I hate to dig up this old thread, but I found replacement LED head lights;

its the 5"x7" unit. $150.00/each
We're recovering slowly, but it's still recovery. Tomarrow I take the car to the body shop to get fixed. I also have an interview with a 4x4 shop that is owned by veterans and employs mostly, if not only veterans. If all works out well, the build will continue there. I'm waiting on a back pay...
He was under 21 and nervous. I don't think he was thinking clearly. I do blame him for not paying attention while driving. But there is a right and a wrong way to do things. If it was just me and he was more concerned about the well being of the occupants, I would have just exchanged insurance...
The kid wanted to go to the atm and give me $100 cash. He thought it was just scratches and paint transfer. My wife went to the hospital via ambulance cause she was in so much pain and having trouble breathing. He said he hit us going 2-5 mph. I was like your car climbed up on my rear bumper!
About 6 months ago we were creamed; a jeep commander rear ended us and pushed us in to the car in front of us. It did 9,600$ worth of damage. My wife has scoliosis and was still trying to heal from the last one. She has a pinched nerve in her back that is causing muscle spasms. So getting hit...
I just so happen to have access to cummins quick serve. Give me ESN and I'll beable to get you what ever info you want. I also have unlimited access to ISIS (international) and what ever Detroits factory info website thing is called. I also ha e connections in to cummins southern plains off of...
Oh, lol. I'm miss understood, I'm sorry sir.
My reasoning for choosing a CUCV for this build is because a HMMWEE is to expensive from the start and it's almost impossible to find an M1114. The truck was $1,200. The cummins was $800 from a wrecking yard. The trans was $300 and front axle was...
Today the Pistons and wheels are being sent out to jet hot. The wheels are getting jet hot gardian coating in flat black. The piston faces (down to the first compression ring groove) are getting jet hot extreme 2000 ceramic coating and the skirts are getting jet hot slick coat. When the head...
Sorry no pictures of the engine. Didn't think any one wanted to see an old, dirty, greasy, filthy cummins. I'm doing this at work, but on my own personal time. So taking pictures aren't on my mind. Also, I have to get the truck/parts to the shop and take it all home when in done for that day...
Yea, basically. If the head does lift, it's got about .050" before it unseats the ring. If you look it up on line you can see some images to get a better of what I'm talking about
Sure, you machine a ring around each cylinder on the block and head. When you assemble the engine, you place the head gasket, a fire ring in the grooves you had machines ( a fire ring is a wire ring) 1/2 the ring sits in the bottom groove and the other half goes in the top groove. When the head...
I work at screamin lizard customs in Bedford Texas. We're part of Grubbs Nissan. We're mostly known for jeep builds; we were one of the first shops to not only swap, but have it work properly and be street legal, a hemi in to a wrangler.
Nothing special to report, much less worth taking pictures of. Stripped the cummins down to bare block and head. Got every thing good and clean. Lots of gunk and carbon. But it's to be expected out of a 300,000 mile truck. I got the engine out of a totaled 95 ram. I junked all the stock gaskets...
Personally, I would go with new springs front and rear. The reason is the spring, over time, probably have lost some their memory/spring, plus the K30 has a non-HD ride. The shocks are most likely worn out. I personally love the ranchero 9000 shocks. There is some tune-ability in them, plus they...
