Drove it in the rain to see how the Adam's detailing products performed. Nice results. You can read about it here if you are interested.

I know, pics pics pics. I keep trying to upload one here but just getting "FATAL ERRORS" (read in voice of James Earl Jones).

I may have hit my Gigabyte upload limit for the day. To many high-res photos already posted.

Which on Simpson model is that? Can't find it on their site by looks alone...

bussy, it is the voyager evolution in black with a different shield instead of clear. I was going to get the xbandit. ..but this one has a large field of view. .. which concerned me while driving.

If it's anything like the rest of her truck, it's a one off custom! ;-)

(Yesterday) I installed my new (FoMoCo) power steering pump and high pressure line. I have to say that I was a little more than un-impressed. I went through Alldata to confirm torque specs for the bolts, etc and with the tq specs being 18 ft lbs for the mounting bolts, I figured it would be quite easy to do. My first fight was how tight it is in there, getting the right extensions and angles to get on the bolts flush and level was a chore to say the least. But, the major thing I was un-impressed with was the bolts torque. The first two bolts I hit with a socket were already loose, I mean as soon as the socket hit the bolts, they moved without any effort at all. One looked like it was already beginning to back out of the hole. Not good. The third bolt, the one directly behind the pulley was so tight that I broke one 6 point socket, had to go buy another (I also bought a set of IRWIN bolt grip sockets just in case. I fought trying to get that bolt off for about an hour and a half before that socket broke. BUT, I suppose getting away from it for the drive to the auto parts store helped a good bit because when I got back, I put the new six point on it and I guess I got the right angle and everything just right because with "holding my tongue right" and some serious elbow grease, the bolt popped loose and came out (of course when it popped loose, of course I left some blood in there...lol) installation of the new pump and line was quick and fairly easy. Now to wait for the RPG reservoir and other aftermarket parts to put the finishing touches on the upgrade. At least I can drive her now though.

I hear blood adds at LEAST 27 horsepower.

^^those V3 LEDs aren't cheap but a great mod ($110+). I'd like to see output pics. Most LEDs r bright to the camera, can u get a screen shot on your dash at night while in reverse?

Was shredding the snow when...

Went out to shred some deep snow and hit a high bank with a bit too much, well, enthusiasm. :rockit:

Now when in 4x4 it clicks up front left but 4x2 is fine and 4x4 engages fine as well. Getting out with shovels and 4x2 locker was a bitch though...

I believe it is CV but anyone else think could be IWE/HUB?
Prices on each to compare?

I would check the vacuum line is still on the IWE correctly, but if you saying it does not click in 4x2 that probably is not the issue.
