Re: The Big Blue BEAST project











I think i'm going to mount the lighting behind the grill for added protection and mount it in the middle. What do you guys think?

Re: The Big Blue BEAST project

Does anyone know how to replace the switch for the high beams? They are currently stuck in high and wont click outta high when you pull back on the blinkers / wind shield wiper switch.

Short sleeves and no gloves = sun burn
Long sleeves and welding gloves = beautiful none burnt skin

thanks, the system sounds amazing compared to what the factory 4" and 4x10" did. But it's nowhere near enough and later summer I plan on building custom door panels to house a 6 1/2 component (front and rear) and a sub to fit in the spare wheel well.

Currently working on a flush mount system to fit in this DD.









I'm flush mounting two 12" Comp RT kickers with with mono kicker amps.

Re: The Big Blue BEAST project

Any suggestions or input on which lift kit to go with? The truck currently has the quad shock setup in the front and 56" leafs in the rear. I've been kicking around the idea of buying American made leafs for the front and rear plus the install components needed to do to install but I'm not sure who to use and why I should use them? I wanna run the 5100 series bilstein adjustable shocks or the 5160/65 bilsteins but dont know which is a better fit with the least amount of modification. Any input on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

We got a little snow yesterday so I decided to take her out and do some exploring.

Re: The Big Blue BEAST project





After tons of procrastination I was finally able to get home at a decent time and get the brush guard mounted. Long story short when I first bought the brush guard it was total junk. It was bent, had damage here and there, all the mounting points were rusted, all the mounting hardware was missing, and it was covered in rust but after a lot of TLC we finally got it back to it's former glory. Unfortunately, I haven't found the time to finish the brackets needed to hold all the led lighting but I promise it's coming. I also managed to get the cubes mounted on the windshield wiper cowl so that I can now spot ditches while driving.



These should be in by the end of the week.
