How do you like the orange lights? Is it just a cover that can be changed out? Love your truck!

They are just amber covers that pop on. I have some clear ones too. I like the yellow light in the winter, it helps reduce the glare on the snow.

Finally put some bump stops in the front of this thing. I'm going to order some shorter front shocks. I have to try to limit the droop to keep the driveshaft from binding. I am trying to get the last few loose ends tied up so I can jump on my Willys. If anyone cares the bump stops are Dorman PN 523-049. They are for the rear of a GMT800 truck.
truck is smoking, you should fix that

Its old enough to make its own life decisions.
These are a little cheaper than shorter shocks.

I had them on my crawler and they held up good. I thought they were going to be too short at first, but they were about perfect once I quit thinking so hard.

That's a nice, clean, and simple looking bump stop. I like it.
I lol'd at work, and now I'm being stared at...
Did those bumpstops come complete with the cup and hardware? I have rear ones off an F550 on my K5. Similar but I haven't looked if they have a Dorman version.

I was thinking about limit straps but Im also worrying about shocks bottoming out if I go with flat u bolt plates to get some more up travel. Shorter shocks get me some more room.
Yes. Complete with cup and nut. A pair costs roughly $40 on ebay. They are pretty soft and will compress down to about 2" over all height when you put some weight on them.

well procrastination got the best of me today. I kept telling myself to get shorter shocks or limit straps. I must have bound up the CV because that thing came apart quick. Both joints broken and broke the H block.
Ouch.
Yeah that’s a good one man!
Ouch! That sucks man!
Wow you did good

Back in business. I ended up destroying everything in the CV, so they had to replace it all. Tom Woods was really cool about it and they only charged me half price since they couldn't 100% rule out the cause being a joint failure. So it was only a $120 mistake.
just found this thread and easily crushed it. Wicked looking truck! One of my favourite SAS ive seen. Ill be keeping up with it now.
