'89 R3500 Crew Cab 2wd to 4wd conversion & beyond

Paragraph 1 of 42-4-215 addresses that. It says in summary all vehicles shall be equipped with a red or amber light that is actuated by the brake. If you google colorado revised statutes it will take you to a link for lexis nexus colorado

I like the idea of splitting the brake and turn like @Capt Ron mentioned. The only reservation I have is the reliability of the cheap jungle company led lights. I like knowing I have the reliable red lights flashing too.

I'd just leave them both how they are until you get pulled over and told differently.

Okay, I decided my license plate solution was fitting for the truck. I cobbled together some scrap pieces of tube I had on the shelf to make something sturdier.





The tubes sleeve together tightly enough I don't need any kind of pins.

Gonna be a shame we can't test that out on coyote in the next few weeks.

 

[mrk5]

It would get a hell of a workout if I tried to get the crew cab thru Coyote.

 

[Tnsejed]

It would be so cool. Either way, good looking plate holder.

Until they do

I greased the sleeved tubes. And I made it removable so I could grease it in the future.

I've been working on popping out door dents. The rear doors are a real pain in the arse to work inside of. Way less room.

Before:



After:


Far from perfect but I like the results much better.

I figured out adding a little flexible tube at the needle valve really helps save the needle valves from getting bent as easily.



I like the football because the oblong shape helps fit the bigger spaces and the smaller diameter helps in tighter spaces.

Stop running into things would also fix your dent problem

 

[mrk5]

Well sure. I could just stop offroading too.

What would you do with all of your money and time??

 

[mrk5]

I'm sure I'd find something else to spend it all on.

Not anything near as fun.

The Rubicon scraped off the 3+3 badge so I put it back on with bolts.

 

[70jimmy]

E + E is that like double electric?

Maybe get electric vehicle plates

I figured you all would catch that quick. Admittedly when I went to install it I really had to think about, had to write a 3 with my finger to be sure. Then I thought it would be funny to just put it on wrong. Then later I still had to double check I actually did put it on wrong.

It’s ok, I put a new trans filter and gasket in havnt even topped off the 5quarts and it’s already leaking.
