Man that show was crowded, even at 6am!
Tons of people selling stuff, some good deals to be had too.
Richie bought a very cool front bumper with integrated winch plate and stinger for $60, a seat for his son for $5, we got some PVC tubing for the filler mods for $2, I bought a brand new, still has the sticker on it KM2 in the exact size I need for $80, four more to go.
We were with a friend that bought a built up Ford 9 inch rear end, and an Atlas t-case (aluminum 3.8:1), and some ammo cans.
Too bad that show is only once a year.
So, when I got home I installed the new headlights.
They look like eyeballs. The back reflector is black like the BMW headlights.

Rik - You should snap some pics of those suckers on at night. I'm curious to see what they look like.

I'm happy with the results, just not the expense.
This is worse than a drug habit! (I am just assuming that  )
New headlight mod under way, pics to follow.
Working on the TJ filler mod on Richie's Jeep right now since we have his tank out. .
We'll do his first for practice! |
I also did my 1"mm and rear upper adj arms and still have some minor vides.
I need to find out a way to take those vides out....

Those are the cheap ones. They come in HID, but only low beam.
I ordered the kit for the HID in low and high beam to add to these.
These are just H4 bulbs. Average light output because of the black reflector.
The HID kit is $70 and these lights were $16 for the pair.

Chris, it was nice to have you stop over yesterday. 
We actually got some fab work done (a stubby style bumper) between chewing the fat & playing hop-scotch over electrical cords.
I picked up several weld-on style 19K# D-rings today which I plan on adding two of them to the bumper inline with the frame rails.

If using Jeffs drill press doesn't work out, I have a drill press and three different press vice's that you are welcome to use.
Do you have an index with the correct bit(s)?
