no problem. it's just that I try to inform as many people as I can about HID's due to the fact every kid around me on their lifted trucks has HID's and they buy those cheap kits and end up blinding people. I've actually seen wrecks where the driver stated that they passed a person with HID's and couldn't see the road because the lights were aimed in their eyes, so they ended up in the ditch. It's a pet peeve i suppose.
this is another reason why the Truck Lite LED's are so expensive. The housings are made specifically for LED's.

Just drove it for the first time since swapping the shocks. Even with the rear drivers' side spring un-shocked at the moment, my gosh it rides better. The factory shocks had 150,000 miles on them, the poor bastards.

Most of the snow we get out here is dry so even driving through a blizzard isn't a problem with them. Back in April we got 3 feet of super heavy wet snow in 2 days. When I was driving in that coming down hard at night, I had to get out and wipe them off halfway home from work

Did the h4 headlight conversion which looks and works great.
I also put new wheel bearing/hub assemblys on the front and what a difference that made.

Cleaned the throttle body and idle air controller today because I've been experiencing unsteady engine rpms when idling/driving from 750-1250rpm.
Wow! The difference in low speed/idle smoothness is night and day!

Made some coil buckets for my Jeep.
Since I made my front spring perches i was thinking the top plate being flat might be a problem, so these will fix that.
Edit: The hole in the center is going to be filled by tube that's welded to the flat plate, then ill have a plate of 1/4" holding everything down.
