Thanks Dan...You are the only "vote" so far. I don't know about the LED's being used as a turn signal. I am assuming it has some sort of turn signal built into as is...........or wouldn't be DOT approved.

I am kinda leaning toward this one. I don't think I care for bluish halo looking ones as much.

Brian,

Do you have room in the house for me lay a sleeping bag? Or even better, do you have a bed available? I may go ahead and stay Friday night if that is ok and I can work it out.

Way I read it...we're having the meet at his (grandfathers) shop location, not at parents house.

As it stands now...I can't get down there till Sat AM. Working on friday night but looks doubtful.

The shop is on my grandfathers land. bout 15mins away from my parents house.... Now it's not a normal shop, it has a 20X40 apartment attached. Should be 3 couches in there avail for sleeping, and air mattress if anybody wants to plug it into the wall and push a button (actually pretty dang comfortable), or if anybody wants to drive for 15min, we have 2 or 3 guest beds and 2 huge couches at the house. It's really whatever you guys feel like... You want beds we can get a bed, place to unroll a sleeping bag got that, place to park your truck under cover got that too.... Can always take you down the street and throw you on one of the plinths at the clinic! I've slept on them before working late!! Not too bad Have a couple queen size I believe lol Or we can strap you to the traction table and leave you alone for a few hours....

I didn't reply to headlights cause I've already told you I like the stockers just fine on your truck!

Probably parked right next to your tent...in case it rains.

No biggie, but I don't remember you ever telling me that. Sure you didn't just "think" it and not "tell" it.

Yeah im a pansie.....why be uncomfortable with a bed inside close by.... and with the sun waking you up before you are ready to get up.

Brian...it's up to you where you put me.....if you can. I really would rather not sleep in the truck if at all possible.

I have the tubing and fittings for the fuel gauge. I am really uncomfortable with this needle valve thing. I STILL want to use my isolator.

I was talking to a guy from Geno's and he said that diesel will eventually EAT the back of the gauge and cause it to leak. He said they won't sell the FP gauges without them.

So, Brian, if you don't mind helping me with it..........let's just reinstall new tubing line back to the isolator with antifreeze and try it again. I know it may fail again eventually......but there really isn't an alternative that I see unless it's run on the outside like Mike does.

Any projects to do?
Shame to let a nice indoor shop go to waste.
I'll be changing my Rear Differential Fluid, Re-Painting my Centramatics.... and installing the new Quad 'Adrenaline' Box, if it comes in by Friday.
