LOLOLOLOLOLOL It's called an European shoulder bag Pres! :mrgreen:

Zen and Pres, just how much of a PITA was it to install the one-piecers?
 
#182 ·
Installing the halo headlights was actually fairly simple, the only part that gave us any trouble there was hooking up the LED blinkers. The plug couldn't be inserted all the way or the lights wouldn't work. Other than that, the headlights were relatively easy to do and I didn't even need the resistors I bought! Getting at the bolts was a bit tough though.

The real PITA was the fog lights!
 
#183 ·
That's what I meant, how hard was it to get to the bolts? I saw the pic with you and Pres installing them. Seems Pres was kinda cursing you for bringing them! LOL :mrgreen: Did you have to fab a bracket for the fog lights?
 
#184 ·
Prez had some handy dandy super thin 1/4 ratchet extensions which was the only way possible to get between the bumper and headlight to reach the bolt with a 10 mm socket that we had to tape onto the extension so it wouldn't fall off!

We didn't need to fab any brackets for the fog lights, but we couldn't use the stock hardware to screw it back in place, because the housing for the projector beam on the new fogs stuck out way further than the stock fogs and it was nearly impossible to cut away the plastic bracket enough to make room for the housing to fit between the two holes while still maintaining the integrity of those holes for the screws. We ended up using longer screws and spacers on one to keep both lights evenly set in the holes.

I thought so re: the extensions and taping.
LOL You guys could have used drywall screws to keep the fogs in place! You should see the stuff they do at the garages I've frequented!

He also almost lost a few pounds when Neil was tempted to lower the hydraulic jack while he was replacing his O2 sensors! :bugeyed:

By the way Dwayne, I still have that old O2 sensor you hung on my rear view mirror. It's now hanging over my desk next to my Durango Spotlight award plaque. ;)

That's funny? I didn't hang it there :? At least as far as I can remember anyway.

Oxygen sensor, what oxygen sensor? did we work on an oxygen sensor?
That O2 sensor has been all over the country.
It was almost definitely Vinny? or maybe Indy came by and did it?
