He tried talking me out of a roll bar I had..,..... It was kinda pathetic now that I think about it.Glad I am not as dumb as i look. lol

You just needed a better set of wheelers. Not a different vehicle.lol.......

Well, since you asked so nicely. I will tell. I think that people need to READ MORE about what they are planning to accomplish and make a plan. Not just jump willy nilly into a retarded venture that could end up hurting someone. If he bough tthe kit form someone that did not give him instructions that is his bad. Maybe he should have READ MORE about it. I just googled 2" ea81 lift. Never guess what the first codswalloping post was. FROM HERE! SO, just sayin. In closing, I would like to say that If I didna say something, noone would. There is no growth without grooming.

It took me a week with all of the rusty bolts, improper tools, and shitty space. But I still got it done. I asked dumb questions too. And was told the same thing. If he hasn't even looked under his car, he shouldna be doing this.I don't care what anyone says. I am perfectly nice. All I said was READ MORE. cheers

I already took care of him...

It's called google.

I have an idea. READ MORE.

No shitt Sherlock. He didna ask what problems, he is pretty smart like that. He asked if you had done it and thought it was worth it. Have you? no.

"I'm looking forward to see the lights in all their glory, just hoping it happens before my 9 year old graduates high school. lol" You and me both brother, you and me both. lol

I have ran LSdeed rigs that acted kinda funny at times. You need to take the cover off and spary it out real good with a couple of cans of brakleen. Then add your proper LSd gear oil, or regular gear oil and LSd additive. I have more luck with the regular gear oil and additive myself. Also, do this while the rear of the car is in the air so you can turn it as you clean. There is also a pretty good write-up about them I got from a 510 guy a while ago. It is in the "offrood FAQ" . In the offroad section of course. cheers

yeah!, lets just answer questions and not make people search to actually enable them to gain more intimate knowledge of their own vehicles! YEAH. SWEET!

I have bought tons of LED stuff for work over the last couple years. Have studied it. Not discounting those lights. I have just found that cost/value benefit is something to look at for this build. I seriously have not looked at total in about a year. Don't wanna know now. The thing about it is, how much money do i want to throw down the toilet. We are not the same type of driver. I beat spoob. You don't. Not to say that we don't and Can't wheel the same. You like finesse. I have aggression. I take it out on my rigs. That being said. I dunno if expensive lights are for me.lol I am bound to pound.All the pot in the world can't make me mellow. it only evens me out lol \If AND when I get that dAMNED Lightbar.I will mount it on the truck where I get the most benefit .With the four 27w lights at 1980 lumens each up front, I will be set pretty well. With the other two I already have,( If I don't sell them), will be great rock lights. I read more than you think. As a matter of fact , I proud myself on being a tech guy. The advantage of being able to replace something at a lower cost due to making a line is priceless. It is unlikely that anything I mount will get broken because they are in such random places. BUT The headlights with protection.........Would have to be head on. The louvres to the windshield wipers(damn!why can't I think of that word?)LOL......44 inches is perfect size to do what I want. EDIT: COWL pirateflippyoffything I guess my point is that I am not limited on mounting options.I can add more lights without codswalloping up a factory finish.Mines already toast The alternator I bought is perfect for my output with the entire system. 300w light bar 108w haedlights 32w rock lights 5w fuel pump 200w stereo 4w CB 3w interior lights(also LED) 20w CB speaker 160w fans 50w heater fans ecu like 3w lol air compressors.hrrmm. between like 12w, and 20w for min to COnstant 100% duty cycle. 905w/12v=75.416amps with a 140 amp alt., I should be alright. Those lamps are about 27920 lumens all together.If I need more,, I have a little wiggle room. Thats forward facing lumens at that point. That does not include the rock lamps. And if ya wanna talk straight lumens. My smaller quad set will put out more than your duece. And really, I Just need them to fill holes in a grill . lol I could have just used the lights I already had. But found some pretty good deals on way more efficient lighting. so, My four of a kind, beats your pair . lol cheers

no, I OCD ALOT! lol I worked on the rear mount radiator. Got the under the truck pipes, and the flex hose. Incorporated the battery tray into the radiator mount. I will use battery boxes for protection of the cables and such. I will try to seal them up well. I am ordering an exhaust header to cut down and use. I went through about 60 bucks in crappy exhaust pieces trying to piece something together. I looked at a ton of different options. I was going to piece it together, then buy SS pieces, and rock it out. I also have to notch an oil pan, I may have to order another pickup tube that has more of an s-curve for the clearance. But I may be able to get just past the stock one. Umm, what else. I also have the ecu mounted up above the steering column now, and have some more wiring layout figured out. I figured out the color. My surprise lights were a scam, so I have to wait to get refunded for those and I will by another real auction Light. anyways, I'll get some pics up this week. cheers

You should be checking out places like Genright, Poison Spyder, etc. .Those are the badass places .lol It's simply a snowball.

So, which ones?8.8's? I just have to say, I still love the work, but If I was doing it and going Ford, I would go 9".But. regardless, the weight of the vehicle can be handled a bit by 8.8's. Nice, was wondering which he was going with. I like it. something I havee been contemplating for a long fawking time. Glad someone is actually doing it . And proper at that. I would have built from the diffs out. , not to say he didn't, but it is kinda deceiving when you look at the pictars. cheers

Why did you even ask ? You were already on the right track.LOGIC. Should have been a Law. You will know EXACTLY what to do , And When to do it , From here on out. lol Yeah man, Logic states that you need to know where to put something. cheers

or just plug the number into these here webs and find out. Edrach(RIP) found a nice long list of transmissions that is pretty complete. I am sure if you searched a skosch you would find it. Then you would just know.

In short. YES. lol both at once. cheers

Good replacement.Any pics of the lift you made for it? lol AND, did you ever paint the LOtus like you wanted?(it was a Lotus wassn't it? ) Just as a comparison to some on the market. cheers

Here ya go Jeszek. I am liking V2.0 , It is tighter space which obviously made it more challenging to lay out the wire paths. I also have some Amphenol connectors I decided to use instead of the bulkhead connector. It should work out. Have plenty more to do. Time is the issue. cheers I have cleaned up a few things with the truck, and am just plugging along.

damnit man.... i'm sad from this.

NoNO, they already were rated appropriately. Simply changing the BOx/size for better fitment under the dash. It is changiug from that yellow box a few pages back, to a 500 cartridge military ammo can. You'll see. Really small runs (length) of wire allow you to utilize a smaller size, guage wise.All of the large wire can still be regular battery cable size. The alternator wires on the stock harness are adequate to carry the load over that distance. I have been doing the math. Fear not, I am taking this seriously . and then relays are another thing. The box itself is Overwired(defenitely larger guage and rating than needed), with relays on every circuit except ECU, CB, and possibly the Wife Eject button(horn )Depends on how I feel in a couple of days when I tidy it up. I also got some different Military grade Amphenol plugs from my boss that I will use to seperate the systems. This will help in all kinds of ways down the road. Especially isolating systems for troubleshooting. As long as my soldering job goes well, we're good LOL. cheers

It stated 140amps in the ebay advertisement. ACE alternators. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151328018523?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 The gentleman I took it to for the test has been building starters and alternators for about 40yrs. Mostly for marine and industrial use. cheers
