Maybe dlyter will decide to dump his Gen 2 and use the 3rd Gen and put his MegaViper up on Craigslist, I call dibbs! Oh wait, that's for a 4wd, dammit!

Edit: Need a 4x4 dodge dude94!
Only way I will step away from my 2nd gen is for a 3rd gen cummins... Either way you will have first dibs if that happens

Thanks.
Yeah, they do. They work best on country roads with woods on either side, helps the light bounce off stuff easier.

I wanna get some better bulbs than the cheapy 100watts that are in there now, but I can't justify close to $50 and shipping for 1 bulb. lol

No underscores!


Nah, they work fine for now, besides, I've got a timing set and exhaust work to save up for.






And insurance.

Why would I melt the wiring? Switches, yes, wiring, I don't think so.

Got some pictures of the load, it's really taxing my 1500 suspension and there is still A LOT of tree left to cut up. On the plus side it has AWESOME traction right now

Ridin low:


and a little light on the steering eh?

may want to invest in some timbrens, or some other weight leveling helpers.

ive put a heck of a lot more wood into the bed of my truck, and didnt squat nearly as bad as yours is. though i do have a 4x4, but still had stock suspension at that time.
