Hopefull if i can find a cheap mounty, i can pull the AWD out of it and try to swap it in... if the funds and time allows. I'm going to try to get a job at a fab shop this summer, so if their cool with it, maybe i could use their shop instead of my driveway haha. The lights were supposed to be done last week, but me and my dad bolth just kinda went "eehhh... they're not going anywhere, lets do it next weekend..." so, im hoping to do them next weekend. it's unfortunate, but my dad has sundays and tuesdays off, and i still have school for 3 more days, so we want to get it done in 1 day but aren't sure we'll be able to; and since i still need to drive to school for the last few days... For the wiring we are planning to run the wires all either on the drivers side, or have the left 2 ones go down the passenger side, and the right 2 ones go down the driver side, into the roof rack, and down the A-pillar, into the dash where the switches will be mounted, or into the overhead console. then its just wiring it up into the battery, and hope it all works. haha, sorry for the long rant, just not much else to do at 1:20 since i cancled my World of Warcraft account, and my credit card is on security lockdown from typing in my security key wrong, so i cant buy the new game i wanted to play.

Edit: i will take pictures and try doing a write-up if you would like.

*Kazer* · 05-30-2011, 04:36 PM

couldnt get too muddy. the trucks leaking coolant like a siv, from two different locations!

*lynchy wa* · 05-30-2011, 04:42 PM

Real nice, I forget sometimes how good the Fx4 sticker look's, bugger 'bout your coolant issue.

*Ronin8002* · 05-30-2011, 04:44 PM

Where is it leaking from Kazer?

*Kazer* · 05-30-2011, 04:50 PM

location 1 = heater bypass valve. i had it replaced last week and the darn thing still spits coolant.

location 2 = appears to be at the back of the engine bay more towards the drivers side. just noticed it today, when i got home the truck sat for about a minute and then spewed out a nice puddle of coolant, enough to run down a 4 car long driveway

*Kazer* · 05-30-2011, 08:26 PM

so im thinkin that i just jumped to a conclusion too quick, im positive that the second leak was just from running the a/c on full blast for an hour straight? i smelled the coolant from the heater bypass valve...

LOL true that. Maybe ready for the highway to Moab, UT

jk.

*NHarris* · 05-31-2011, 08:59 PM

The story behind the decal is my neighbors down the street started the company. They sell "proven" trail gear, hold outings to moab. I have it on my Ex to help them out by getting the word out about the company.

And I'm pretty sure I about maxed that out there. I know when I looked at that back tire the bottom was barely on the ground. But that flex is not bad for a starting point.

I say u gotta work with what u have.. Looks good to me..
I like the duals u have going on there..
