Just saying hello

So guys I've checked this site out a few times over the years and finally decided to register so I could chime in on some of the topics.

Heres my truck, 2002 Screw 4x4. 6" Fabtech suspension lift, 3" body lift, this poor truck sees more airtime than the General Lee and it gives me practically no problems (except the plastic intake manifold that just cracked and started leaking coolant)

3.73 rear end gears because those 36's and 20" wheels are super light compared to most. Has great pick up from a stop and still can cruise the highways at whatever speed I want at relatively low RPM.

You should switch your headlights to some black Lightning style heads, and get some Depo clear fog lights.

actually i was trying to decide on new headlights and fogs, the tinted lights were kindof a quick fix because it definately looked better than stock however, the Florida Highway Patrol seems to not like them. I moved my headlight bulbs down into my fog lights after I tinted them and it helped out a lot but it could still be brighter.

not yet. Its always in the woods after dark, but one of these days I'll definately get some vids. I just put new everything up under the front end so now I can start bashing it some more without worrying if I can make it home or not.

Hunt down a PI intake manifold from a 99, they are the only year I believe that were aluminum I think it is, or some kind of cast metal. Some new gaskets and a good cleaning (throttle body, egr ports and IAC) while its off. Be a whole new truck. Better get to it soon before that crack turns ugly.

Man, I wish I would have checked here first. I went ahead and tore it apart the other day to see if it was just the small o-ring gasket in the coolant crossover tube (but knowing that I dont have that kind of luck) Once I found the damage I asked around because I knew that I had heard of an aluminum one that would fit but no one knew exactly which one, so i just went ahead and ordered the plastic Dorman manifold for now. But thanks man, Ill keep that in mind and keep my eye out for a used one around to P&P since you cant do that with the plastic ones.

You put 9007 bulbs in a H10 socket?
