Well Merry half-Christmas to me... FedEx delivered the springs and shocks from my 7" maxtrac lift... But that's it so far. The anticipation is too much.

Fixed a small problem with the front cup holder. Wouldn't stay closed. Got some velcro to hold it in place. Not the best but it's working. :)

got motivated to actually work on the black truck this past weekend, hooked up to a different computer and got a few other readings about whats going on so gona try a few things and hope for some light at the end of the tunnel...


and since I was asked last time about how many sets of lights I have I figured id post a pic of me just trying out another set I had laying around lol

and then just a good daytime shot of the daily with the black headlights and white strips, im really liking the look they have going down the road!

also the daily has a new mod coming in the mail this week :naughty:

no update on the blue truck, its still under the cover in the garage :happy107:

Yesterday, my one muffle fell off- not completely since the hanger was good.
& fought with it in -2 deg C do 25 min & back on.

Don't know how it came off - it didn't want to go back on & all the other clamps were still tight - so was the one that come off, so how knows :suicide:

Lil_Ram & HeavyD - You guys need to keep right foot off of it. I've heard of roasting the tires and driving the wheels off it, but I never heard of drive it until the exhaust falls off. :)

I finally went and got my windows tinted this afternoon. 5% on the back window and 35% on the sides. I would rather have 20% on the sides, but it won't pass inspection that dark.

Got moog uppers and precision lower control arms both with greasable joints installed today, and opened up that maxtrac lift and stole the bilsteins for the front... Just some preparations.

Got some new fog lights installed to remove the blue bulb. Also got the halos installed in them can't see the halos in the pic since the fog light and halos are on the same switch and it's night time.
Does anyone have any experience with bead balancing I believe I'm going to do it Tuesday evening since I'm off. Found it on Pirate4x4.com and they said using the higher end air soft bbs to do so work great. But want some advice from someone that's done it.

bought some 4th gen style tow mirrors for the daily, I love these things so much I already ordered another set for the blue truck and ill probably get another set for the black ones as well, but they look like the 4th gen ram tow mirrors, and they even have built in LEDs, so I didn't have to run my own leds like I used too, I wired them up to the parking lights instead of the signals and LOVE THEM!, perfect brightness and not even a slight shake folded up on the highway and even better no wind noise from these!

If me buying a second set of these right after installing these isn't enough to say how much I like them then I don't know what else to say lol
