yea thats why i got the 8k. i wanted a little blue but not overly bright to the other drivers. the ones i got are dot compliant and the good ones, not the el cheapo 40 dolla ebay kit. almost bought some hella 500's today from wally world to mount on the front bumper. might go back tomorrow and get em. i need to get my exhaust done as my tailpipe is rotting off and im starting to get exhaust in the rig with the winders cracked. getting a tailpipe from oriellys for 25 bux, and a cherry bomb extreme muffler or summit $29 chambered muffler(prolly quieter), and a nice 3" rolled edge tip. ditching the resonator too. hopefully it wont be overly loud and crappy sounding with no cat

Well i picked up my diamond plate for the shifter "bezel" to cover where i cut the carpet that the boots wont cover up. Also got my tailpipe and chrome tip. just waiting for this weekend to come before i can get a muffler put on it. Also going to get the d35 this weekend

Well I got my shifter boot in and installed. Looks a lot cleaner. Also found some dark blue carpet at lowes I'm gonna get and put in. In the process of rebuilding a 2150 carb in hopes of some more mpgs. Also got the new exhaust put on with a glasspack and it sounds like shit. So I'm gettn a magnaflow this weekend. Haven't been able to take any pics been pretty busy. I did get a chance to wire up my reverse lights. Will try to get some good pics up soon. Discovered an oil pan leak so I'm gonna do the full gasket set and oil pump soon

Well I ended up having to buy a loka thottle cable as mine boke. Hees some pics of it cut to fit. The c clamp style end comes off when u emove the cable, and u can use the stock plastic pedal piece. Its so much more smooth then the stock junk. Cost me 45 bux and about 5 min to cut down and install. Had to use washes on the firewall fitting fo it to wok right. Also got a summit fully welded muffle and ditched the glasspack. It sounds awesome. Here's the new throttle cable

I can't get the pics to post on my phone. Maybe someone can fix this for me

Ok ill let yall in on it...if paul still has it then

D35, 8.8, full gasket set, 4.56s, lockers, dash pas cover, roofrack, maybe duff tire carrier, contemplating racing buckets. O yea some 33" grabbers on some pro comp wheels. Yea I already started ordering parts. Gonna have a few extras I didn't mention, and the jeep coils will be going in, and the 2.8 will be gettng a head job with 2.9 valves and a cam

My gf got a honda so now I can really tear this thing apart and get this thing going
