It can be just as much fun to make someone's day as it is to have someone make yours

Kids love diesel trucks. I guess thats why we're all still here.

Projector fog lights are in as of last night. WOW are they good! Razor sharp line and great brightness. I’ll snap pix tonight in the dark, but here’s in the daylight today before I hit the Pine Barrens to ride Super excited for the main projector lamps to come.

Oh, and Minh Worx steering box showed up today

 

[darkness]

Are those a kit or did you get a whole housing? Same with the headlights?

 

[N2BRK]

The headlights are being built with projectors; 818retrofits. The fogs are what 818 recommended: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3045958193...ucKbANlRHa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Personally I hate it when headlights have a sharp cutoff. I prefer it to fade out. If it's too sharp it creates a tunnel vision or an inability to see past the cutoff. Too much contrast between lit and dark areas. That's why I've never invested in projectors after my first set that didn't last very long before going back to stock

@2004LB7 I will agree with this however my Mini H1 retrofit I don't seem to have that issue. There is a great cutoff but when I am just cruising down the highway I don't seem to notice it and the throw is great.

 

[N2BRK]

The cutoff for the fogs is perfect. They stay low and aren't scattered nor kicking up into oncoming eyes. I don't have the 818 headlamps yet, but I think/hope they will be a welcomed upgrade.

I didn't get the pics last night, lol. No worries, darkness will come again tonight (not you Rob!).

Fogs I can totally understand. You need to keep the light below the fog layer and any above only scatters the light making it harder to see

I don’t mind the cutoff until it’s a problem. That problem being street signs that are all above the cutoff lol. I appreciate them on 2 lane highways at night.

My XB led fogs had a cut off like your describing, I loved those fogs.

 

[N2BRK]

I apologize for the whatever Vimeo did. It’s a half white page and half video. Odd.

Anyway, it doesn’t look blue except for a few feet in front of the truck where it hits the ground. The back to back between fogs on and off is amazing. I dipped down to show they don’t bother oncoming drivers.

Got the lift pump gauge in the ac duct finished today. It’s not in line of sight, which for this purpose is perfect. It’s one of this gauges that you only worry about when the needle swings to either extreme, lol. Bottom left in the pic. Cheap glowshift gauge.

I have a different valance…
These diode dynamics suck, and one doesn’t work. I had Rigid dually spots on my ‘04 and they were awesome. Wired separate from the lights. I’ll probably do the same on the ‘02

That looks good. Not too hard of a cutoff

what happened to it, They have like an 8 year warranty on them. I added some to the rear of my 1500 truck.
I was looking to do the same on the 2500 and also do a dual set up in the front.

I don’t know how old they are, Sean (Oregondmax)installed them. But even when they both worked, they barely cast any light.

Bed is sold. I have no words for what just happened, but it’s loaded and paid for and gone!

 

[TheBac]

All the guy had to do was turn the bed over and match the rails. Use a couple 2x2's in the stake pockets and two straps between the hold downs of the two beds to hold it on. I got the q-steer bed back from mizzou that way.
