It's a late start to summer this year. But these pic were actually taken in March lol.
And our state mascot is Ice T. Didn't you people learn anything in school?!

The state bird is the mosquito.

Was bored and started on a project. Dechromed the HD grille. Razor blade and lots of patients.View attachment 199409 View attachment 199410

How’d you do that? Shave it off or chip it off

EDIT: Nvm I found the post in the “what did you do today” thread right after I posted this. Gonna sand it since mine as not bubbling yet.

I know 40 year olds that can't find it on a globe cause it's always in that little box in the corner of the map. I say if it can't fit on a map, it doesn't count.

Lol.... my daughter's 3rd grade class just ripped off all 50 states and capitals as well as identifying where they are on the map. They each had a state and had to do a trifold display and talk about their states. Juneau where Alaska is right?

They all rapped to this song.

BTW, super nice work in the hibernation den. Glad I could contribute to some of that work. Now here is a challenge and you are just the man to mock it up and mess around with it. I want to see you mock up some bright ass lightbar/lights/pods, etc... that fills the OEM fog light gap and all the way over to the gap that houses the tow hooks. Just spitballing to see what you might come up with. Be more like a swath of light in front of the NBS. Mini fog light bars. Would solve that worthless output from the NBS OEM fogs.

That was pretty damn cool.

Clearly, it's just off the southwest coast of California.

Just below Hawaii.

 

[PG01]

Just below Hawaii.

In a box

 

[05Single]

Harharhar yeah yeah Alaska is Americas step child, I get it already


And FYI they just changed it , Anchorage has been the capital since 2014

So have the projectors apart to paint the shroud for a demon eye look while projectors are off. Undecided on what color I want. A choice of white , red , blue , black. My truck is blue and headlights will be all black. Leaning towards blue or black.

 

[05Single]

Some other examples.

No that's too much for me, not a fan of light bars or pods personally. I already have the projector fogs and if I take those hooks out I'll need them one day in a snow storm and won't have them
Speaking of....

Painted the chrome housing so it's less noticeble.
Had to figure out spacing in order to use the stock fog brackets. Shaved/trimmed around the mounting spot I picked.

Used what I could find as mocking up a spacer so the light sits low enough to sit inside the fog opening evenly

Had some extra random plastic pieces. Used one and cut it for a spacer

 

[05Single]

Ready for mounting.

 

[05Single]

Took off the lower lip. Had sprayed plastidip glossifier over it. Looked like crap. I do not recommend glossifier out of the can. You can see the raw plastic has more gloss lol

 

[PG01]

You think those fogs will take a beating, just because they are so low....since they are projectors whatdaya think of a plexiglass cover in front of them cut to shape of pastic bumper cutout?
