i just changed a corner bulb in those lights. lots of fun. the screw deal on the back of the lights won't let them come back out, not easily anyway. so i had to cram my hand behind the headlight and in front of the battery tray while hugging the brush guard to reach the bulb.

also changed my o2 sensor, i only took it for a 6 mile trip and don't see any difference, hopefully the pcm just needs to learn the new sensor.

i also put the stock air box from my sisters truck in there to see if it'd be any better.
that thing kinda sucks from 50mph and up compared to the 14x3.

yea, thats one thing i noticed when i put the 14x3 on mine, highway running was much easier and for some reason, it seemed to have less trouble pulling the bean buggy (6000 loaded)

edit: forgot to mention what happened to my RAM today

worked on the plenum, got it to the point i could pull the intake (that EGR tube is a REAL bitch to remove) but it's hanging up on something on the left rear corner, so dad and i are going to go back tomorrow and pull the dizzy cap and wires for a better look, should be done sometime tomorrow (with pictures)

also started rust removal from the cab corner with one of those black mesh looking wheels you put on a drill, works great....

...when the drill's battery isn't dead lol

also i painted the chrome 14x3 eddie airhat maroon (i gotz body match paint!!) its a little lighter than the body due to being on chrome (almost looks candy apple red...i love it)

Found out I've been driving around with only 5psi in my right rear tire. Filled it back up yesterday and when I checked it again this morning it was back down to 5, so it looks like it's time for a patch. I should just get new tires because these dunlop off roads royally SUCK on anything but dry pavement and mud.
