VERY nice. Glad to have you back. Alot of people have been off here for quite a while this summer. It seems ever since the first cutting of hay nobody has been back since. Summer keeps us all busy. Most of the regulars are here but not very often at all. Tim has taken on a full shop time job and is covered up. I see c00n every now and then. Jim once in a while also but it is not at all what it used to be here. Heck I have had to hang in the '99-'03 7.3 forum just to stay busy. They are quite "chatty" up there. No shortage of conversation and comraderie.

Your truck looks awesome thanks for the pics.

 

Hey there Neal! Thanks for the warm welcome back! yea summer does do that to people... Heck my computer is only on once or twice during the summer months. Thanks for the compliments on the truck! She's still not perfect, but getting there one day at a time.

Next summers project will be engine mods.... I don't want to go crazy, so I'm thinking a set of baby swamps, a 17º HPOP and maybe a 1.00AR housing...

I just checked out your post hp and torque numbers... Over 400!! I'm impressed!

Truck looks great! I'm still working on getting mine re-painted by the end of summer. Love your exhaust. Did you have it made for you or did you find a dual 4" kit somewhere?

 

Thanks! I had the exhaust custom made because I had trouble finding a dual 4" system for OBS trucks. Cost about 425 total

glad to see you back truck looks good as can be

 

Your headlights look great. I have the 3m kit but I have not taken the time to try it. Awesome truck.

 

FYI: It's simple and works pretty darn good (As Rob's example proves)..

Almost worth the $! (Cheaper than new lens housings!)

 

That's a great price!
Good to see you back Robb, been wondering where you were hidin'.

 

lookin good robb. 425 aint bad considering how much the SD kit is

 

Mine wasn't much more than that, but no tips and it didn't fit for *****

 

Thanks! and as mcdavidson said, the kit is pretty easy to use, just be sure to tape off all the trip around the light and you should be golden. also take your time, it took me 4 hours total i think, but mine were pretty yellowed...

Glad to be back!

Yea it wasn't bad at all. It's almost impossible to find a dual kit for an OBS.... especially one that looks good. I didn't want the tips hanging way down, these are up pretty high as you can see

Where did you get those fog lights that are mounted in your bumper? I am in dire need

 

Believe it or not... walmart in the automotive department. only were about $20 and worked perfectly.

Robb

 

how did you mount those things in there?
