Don’t discount JBA for a UCA option. Save you some $$. I’ve found one shop that’s farther than I want to drive who actually understands how the SPC uppers actually work. If you aren’t planning on going with 34” or larger tire, OR you don’t have a savvy off road shop to align, OR you aren’t planning on taking advantage of setting the upper settings at anything other than middle/OEM, I’m not sure I’d bother with SPC.

Lessons learned, lessons shared… hindsight is 20/20. I need to update my UCA info elsewhere on the forum.

 

Uhhhhh, With a cut wheel and enough IDGAF it fits?

 

Took me a second to see the lower brow. Oof.

Still, great price on a V8/4WD if no rust on the frame.

 

Spare made it to the airport and back. Awaiting a replacement tire from the tire shop. Also still actively looking for a spare

 

This is one of those times when I wish we had the technology to teleport things. I'd totally blink you one of these Wildpeaks to use as a spare.

 

No such thing as a bad excuse for a road trip.

 

A couple months back when I got my new wheels, discount tire broke a stud on the rear. I replaced it without issue but now ever since when going slow the rear brakes squeak when coming to a stop. Any ideas?

 

Im on them 16s tho

 

grease the drum backing plate?

 

Lots of em on the market. I see em on jeeps and old trucks all day

 

Damn dude my replacement showed up within 24hrs

 

Those look like plastic covers. You sure they’re glass?

 

That I don't know. Just saying I've seen lots of sealed beam trucks and jeeps with LEDs in the last decade or so

 

I’d like to see how LEDs look behind a glass cover unless it diffracts the light so much it isn’t worth it. I think only some cars in the 80s had the option of non-sealed beam/replaceable bulb lights before the lens cover went 100% plastic.

 

I may as well be Craig. Except it's Sunday. i.e. wallet ain't in a good state for road trippin'

​

 

I've ran LEDs on old motorcycles that had glass housings and never had a problem with the light. Eventually I want to swap the whole housing out with that style that was posted, glass is heavy.

 

Cause it’s the freakin weekend baby I’m about to have me some fun

 

The LED in the middle is a JW Speaker. They are popular on vintage Porsche headlight buckets with clear glass rather than fluted glass in front. Cost is about $500 bucks for a pair IIRC.

major dilemma.


My range is broke. Those lights stay on full time. So, i could buy a new range, OR just unplug those lights & spend that money on the truck. Decisions, decisions.

 

A Coleman 425C will cook just about anything

 

It still cooks, just padding my truck or motorcycle fund in a way that lets me feel like im saving money.

 

Or just replace the bad relay/switch that turned them on.

 

might be a $30-80 infinite switch (the knobs) or might be the board.

 

Probably more like $30. Where do you see them listed for $80?

 

inflation is a bitch. Lol. Switch might just need cleaning.


i havent opened it up yet to pull a part #. I need some colored electrical tape.

 

Sunday night movie

 

Electrical tape over the lights and spend the money on motorcycles.
