20th during the day or the 21st sounds good to me. I believe I work the night for the 20th. 21st would probably be better for me. I'll see if I can afford to get my adrenaline or injectors possibly both in time for this, if not its fuel system and GP's and maybe a few other odds and ends

20th during the day would work. I start class on the 21st. Think you can swing the 20th? I hope you get your parts by that day too.

Hey everybody.
Thanks to RiffRaff, Cj45lc (for the pillar mount), Bryant (KonaGrown), & Palmer (2000ca250), I got my pyro and trans temp gauges installed (autometer cobalts). We also dropped Palmer's tank for his in-tank mods, replaced his glow plugs, painted his valve covers, and started on a regulated return. Reps to you guys! (if it'll let me)
Here are some daytime pics. I will take some night time pics tonight and post them very soon (they look good with my other lighting):

Wish I could say that told the cop that pulled us over "sorry officer I had to pull out rapidly into traffic in order to test these new gauges I just installed". Unfortunately this was not the case, and wouldnt have been a good excuse because the trans temp gauge didnt move at all

No prob buddy. haha ya i know it took me for ever cj. Thanks again. And ya, that cop wanted me to put on mud flaps and said that they were required in WA. PSHHH. Everybody and their mom was driving by when I was pulled over and they had no mud flaps. No ticket though. Thank god. I have the night pics and I want to post them. Gotta make breakfast and get my butt out the door though. Going to get tranny fluid then head over to help Konagrown pull his turbo. Maybe I'll have time before I go. If not, I'll post them later today.

Check it out!
(They are very bright at night and I am able to dim them but only at the expense of my dash lights dimming too. My gf lost my potentiometer when I had her babysit my truck parts while I was working for the summer. Ugh! The blue on the gauges matches perfect with the underglow I have in the cab when I turn them down to a comfortable brightness. Konagrown says he has a potentiometer though, so maybe I can schmooze him into hooking me up as a trade for help with injectors and a case of beer)

Bryce, I found the potentimeter, It even has a **** with it. I'll let you know when I get my injectors in, should be Thursday, so Saturday I'll probably be installing them.
You need to switch out your dash lights to the blue LEDs now. That would look cherreh!

Sounds good bro. Hit me up. And yes I do need to do the dash lights! But I am just scared that I will end up with all but one LED working and have it be all spotted. I'd almost rather pay somebody to do it.
We'll see, I did do my window and lock lights but since my switches are mechanical ones unlike the post E99's, they were finniky and the unlock side of the switch just does not light up. It has something to do with the way the circuitry on the switch is set up.
