Don't have all the pics here. But


Just the new fogs

High beam I believe.

Low and fog. It has so much better visibility than the high alone.

Also got brackets for the Denali in.

Then it was time to get busy!!!

Some differences between the two. The led had so much open space I would have needed a boot and it would have been a pain to get them in the Denali and not dust. The hid was just a batter of bolt and silicone the edges.

OEM vs H1's

Flopped the led I had in the low, to the high spot ( did mostly for the color) and along with a fresh set of 3k led for the fogs, looking pretty good.

Then it was on to the car. I have done some mini H1's into these cars before, and it wasn't too bad. These are slightly larger and took some effort to get in there and half ass straight. But even tho they are not perfect, they are sooooo much better than stock I don't even care.




Needless to say there was some "fitting" need done.

Had to all but mutilate the shrouds to get them in there.

But we got them

And I think the effort was worth it.

Also got the truck from Dad's house to mine so I can start getting the case swapped and hopefully drivable soon! (. Yes we strapped it, we are 1 mile apart and most of that is a 35 zone).

Inside and ready to get something to did. Now if it would quit being freezing and being at work on the warmer days.

Just look at it! However the electrical is in far better shape than I had previously thought.

Ok, now for the personal updates.

Her mom's house that we have been trying to sell for the last two years. ( Which is one of the plain reasons for the camper) Finally got a real offer and looking like that whole thing is going down very soon. So we will have too e her mom to the camper and start the construction on whatever the new place will be soon.. as well as get her things in the storage container.



And the other huge thing is that I work at a nuclear power plant, and we are setting some firsts. We shit down and started decommissioning about a year and a half ago. ( I have been armed security for right at 20 years here)


Well we are now going to the the first plant in the country and one of very few in the world that will be repowered and brought back on line. With this is coming a restaffing for a multitude of jobs. And I put in for many of them. Had to take a test ( mass test for power plants if anyone wanted to look that up. ). And apparently passed, as I have an interview scheduled on the 4-15!! If I get the job it will mean very different hours, less overtime and almost $15/hr raise! So here is to hoping.
