Made a wing window prop because it's to loose to stay open at about 20 mph and above. Works great! Better than putting a new one in. Lol

OD or not, I still cruise with everyone else in the fast lane. Sure, the fuel cost is more than other options, but you don't have to go slow.

I thought the fuel cost chart was very interesting too. I'm still gonna b!tch about the cost of fuel though, lol.
Hahaha right?
Ya, I mean I could roll either square at 80mph down the road with ease. But much past 70 they’re both yelling at you! Lol.
Maybe quieter mufflers would help… and OD.

Well hell. It's going full retard into the warmest day so far around here, so why not go out into the maelstrom and see why half the circuits have no fire in the wire. I know that there's power through the fuselinks, so....

On Road Worthy Rescues, Derick put on yellow headlights on a clapped out rescue and they looked awesome.
And it got me a wonder'in, what would my pickup look like with yellow headlights.
Today I was messin with the photo editor and it has a highlighter pen option.
See where I'm goin' with this?

How freaking kewl!
Headlights ordered...
I plan to put yellow lenses in my fog lights. I love the yellow fog light look, have it on 2 of my other vehicles.

Of course. I'm going to give it some baking soda paste then a brass brush treatment to clean as best as possible. Rinse and blow out with compressor. Cross digits and hope it's better than mechanic in a can.

Not wanting to wrassle pulling connectors for replacement, but it may come to that. Probably collateral damage from the seam leak at the top of the A pillar. Some day I'll show that circus mess. Probably should pull the fuse box out and inspect that too. Stay tuned...

I want to do this to mine as well. Watching
just gonna have my welder put a plate around the bottom like on the top of the bumper. It will be the same level as the ball. Nothing fancy at this time.

An idea struck me today. It'd be cool to have that portion I cut out.....push inwards with hinges so it would look like a normal square bumper, you just push the corner in to expose the step. Spring loaded.

You could cut out the "center" of that area so the bumper would still have the bottom and backside (verticle part). But you'd be on ur toes as big boots won't fit in the hole.
