiles) all my life. Great pics.

The cabins are the ones at sand lake, the lake is deep lake and the others are down the 105 b road. So far my favorite lakes are bear lake and phantom lake. The ones you have to hike into would be the shelf lakes and deep. Gonna explore by encampment this year in the Sierra madres. I think cow creek reservoir, silver lake and north and south spring creek lakes. Kinda looking forward to cow creek and silver, I heard the roads are pretty rough. Can't wait till summer. They just got a foot of snow last week. No getting up there without a snow mobile

Reverse lights came in, couldn't afford rigid dullies, so got eBay "foolies". I'm gonna put them on the crossmember, the holes are perfect, but couldn't get a socket in one and gonna have to drill out the other, I think I'm just going to weld a threaded stud instead.

Got the reverse lights on. Ended up welding a threaded stud on each end. Didn't feel like drilling. And they even light up. I'll see how bright they are tonight.

Add some led side makers. Thinking I need to get a winch and maybe a light bar for up front. That hole in the bumper where a winch goes looks lonely.

Well my change oil reminder came on and I am due for an oil change, thinking of going with synthetic oil. Seems most people run mobile 1. But I noticed some people go with 5/30. What should I go with?
Also since I have the oil out, figured I'd order the evo pto tec skids. Also ordered a procal and evo no limits say bar thing. My motor works fine, just rather run that and possibly sell my motor.

I'm running Mobile1 Extended Performance (15000 mile) 5w-30. I don't run it 15000, but it's guaranteed and tested to that standard.
