So just how many people would be ininterested in a rear diff skid? And if you are interested are you still running with your rear sway bar on?

If the skid costs the same or cheaper than a diff cover then I would be. We have a rear sway bar? Hahaha :twisted:

I'm with NAMoulton1, I'd be interested if the price was cheaper than a rear skid.
My sway bar was done away with long ago.

You just pick the wrong people to flash lol. They're technically illegal here, but as long as you turn them off with other cars around it's treated like using your high beams. I actually aimed the spot lights on my brush guard to hit mirrors of cars lol

the car (officer) high beamed me first. it wasn't like I was being an stupid. but then he did, so I unleashed 400 watts of glory! bad idea.... and on my citation he made the comment about using low beams within 500 ft of a vehicle. its illegal to use auxiliary lighting in pa. besides the auxiliary lighting that is below 42 inches. mine are nowhere near street legal. when I used them on road, I treated them like high beams.

ill have them covered up for the whole month of march just after the paranoia is over with me and the cops looking for my lights being used. haha :dizzy:

I did not like driving home from class last night. those lights make it look like daytime.

Genius. Im installing soon 2 pod led lights on both of my cb antenna mounts just for those drivers that always think I have my high beams on. my low beams are always on now since I lifted it. I have no intent to adjust the lights. from here on out instead of blinding people, ill just stick with flashing only if their being a real jerk and leaving them on. <- yeah, I know.....

I get flashed a lot because I never reaimed my lights after my lift. I flash them back and they stop.

I have to rewire my spots, something went wrong. I think a fuse fried from a bad connection. It's too cold to find out now though

I ghetto rigged my roof lights wireing. the fuse is just a regular round cylindrical fuse and I just soldered the wire to that. cheaper then buying a $2 holder from radio shack... haha probably safer too, being soldered. surprised my fuse hasn't blown yet! its pretty darn close to blowing.

The bad news is about this mod is that I don't plan on sharing exactly how I did it due to the liability that is envolved with this one.


OK, so where did you move it to?
Thanks.

I actually have been thinking of making a kit for this now if there is a market for them. Of coarse with a disclaimer of install at own risk

So I'm getting new headlights but I'm debating on HID's or CREE LED's both kits come with everything needed

6000k HID's = $30 (just low beam)
= $50 (Hi/Low beam)
35w = 3200-3400 Lumens
50w = 5000 Lumens (+$10)

25w CREE LED's = $150
3200 -3400 Lumens


What do you guys think?
