Was thinking of putting in 6" led bars for headlights but these look cleaner.

These are the bars I was thinking about

Wanted to run 2 of them inside each headlight bezel. One for high beam one for low beam.

Output on the Falcons is mediocre. JW SPeaker or Morimoto is your best option for an LED swap. Bets output is still from a aftermarket projector retrofit with a 55w hid kit.

The LED bars will blind traffic really bad, be careful with those, you'll get popped on the street in a heart beat. I just did a set of Projectors for the Silver Bullet, output is silly!! Super bright

Not looking to spend more than $150-200 on lights. JWspeaker ones are like $400-500. Yikes. I know the nicer led companies give a lot more options where you can aim them better and cut the brightness down on a switch.

Go with a set of Autopals glass headlights, look for the ones with the euro code spec cut on them, and do a fifty five watt hId drop in. Should run you about 125-150.

If you wanna be the guinea pig for Morimoto Bi LED headlights, hit me up. I'll have access to a pair next week.

Deciding if I should go powdercoat or paint. Leaning towards paint now that I got a $300 quote for powdercoating and after hearing that it will still scratch and chip and cost more to repair the coating if I need too.

I paint all my stuff. Never had the budget for powder coat. The only thing I have powder coated are my hangers from giant. They are chipped up and will be painted next prep.

I would not recommend towing heavy loads with a bronco. Super sketchy. Had to go 40mph the whole way up from Oceanside.

Image

94 F150.
5.0L
5 speed manual
Manual xfer case
Power everything.
I was excited because the owner still had the remote locks key fob.

I guess in 94 Ford retuned the 5.0l for more power.

Make it look and run good and sell it. The last one I had just like it with the manual trans ran forever. I had 370k miles on it before I sold it and I'm sure it would have ran for another 300k.
