A Simple Build

[starkey480]

Ah you’ll get used to the heat again. I do stuff in the middle of the day all the time. It’s way better than working on the rig in the cold. I just keep dissolvable electrolyte tabs on hand and drink electrolyte water instead of beer haha. Seriously the electrolytes help so much with how much you sweat in the garage

No drinking beer while working on it?!? I wouldn’t be able to get anything done.

The last time I brought a 6 pack down I got 2 beers in and was toast It’s actually ridiculous though how how much you sweat here. Last garage session I had I weighed myself before and after and I came back in 7 pounds lighter.

Dropped the Savvy bumper off at the powder coating shop. They are booked 6 weeks out, but he said for $150 he will have it done for me by Friday or earlier

I love these guys!

It's amazing how much you can do when it's warm out. 125* outside wearing 40;bs of gear and we still got a lot done.
You'll be fine.

90 down here in the peninsula. Too damn hot, I went hiking at 7 am to avoid it.

Hahaha this is great! Not but a few days ago I told you it wasn't going to be a simple build!!!

Maybe by the time yours is done, my stroker build will be done and Ill be shipping it out west for some trail riding

Thanks to @Ol’ Blue for a great deal on a Savvy 1.25" body lift. What a coincidence it was right down the road from me too!

Haha! Yes, from speaking to Blaine, it looks like mine should be able to be done for the Moab trip next year, which is good news!

Your welcome ! Was trying to figure out if I was going to save the parts or sell them and you made it easy.

I googled mod collector and @Chris picture popped up.

 

[Wildman]

Okay I LOOKED & LOOKED but what bulbs did you finally decide on for the headlights? Figured I'd get this stuff coming.

 

[tomtaylz]

Also we are 30 pages in and there has been like maybe 5 pictures of this Jeep

Is that what you are using? I was thinking about maybe a LED bulb instead? Something like this? I put them in my nieces Escape and they put out a lot of light.

Also mine if a 90% trail rig so I am not too worried about them being street legal.

Yes, this is what I am going to use. I haven't installed them yet.

I wouldn't use an LED bulb in a halogen housing, the light output isn't going to be right. I'd use an LED in a projector housing or a housing specifically designed for an LED. These Cibies are designed for halogen bulbs though.

 

[Wildman]

I'm getting the same housings you are. I'm just trying to find a good bulb for them. And then I'm going to get the upgrade harness also.

A bulb maybe like this?
