[QUOTE="SlugSlinger, post: 3413842, member: 7248"] Not much going on now. Got the front 1350 flange and cv driveshaft installed. I’ve adjusted the front and rear pinion angles and believe it’s set good to decrease and or eliminate any driveline vibration. Tested the front air locker and assembly and it seems to be working like it should. I’ve been messing with the lighting lately. I like a lot of light shining on the road without irritating on coming drivers. I installed some E Code Hellas with some led bulbs, but the led just doesn’t produce the lumens that HIDs make. And without spending hundreds of dollars, I haven’t found an off the shelf solution. So I’m going to modify the factory headlight assemblies and install some projectors and HIDs. There’s lots of videos on how to install projectors, but the Jeep headlight is a lot different than any of the videos I’ve watched, so I’m gonna improvise. This is where I’m at now. I’ve got the Morimoto HID kit on order. The projectors were cheap amazon items but had good reviews for what that is worth these days with all the fake reviews.
