1990 Go Fast Gorilla

I can see that being theft resistant. I can imagine you would loose some light output though.

"lose" some output I mean.

In the spaces behind the grill perhaps?

[vanilla gorilla]

I think it would be pretty cool to put one in the grille. What I did yesterday was between the rain showers. but it's not permanent.

I like How Chris and Glen did this. I have a 92-96 front body style.
I might do something like this one day in addition to my HID's

[vanilla gorilla]

That's pretty bitchin.

[Rmc]

I agree! I just may have to bite the style of the pros on my bronco if I ever get some of those.

I can say hands down that Chris and Glen are Top notch Fabricators and they think outside the box. I was thinking two 20" bars in the leading edge of a 92 Bronco hood would be killer in addition to the HID lights I already have. I have to get mine back in the desert before LED's are on the list.

I bet we see a lot of copycat setups in the future. That is damn cool and a great use of dead space.

The only issue I can see is maybe damaging the lights while working on the truck in the desert. They are probably more durable than I think.

So got some Putco LED bulbs for the taillights and the dome light. I hope they perform well. plan to put them in tonight. before and after pics will come later tonight.

[vanilla gorilla]

So the tail light bulbs were a total failure. I put them in and they didn't light up at all. not on breaks, running lights, turn signal, nothing! They did work on the wife's Yukon however so I guess she'll get them. The dome light bulb worked great, but I never realized that my real issue was how brown my dome light lens is! I took it off to change the bulb and was surprised how bright the old bulb actually was. Once I get a new lens it will be awesome!

[Silverslk]

Did you try flipping them 180° ? LED's are directional and power only flows in one direction. I'm sure you know this but have to ask...

[vanilla gorilla]

Yeah I did. Still didn't work. I'll have to try to mess with them when I get home. There is still the possibility that it was operator error.

Any pic to see this ?

[vanilla gorilla]

I'll get some on asap, but it's been raining all day and the couch seemed way more appealing that the driveway today.

[vanilla gorilla]

So I got the new dome light lens and it made a big difference in the light output of the new led bulb!
New lens on the left old on the right. The difference in clarity is significant.

So almost ever since I've had my Bronco the thing has been hard to start when it's hot. I've tried everything I can think of, new battery, new starter, new solenoid, check the timing, make sure the connections are good, eliminate the cat. Still, if I stop for gas on the way home or to run into a store for a minute, it acts like it has a dead battery and cranks slow. So todays project is to install a new Power Master XS Torque 200lbft starter. Hopefully this will do the trick! I'll get some pics once it is installed!

[vanilla gorilla]

So got the starter installed and it did the trick. It cranked over well after an hour driving making several short stops.

[cypher]

Wow you went big! Thats one hell of a nice starter! Glad it solved your problem

[vanilla gorilla]

Yeah. I didn't want to take the chance of it not fixing the problem. Go big TO go home in this case. lol.
