Hmm, the bulb looks different than mine. Is Tony using a different projector/bulb these days or is there just no projector? I love the look of these lights.Rmc wrote:Hid's all the way across thx to tony, and I swapped out the yellowing factory lenses for these.

Re: RMC's el hefe build.
No these are just off the shelf crystal headlights, tony is putting a true euro style projector in these housings. The pattern would be like a BMW or one of the true projection style headlights. I just saw these n thought they would look way better than stock. They seem to work ok but I have only had them on for adjustment. I have yet to drive any distance with them. when I get a little extra cash I will buy Tony's but regearing the axels takes precedence currently. I absolutely have to do the gears after I put the 37's on it. My gas mileage is pretty bad.

Broken/deteriorated thermostat housing bolt. That one took me a while. And I remove broken aircraft fasteners (among other things) for a living. LOL.hobbyturnedobsession wrote:At least you didnt have to fix a broken stud! I swear thats the worst.

Re: RMC's el hefe build.
So 20 hrs later, I fixed every leak on the engine. An oil change, new oil pressure switch n new coolant. I also found a big ass hole the sheet metal cut into my k&n filter
ordered a replacement tonight. Everything is back up n running now so my sore back was worth it. Also weekend before last we went shooting to test my brother in laws new mossberg 935, (nice shotgun btw) I took some cool pics, found an old gold mine and captured a horney toad for the kids. Apparently none of them had ever seen one in real life. I kinda felt like a kid agian trying to catch the fat little guy. It was a good day and thought u guys would like to see the photos.

Re: RMC's el hefe build.
Ok just measured, 78" track. It's gotta be the glass that makes it look different.
