What LEDS are these in the controls? Look like they have the fewest hot spots of any I've seen. Looks awesome!

I soldered all of the various button leds and HVAC leds with resistors...I didn't use plug and play leds.

----------I used:
----PLCC-2 (for cluster and steering wheel controls): https://www.oznium.com/plcc-2

----3mm flat top (for HVAC, HVAC display, DAC button, side curtain airbag button, center diff lock button, 4wd switch, rear window switch, driver window button, air bag on&off) : 100x White 3mm Flat Top LEDs Wide Angle Light Lamp LED USA | eBay
(if you're replacing a filament light bulb then you need to add a resistor, if you are replacing an LED then you don't)(HVAC display{2 bulbs} run off of ~7volts...so you need a resistor)

----560 ohm resistors: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CHTOB02/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

----#74 LED (for glovebox, console gear selector, cup holder): https://www.superbrightleds.com/mor...b-3-smd-led-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/228/

EDIT: SOLDERING TWO BULBS TOGETHER LIKE BELOW DIDN'T LAST. SWITCHED TO ONE BULB AND A RESISTOR, THIS SETUP HAS BEEN RUNNING STRONG FOR 6+ MONTHS.

Thanks. Sorry I missed that thread the first time. One more question. How do you attach the resistor to the 3mm leds?

Sorry, I'm new to all this

A soldering iron.

Went to Uwharrie National Forest for some trail riding. Beautiful weather this weekend.

Great build thread!

Wondering what your estimated net lift front and rear might be? I just installed about a 3.25/2.5 lift and am wondering what I can get away with for tires. I would like to go with 285/65/18 (the equivalent to yours) but I’m worried about too much rubbing. Did you encounter any when you installed?

Thanks!

Tested my flexing range with my Dobinson shocks.

Hit a deer a few days ago. I think my Demello Offroad bumper paid for itself since I had no damage from the impact. A stock bumper would if exploded.

Just had a little blood and hair on my synthetic line Splicer.
Really woke me up driving home from nightshift.

did you fire up the grill soon after?
