Apparently when i installed my HID kit the other day I didn't do a good job sealing things up on one side. 2+ inches of rain and one foggy headlight yesterday.

I pulled it off after work today and let a blow dryer blow thru it for 10 minutes. Smeared a bunch of black permatex on my dust cap and checked all the vent tubes. Should be good from here (I hope...lol). [emoji106]

I think I'm going to detail my paint this weekend....looks great man. That blue is so purdy.

You know, I’m so glad I’m not the only one that like a clean truck. My dad makes fun of me, neighbours and friends. They always say “it’s a truck!” Since when did it become ok to be careless about a 30-60,000 dollar truck!? Lol.


When I belonged to a Jeep club you were a weirdo of you waxed or cleaned your Jeep.

I could be driving a **** and still polish it. Wait..... isn’t there a saying about that? Lol


Mods: EGR matte black bug deflector, Westin HDX drop steps, rough county bull bar with 20” LED, custom made NW seat covers in real tree camo, husky liner mats, husky liner mud guards, undercover LUX tonneau cover, Tailgate assist, flowmaster super 40 with resonators, tinted 15% front, LED C shaped tail lights. Line-X 5.7’ box

Same lol my first car was a geo metro that i dug out of a ditch for $50. The rust was insane but it was mine so i cared for it. My Mom always joked i was going to wax the paint off of it and well she wasn’t wrong there wasn’t much holding the paint on, but what was there was always shiny

As for “its a truck” i dont mind some swirls in the paint or a few small dings (when i had cars i freaked out on these things), ***** going to happen off-road but ill be damned if i don’t make her look her best

I added the Ram OEM bed clearance lights and used LED bulbs. I know a lot of members use the long led strips etc but I just wanted something simple that worked with parking lights only.

Is there a place to plug that harness into or did you have to cut the plug off and hard wire it in?

Which shroud did you end up going with? I have been doing some serious research on a mini h1 retrofit for my quads and am debating which shroud to use. Also, is it a pain to get them opened up?

It's a bit annoying to open up but if you take your time with the heathen, its not so bad. Do order the extra poly sealant. I used the standard shroud (gatling I believe). It fits real well. Very happy with it overall.

I’ve been working with my brother and his 3D printer to put together some leveling links for my 2014 with air suspension. He printed up 2 different sets for the front with different lengths and I finally got them today!
This is the first and shortest set, leaves me a little nose high:339810e7e84873f0ac7a7d021f33f130.jpg. This is the longer of the two and leaves me dead level345bec879665f061d9c3e68d0f671c60.jpg

I was only able to test fit them because he wasn’t able to print them in a way that they would actually lock on to the little ball socket. To fix that, I got some rubber washers and epoxied them onto the links:13c1d7c652c8f950475b18184b906013.jpg

The links themselves are printed from ABS plastic and extremely strong. I want to say the shorter set is 3/4 of and inch shorter than stock, and the longer is only 1/2in shorter but I can’t remember for sure. He was also able to match the factory bend in the link. So far I’m really happy, and if the rubber washer works, I’ll give them a good test this weekend and I’m sure he’ll be able to print more for anyone interested in a set.

Threw in some DDM 5000k hids in my stock projector housings on my 17 Sport. Will have to pull them out and do some adjusting since I can see the shadow of the wire on the bulb on the drivers side. Also finished up my fog light projector retrofit. Will get them in this weekend. And ordered a couple sets of dual resistors from TRS to get these error messages gone. Need to fab up a plate for each set to make mounting a little easier. Will post pics.

Why you trying to lift up the normal ride height? It looks like you have 1000lbs of a cargo load in both pics.
