    Are 7 inch LED headlights good?

    These aren't bad but still produce glare where I circled. The wiring takes a whole 5 minutes to hook up since its plug and play. Even doing the HD headlight harness is a significant upgrade. They may look bug eyed but its the safest/brightest way and has the best output. Its Its slowly becoming...

    Horseshoe shifter

    I think I will attempt it and make a nice console since there is already a big hole in the floor and Im going cable shifter anyways.

    Are 7 inch LED headlights good?

    Notice by what I mean in the picture. The cutoff absolutely prevents glare. I seriously doubt your headlights will look like this. Your headlights may be DOT compliant but that doesn't mean they don't cause glare. Secondly, HIDs are still far superior when it comes to light output. The Philips...

    Are 7 inch LED headlights good?

    Don't be that guy to put led or hid in a stock halogen housing. They make look bright to you but you are blinding everyone with glare no matter how you think you aimed them. Projector housings prevent glare by using a cutoff. If you want the best lighting then buy led/hid projector headlights or...

    Vortec 454 7.4l vs Vortec 496 8.1l

    I've narrowed down my choices for my next build. I am trying to decide what would be the better of the two. The 7.4l out of 96-00 GMT 400 platform puts out 290 hp at 4000 rpm and 410 ft-lbs at 3200 rpm. The 8.1l out of 2001-2007 GMT800 trucks/suburbans/vans puts out 325 hp at 4200 rpm and 447...

    Dual Tanks Vs Single 40 Gallon Tank For 8.1l Swap

    Yeah id most likely install a backup pump so I could limp it somewhere.

    Dual Tanks Vs Single 40 Gallon Tank For 8.1l Swap

    Yeah its cheaper, less components to go out, one tank to fill, adds traction to the rear wheels which will help me in the winter. I think the only cons is/are possibly hitting the rear differential and when the one pump goes you're screwed but I'll probably setup a backup pump just in case.

    Dual Tanks Vs Single 40 Gallon Tank For 8.1l Swap

    Well I assume the extra 4" of lift helps at least.

    Dual Tanks Vs Single 40 Gallon Tank For 8.1l Swap

    Not sure if it helps but I have 1 ton (2" taller frame height) with 4" lift. I don't plan on offroading it.

    Dual Tanks Vs Single 40 Gallon Tank For 8.1l Swap

    What would be the best route to go? I have a 1980 K30 with dual tanks but one is rusty inside. Neither have electric pumps. Would it be easier and cheaper to just get a 40 gallon suburban tank? What components do I need for the fuel system for the 03 8.1l?

    Dual electric fans install?

    2010+ F150 fans flow 6000 cfm. Can get an aftermarket harness or buy the original off rockauto I believe. Derale makes really good fan stuff.

    Radiator with twin fans

    If it were me Id get a new 4 core radiator, thermostat around 195 degrees, and a new clutch fan. Seal the shroud real well. If you want electric fans Id recommend 2010+ F150 fans. They supposedly flow 6000 cfm. They installed them on the Raptors as well. Otherwise Derale makes great fans.

    RETRO-Mod: Jeep intermediate steering shaft

    This is my way of the doing the XJ shaft on the 73-80 trucks. No welding required. Just need a torch, bench vise, ratchet and hammer

    Tire Suggestions

    The new falken wildpeak at/3 are awesome. You can get 6 ply I believe. They ride the best and have the deepest tread.

    Steering correction for 4in lift

    If you have the money I'd say get rid of the draglink setup and get crossover steering. Its one of the best upgrades I did on my truck along with the XJ steering shaft.
