Just the H9s that came in them. I've got a set of Diode Dynamics SS3 fog lights on the way, along with SAE driving lenses to convert them to driving lights, so I'll have plenty of high-beam light.

FWIW, there are a number of Hella 90mm LED and HID headlights, but they're a lot deeper and I wasn't sure if they'd fit lengthwise.

After looking at the umpteen threads about installing projectors in the stock housings, seeing all the aftermarket assemblies folks have been using, and going through my usual engineer "paralysis by analysis," I decided to try a different route. These are Hella 90mm (H9 65W) in a sacrificial Depo housing I'm only using for the protyping and testing. I'm only doing one side for now, but this should tell me what I need to know.

At this stage, I designed the mount plates so they could be used for either position, so they're not optimal for either position. There are two adjusters up top and one at the bottom, with the ones at the bottom being towards the middle, allowing individual access from the back side. I haven't figured out what I'm going to do about the lights not filling the existing bezel fully, but it'll likely be some kind of "sclera" in either polished aluminum or black.

We'll see how this works on a long drive I'll be doing soon.

very nice. I love a good headlight project.


I just got back from what turned into a 5h night drive on a GPS adventure thru the never ending back roads in tx. always thankful for good lights when it's pitch black and have no idea where the roads are going but the speed limit start at 70 haha.

tx thinks street lights are illegal lol. I had a rental house once and no joke, the street lights were part of the hoa fee because the city and county doesn't install them basically anywhere lol

Sounds like what it is like driving around WY once you get out of town anywhere.
It is pitch black out here on the country back roads.

With a warm day this week, I had a chance to get the first of multiple antennas mounted on the Tahoe. This one is for HF communications, and required an extra ground strap from the mount to the inner fender to get the best results.

So this was fun, driving home from work, stopped at the hobby shop to get soem RC parts, get back in truck and all my gauges are dead. DIC is dead, no gear indicator, chimes 3 times. Runs and drives just fine. Shut it off, opened the door to clear the power, restart, same thing. Drive it home and they never came back. Checked all my fuses, looks good, grounds initial check look fine. smacked the dash, nothing..smacked the cluster and when i started it back up, all is well..... guess that means the cluster has a connection issue??? i still need to check a drivers side ground that i saw referenced alot, but seemed weird to happen for sitting for just a couple minutes.

As far as what im doing, have oil cooler block off plate going on this weekend and possibly valve cover gaskets too

oil change done, block off plate swapped, so far it seems to have caught the major leak. just waiting on valve cover gaskets now, passenger side is leaking either at the rear or the rear bolt grommit, but its not near as bad as the block off plate.

Still nothing new with the gauge cluster, working fine. when looking for repair options, I did though find some pretty sweet overlay options, so i might switch mine out again.

Did some 2500 things, and picked up 60 gallons of distilled water. Amazing how 500lbs of water makes it ride like it's supposed to.

For those wondering, why??? My wife and I had our first born a month ago and are making formula!

Finally washed all of the desert dirt off of it from Thanksgiving trip.
Now I need to slap some armor All on the tires and probably have to get E85 later today

Still need to empty out and clean the inside though

Wow. Making formula for just a single one month old baby?!?!

Did you really just buy 60 gallons just to make formula for one baby? Surely you’re going to use that for something else? That’s a bit much. I hope no one else in your area needed any.

You have to know that amount is a bit extreme; By extreme I mean that amount puts you in the apocalypse prep category.

First new born a month ago; So you’re still making just 2-4 oz bottles at a time. And thought you needed to buy 6-8 months worth of distilled water all at once?

This brings up some valid questions…

How many trips did it take you to get all those gallons from the store to your vehicle?
Using standard grocery carts or what?
Did you build a designated shelving unit just for the distilled water?
Does it have a label on it that says “Distilled water for formula use only”?
Do you have to drive over an hour away from your home to get to the nearest store that offers 1 gallon containers of distilled water?
Is there a shortage of distilled water in your area?
Did you know there is such a thing called “Nursey Water” available with or without fluoride specifically for making formula?

Congrats on your first newborn!

I can only speak for myself but I buy food/groceries/consumable goods when it is on sale, as much as I can reasonably use before it expires
I save hundreds of dollars doing this consistently. the only thing I am unable to buy in bulk when on sale is like milk or fresh vegetables because they go bad quickly.
bread can be frozen with no ill effects, some vegetables & milk maybe but i prefer not too
the more you can buy in bulk the more you can save IF you buy at the right price

Finally got the chance to give it another bath since I hit rain last weekend and it hadn't been washed in weeks before that because of the cold.
Was a blazing 50* today so I took advantage and washed it.
Also took care of a slight coolant leak from the lower radiator hose on the radiator side.
When I swapped hoses early this past summer I could not get enough room to reuse the spring clamp.
I even have spring clamp tools with the long wire, squeeze handle along with specific pliers and nothing would fit down there.
Finally gave up and used a worm clamp it needed to be tightened down.
If I ever pull the radiator I'll go back to a spring clamp.
