Took ours on a 10hr drive from Fortuna, CA to Bakersfield, CA. Only change was the 35w DDM HIDs. They were amazing on the drive. Decided to fully trust the Ultragauge's Distance-to-empty feature and it didn't disappoint. All-time mpg average is about 18.2 as of right now.

35w 5000k DDM HIDs. Just need to adjust them up quite a bit. What do you guys use to adjust your headlights? I don't seem to have anything that works? *Edit* Scratch that. Just read a thread about using a long #2 Phillips. That's a handy trick. I'll have to see if I have one that long.

I opened the hood on my runner and looked at it real good for about 20 minutes today to visualize where I'm going to mount the ballasts and route the wiring for the DDM HIDs I got in the mail today. Wife lost her pass headlight the other day and got a fix-it ticket so she asked me for some...

I have them as well on my 99 SR5. I was actually looking to score a second set to see if they might make decent mirrors for my powerstroke (has anybody else noticed how freakin' huge and clear 4R mirrors are? It's crazy.) I just can't find heated/power mirrors anywhere. There in an abundance of...

Kicker is that there are no yards up where I'm at. The only one is an inventory-only yard that marks things up to almost OEM pricing.

Does anybody have any idea where I might find some heated power mirrors? I've got this cockamamy idea for them, but I can't find the heated ones anywhere. Ebay, craigslist, rockauto, partsgeek, nothing. Anybody got any ideas?

I need to do that too. Driver's side doesn't spray.

This build is looking great, man. Keep up the good work!

Finally got to drive around with the UG this weekend. I love it. I have an Aeroforce Interceptor II in my Powerstroke and the UG is much more versatile and informative. Worst part is that the Interceptor was >$200. Too bad the UG doesn't work in the truck. In the 4R, though, it's totally changed...

Do you have any daylight pics of your install? That location looks perfect.

I'll have to grab a few pics of the UG tonight when the wife's back. (My DD is a 96 powerstroke. Haha. She drives the 4R.) Thought I'd post a picture of my ride. Still pretty stock except deckplate. (That's my DD in the background.)

Looking good, man. Love the new stance. How you liking that ultra gauge? So far I'm all about mine. It's actually my wife's ride so she's gotten to play with it more than I have. Precious cargo! Congrats on getting hitched. Shoot, 13 years? I would say that's pretty good.

Got my ultra gauge installed today and all set up. Just need to route the slack in the cable a bit and it'll be all set for the windshield mount. I'll be hard-mounting it sometime in the near future, just too busy for it today. So far it seems like a decent unit.

I was lucky enough to get in on this. Just got mine in the mail today. Hooked it up to my 96 powerstroke, too. Didn't like it though. Kills the Ford once it starts scanning. Haha. Oh well. It was worth a try. I'm excited to play with it in my t4r today during my break.

Just got my name on the group buy list over at TW. Thanks for the heads up guys!
