i normally i dont trust oil like that. mostly because every floor guy i ask who the supplier was say "idk, does it matter?" then i leave...

I wouldn't trust that store.. Not the oil haha. I use synthetic and change every 5,000. I don't think I give time for any oil to go bad haha

My soldering station for the day.. don't mind the clutter haha

caseycamby · Jan 24, 2015

So I got everything all soldered up, nice and pretty annndddddddddd

they don't fit :0mg:

Any suggestions on making these work? Orrrrr am I just screwed?

Intender · Jan 24, 2015

Is it too close and too high? If so you only option is probably to cut off that mount and have make a new on and tack weld it on.

Prime · Jan 24, 2015

Oh noes!

Yeah. Your only recourse is to remove the bracket and replace it. Unless they'll line up by mounting it upside down and drilling by the top and bolting through the top plate of the bumper.

Tay-Lo · Jan 24, 2015

Or for the to close just get a little piece of metal ....drill a hole on each end...mount it....basically make an extention for the mount

Muadeeb · Jan 24, 2015

Looks to me like there's a ridge that needs to be filed down. Light not able to be fully vertical?

I think if I mounted it upside down.. the bolt would come through the top side of the bumper in front of the grill. So I would have two random bolts sticking up on the top of my bumper haha. Which I wouldn't be too terribly opposed to if it would work...

Could you explain that a little more haha

Yeah it won't fully stand up before it hits the top plate on the bumper

Yeah it just hits on the top side. Its not too close to the little grill in the light hole.

Tay-Lo · Jan 24, 2015

Well looks like from what you just said its too tall so my idea wouldnt help

Muadeeb · Jan 24, 2015

Oooh.... Reverse the mount so you place the nut in the bracket. Now slide the light in so you don't have to tilt it. The screw the bolt up into the mount.

caseycamby · Jan 24, 2015

I don't believe there will be enough room for the bolt to go all the way through.. unless I was to cut it. Even still, I'm not too sure the light will stand up there even without having to tilt it. Let me go check.

caseycamby · Jan 24, 2015

So close! I think I can make this work..

Tay-Lo · Jan 24, 2015

If you have a welder cut the bracket and weld it slightly lower

caseycamby · Jan 24, 2015

I'm gonna try to do what I have in mind first but if that doesn't work.. it may come to that haha

Thanks for all your help guys! It's really appreciated!

Prime · Jan 24, 2015

Can you grind the bracket down so it fits in the middle between the light mount and the light?

Tay-Lo · Jan 24, 2015

Turn it sideways and mount it to the support? Thats where I mounted the control box for my winch

I still don't think there will be enough room in there... it's tight

/twss

That's a possibility... I'll have to look at that.

Tay-Lo · Jan 26, 2015

Update? Pics of the lights on atleast?

caseycamby · Jan 26, 2015

No updates as of now.. I need to get a 3 inch cut off tool first... preferably electric. Surprisingly hard to find haha a trip to HF is in order!

Tay-Lo · Jan 26, 2015

But......pictures

caseycamby · Jan 26, 2015

I've nothing to show! I got it aligned today.. I guess that's good to know haha

GPD605X · Jan 30, 2015

What'd you do with your old lights? Didn't you have similar LED's for fogs?

caseycamby · Jan 30, 2015

I haven't done anything with them yet.. They're probaby gonna go somewhere on the roof... I'll just have to see where I like them the most haha. They're just the round 4 inch and white LED.

joshuas10 · Jan 30, 2015

I would try a button head cap screw and see if it will give you the clearance you need. It should has a much lower head than the hex head cap screw you have. Also is there a link for those tie rod ends? Thanks

I have an idea in my head... We'll see how it plays out haha. But on the tie rods, I believe I'm the first one (beside the guy that made them) to have them. They're from P&P. Your best bet will be to contact them directly. HERE is their website.

caseycamby · Jan 31, 2015

A deposit has been sent.... Can't say what for..

GPD605X · Jan 31, 2015

The only thing I can think of would be a new rack or steel corners... [emoji106]

Roadwarrior · Feb 1, 2015

Couldn't you just fold that mount down, then lean the light forward?

caseycamby · Feb 10, 2015

So I noticed a stud was missing from my warn hubs and one was half way out.. I was able to pick up some at work to replace it. In case anybody is wondering... Dorman Help part number 03411 is what you need to replace it without going to Warn. Hopefully that'll help somebody out one day!

Prime · Feb 10, 2015

Locktite!

lbishop · Feb 10, 2015

Have you painted those tre's?

Finally got some decent weather to paint mine. Did you do any taping or do you paint bolts and all?
Or just the main length of them

Sorry if it's a dumb question lol

caseycamby · Feb 11, 2015

Yeah you just have to paint the main part of them. The actual adjuster piece. The ends won't rust.

And yes! I carry some around with me now for that reason haha

lbishop · Feb 11, 2015

hey casey did sand yours or do any kind of prep work?

I just shot a coat of bed liner on mine and it just peeled off, I used rusto truck bed coating on them

caseycamby · Feb 11, 2015

I just lightly sanded mine and hit it with some paint. It's held up just fine.

Prime · Mar 13, 2015

Where's it going?

caseycamby · Mar 13, 2015

Secrets!

Prime · Mar 13, 2015

I don't like secrets. Unless I'm keeping them.
