Nice job Eric, points for a win!

 

let me know how you like them, i''m thinking of buying a set. pics w/them on?

 

SICK hooks and bolts. Did you have them chromed or did you buy them that way? Are the LED's replacements for existing fogs or add-ons?

 

Last night I noticed my light switch (lights/dimmer) don't light up. Is there a bulb in there I can get to and replace or are they not lit? I can't imagine a headlight switch without backlighting, but hey, who knows?

 

whats with all the pipe insulation? looks like it could trap water and cause rust

 

I looked at my truck with googly eyes today.

 

Picked pebbles from my tread. Yeah, I had some free time.

 

What's your technique? I prefer needle nosed pliers .

 

I don't think High would allow that to happen. That undercarriage looks waxed! I also hate it when my axle and center link & tie rods get bug splatters.

jest kiddin'

 

Robert, I had the tow hooks chromed and I used chrome bolt caps from a big rig chrome shop on the 4 bolts. The fog/driving lights are LED's. Found them on ebay. Came with light/brackets wiring harness and switch. The pipe insulation I learned that from a friend, Helps keep the axle and tie rods clean and less chips for when I do shows. I don't keep them on all the time.

 

Wired up the lights yesterday afternoon. Their pretty bright.

 

I was so happy to have my X back I was up at 600 yesterday morning.

I made adjustments to the steering. And thank you to the person (I dont remember the user tag) who had the instructions. I grabbed an allen wrench, flashlight, sharpie and a 5 gal bucket (to stand on) and got to work. It went great and I got the adjustment I wanted on the first try.

Then I decided to put the spare tire cover back on. I climbed into the back of my truck, where I struggled to lift the tire and zip the thing closed. Well that didnt work. So I started to take the spare tire off the hook bolty thing. Well it let loose before I was ready so now I have a tire that has fallen on me and I am trying to keep it from falling out the back of the truck cause I do not want to pick it up and put it back in. So now I proceed to wrestle this tire and its little coat back on, several swear words were said and ouch was said several times. I can only imagine what the neighbors were thinking while I was doing this, LOL.

It is now zipped back in its clothes, and back where it belongs and I learned a lesson. Tires may be filled with air, but tires are heavy. LMAO

 

I hit 200'000 miles on the 2000 X yesterday!
