When I googled "how many parts are in an engine", the first hit was a Toyota article that indicated they had ~30,000 parts making up a single car (not just the engine).

It's funny you can Google an answer about pretty much anything but when I tried to get an answer to how many parts are in a V8 engine nobody seemed to know. I have torn down and built a Ford 460 V8 back in the day though and I can say if it had thousands of parts I would have never got it back together. I say BS too.

I used these guys, it's vinyl and a perfect fit, it's been about 6 months and still looks great! Took me about 1.5hrs

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/322339385563
Looks good and a great price, but it's vinyl, which wears differently and will look different when it ages a little. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, just wanted to put that out there.

Yesterday I replaced my driver's side front hub and installed new front brakes, and put spacers in all four corners. My wheels are finally flush with the flares, subtle change but helps a lot. I'll get pics in a bit.

1.5" The stock lugs stick out a tiny bit, but the work truck rims I have actually have little divets that accommodate the extra bit. I torqued everything to spec, probably gonna go back and re-tighten everything this upcoming week to make sure.

Cleaned out my DRL sockets with contact cleaner and put LED bulbs in. No more worries about burning up the socket now.

Nice! which way are you mounting the led's, vertical or horizontal? I have to readjust mine...I blind the hell out of drivers to my left, the right(passenger side) is aiming up at the signs on the highway lol
Damn, honestly I have no idea! Lol. Just whatever way they lock into the housings. No one has ever high beamed me so I have to assume I'm not blinding anyone.

Got the right bulbs? 4114.
I went with 3157. Same socket and since its an LED bulb, I'm not worrying about heat.

Did a little shootout between parts store tire pressure gauges. Looks like the Slime branded one is as good as my Longacre one!

These are the lights I have now Lumen® - LED Headlight Conversion Kit
All leds should be designed for a horizontal pattern when seated. Might have yours crooked?
