Id have to say your pretty creative, designing your own 3rd brake light.
Hope you update us about your exhaust, maybe make a video, with a soundbyte.


I found this cheap lil project for ya.

I would like to know how you made the 3rd brake light. Where did you get the parts?

I'l have to do a writeup for you guys. All it was is another third brake light from a 95-99 Monte Carlo with the brickyard rear spoiler. I cut it in half, soldered some connections to bring the two halves back together, then fit it inside the stock Durango third brake light housing, glued it in and away I went. Little more work than just that, but it wasn't bad at all.

Anyway, I got rid of the Magnaflow tonight, had a Flowmaster Delta Flow 40 installed. Much happier with the exhaust note! Got the tailpipes turned out the sides behind the rear tires. Still need to get tips now, but for winter I'll live without tips.

I took it out the sides because I have a hitch and it looks funny when they come straight out the back, one is almost touching the hitch and the other isn't even close due to the offset of the hitch.



Yes, I know I have belt squeak. Damn thing WILL not stop. I spray it with belt dressing every 2-3 drives because it will start chattering. I've replaced the belt, and tensioner 2x now. Goes away if you spray the belt, so I know that's the issue. I may have to try a Goodyear gatorback belt or something.

It's got some bark, but still not loud in my opinion. Used to old muscle cars I guess. :? :lol:

Didn't mean to spin the tires on the road, guess the ground is too cold, even after I let off and got back into it they broke loose again

As far as the 2G wiper mod, I already have that.. Those pics of the LED tails on were taken before I replaced the rear wiper motor (was seized, that's why it was stuck half up) the base of the OEM wiper arm was rotted pretty good too.

I don't really do too much in the R/C world anymore, I have all them still and have wanted to sell them but I can't let them go for less than half what I paid, so here they sit. I haven't flown my helicopter in over a year. lol

Not necessarily in this order, but:

Westin Brushguard, new KC's for the brushguard, Liberty Renegade roof light system (if it will even fit--I gotta measure the one my buddy has on his Liberty, the system is pricey though but I don't like any of the alternative light mounting systems), 33" Kumho Road Venture MT KL71's, tail light guards, tips, and then maybe a Yakima roof basket system if I can find one I like. Oh, I also want to get my clear headlights again too.

After that, probably not much.
