I find that yellow glares more to me than blue lights. Maybe my eyes are different lol

Yeah I think you are lol. Every **** I see with add-on HID's incorrectly aimed on the interstate I wished I had a 1mil candle power spotlight to shine them right back.

the human eye responds to blue really bad, in fact yellow is the easiest color for the human eye to respond to and blue it about the worst, that's what makes it funny to me when people go all out to have a blue headlight so they can "see better" when ultimately they are only doing themselves harm, the blue makes the eye strain (especially on long drives) and will cause fatigue to set in much faster

Cut the lips off my rear fenders today after a quick consult with Demon-Hemi. I just got tired of them rubbing on off center bumps.

:superhack::superhack::superhack:

gotta always cut haha, I still have to cut more on my blue truck, the cross brace at the back of the cab rubs the driveshaft occasionally

8a45ff1f60fda47a22d8ec4f249177f3.jpg new opt7 LED fog lights 10k lil bit bluer than I thought it would be

that's past a 10k, look up "ice blue" for the color, its almost a real 8-10k temp

in the pic below is an ice blue 9006 bulb, you can see its not a deep blue like the halo but still much closer to a real 10k HID

here is a teal colored turn signal LED and an "ice blue" LED in the headlight, its pretty much right between 8-10k, its still a very noticeable blue while being a semi usable light, I always say stay away from blue but if you want the blue look and functional, this would be the way to go

Installed some 10,000K LED Bed lights today with a switch inside the bed, hidden up in the corner. Don't mind the switch being crooked I fixed it lol and the yellow wires got tucked away after that photo. But DAMN I love how bright they are, it's insane!!!!

Here's the link for them: Pilot Automotive 8" COB 10,000K LED Strips, Polar Blue

Right now everything on their site is 35% off and you can even select "Pay in Store" and your local Pep Boys will gather all the **** you select and have it ready at the register when you get there... I use it all the time! 35% off plus I don't have to search the store for ****!! Win Win!!

Also got new rims this past weekend.

ATX Justice 20x10 with Cooper Zeon LTZ XL Series 275/60/R20 Tires on them.... man are they beefy!! They stick out about 2 inches further then my stock wheels with 275/60 tires!!!

Also, I continued sanding, primering, painting and clear coating my 06-08 Hemi Sport Front Lip. It's all done and just waiting for sunshine tomorrow to install it on my truck!! For spraying it with Duplicolor Perfect Match Primer, Flame Red PR4 & Clear Coat Spray Paint Cans, it came out amazing!!!

Also, because they were having a Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale (25th-28th) for $75 off any order $499+, I ordered myself some Clazzio Leather Seat Covers. I went with Dark Gray Body, Black Leather Inserts with Red Stitching. I hate the 10-12 week wait time, but after I installed my 04 Laramie Electric & Heated Black Leather w/ Gray Suede Seats, but had to take them out and sell them (because of air bag sensors not in 04 seats and my truck is an 06 so I wouldn't pass inspection) but I know how nice leather looks and feels in my truck so the wait will 100% be worth it!!

Here are 2 pictures of a 3rd Gen Dodge Ram with a very similar set of Clazzio seat Covers. These are Dark Gray Bosy, Black Leather Inserts with Orange Stitching. Mine will be the same, but with Red stitching. I actually couldn't decide on colors and insert material (leather, suede and I even contemplated black on black quilted with red stitching) but once I saw these pictures I knew I had to order these colors!!

You better believe I'll be posting pictures once these bad boys get here. I also ordered a set of universal seat heaters for the front 2 seats. I'm kind of on the fence about ordering another 2 sets for the back seats aswell and letting my passengers ride in comfort aswell. I don't know too many people with heated rear seats :)

This happened on my banshee (quad) when I was 14. I was just starting to learn about how cars/quads etc. mechanically work and my front wheel was making a grinding noise for a few weeks but being a poor unemployed 14yr old I couldn't afford to fix it. Well one day I was riding in a field and all the sudden I noticed my front right wheel was rolling in front of my quad, actually rolling faster then the quad was going lol... Next thing I knew, the hub assembly dug into the grass and I was flying in the air lol... $800 repair bill for the quad and a dislocated shoulder later, and you could say I learned my lesson lol.

Aired up my front tires to 40psi before I left for work.

Rear tire tread is really getting down there... the ass end kicked out about 8 times in my 7 mile commute. I was driving down a lane lined by orange cones on both sides, doing about 15 when I tried to accelerate, turns out I can drift diagonally without hitting any cones :D

My students have payday activities on Friday, where they have to wear their dress uniform and have an inspection and normally they get released early. I gave them the choice whether to be in class all day or participate in payday activities and get off early and they all chose to stay in class all day......... :roflsquared:
