Yea, the government CDC has website on zombie preparedness, but has nothing about guns on the site. That's does make me feel safer. I do not invest in gold or silver, I put my money in lead......lol
Walking dead is the best show on zombies....

OUTSANE, FOLKS..... WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER! HAHAHAHA.
Yep, one of my ALL TIME favorite Crime/Thriller flix!
If you liked Se7en, try another that I've mentioned.... "Suspect Zero".... Ben Kingsley is GREAT in that(was great in "Sexy Beast" and many others as well).. It's no Se7en... but was great, nonetheless.
Sorry, thread diversion ended, PROMISE! lol.

thanks zelephant
oh i have played the zombie game on COD. its pretty hard but i dont play much anymore.
i got some info about my rumbling sound from 4crawler thru PM. will talk more about them after i get some stuff done. the driveshaft is at a driveline shop getting balanced.
got these bad boys installed. finds out that they are just hella 500. well these say hella comet 500 on the back. made in germany. got all the wires ran just need to hook them up..
had to trim this mounting spot. honestly, you could just cut it off complete as it the gauge cover will still stay on tight without it
installed. the bottom sticks out VERY little but it works. i think i need to trim something else but not sure. it was getting dark and the cover will stay pretty flush once i get the screws installed

thanks. i was trying to use the factory elocker switch but its only an on off switch.
that was the goal. i see the harbor freight off road lights. at 7.99 each. they are super bright
haha yea right at home after some work to the dash. cant wait to use them when on the trail
thanks. i need to keep an out out for you now.
a few kids moved down the street from me and have some 4x4 and a toyota SAS. looks like they rent the place but im not sure. might have to hit them up and see if they wheel their junk or just like the locals here with full size lifted chevy cruise around the mall
i really didnt want to use any aftermarket switches but seeing as the oem locker switch wasnt gonna work without getting my cousin involved (electrical engineer) was only gonna use the aftermarket elocker switch but wouldnt fit in the spot where the clutch cancel switch was. figure if i have to cut, might as well add more switches so i do it only once. this idea wasnt mine to began with. i see it on someones build page here on yotatech a long time ago but dont know who now

thanks. i just used a dremel i got from costco. i cut it slightly smaller than the panel and used a sanding wheel to expand it just enough for the panel to fit. i did have to remove some plastic not show because the wires need room haha

well today, works been slow and decided to install some new motor mounts since i did the trans mount which was coming apart. reason for the motor mounts was the old was are probably old and snagging down. new ones will bring the engine up which in turns till the rear t-case down a little bit to help with my drive line angle. this was not the fix for my drive line noise and axle shims will. i wanna make sure everything up front was new and where its gonna be for a long time so the axle shim i pick now wont change down the line cuz the motor mounts. after inspected the mounts. they are starting to come apart so it was needed to be replaced anyways. never will i do these mounts, atleast the passanger side. due to my headers and the starter. it was extemely hard to raise the motor high enough without the headers hitting the body to slide the mount out. i even loosen the body mounts and raised the body with no luck. the mounting bracket to the block needed to be removed. since the a/c compressor over there, the a/c has to come out to remove it. well i just removed three bolts and loosen the bolt that shares with the a/c compressor. this allowed me to turn the bracket high enough to remove and install the new mount. took me like 2-3 hours at work on a lift with two screw jacks... during the process of lifting the body, i pushed up the rocker panel a little bit.. so sad.. the driver side took me like 5 mins. just raised the engine and the mount was out..
old mounts. oh the the top bushing is from my passanger side upper control arm. during the motor mount install, i noticed the bushing was just about out of the arm. looks like i will be going Long Travel alot sooner.
no bushing. drove fine and didnt noise any noises.. lol wonder how long its been like this
finally new motor mounts
