Installed Diode Dynamics Stage Series Flush Mount Reverse Lights in pods I designed and 3-D printed. Due to the shape of the 4R rear bumper, flush-mounting these lights puts them at an angle that didn't result in the intensity directly behind the vehicle I was looking for. (Yeah, they're pretty floody, and flush-mounted in the bumper is probably sufficient for any sane person, but I wondered if I could get them to point straight back.) They look a little silly--I may downsize the "loft" off the bumper so they're not so prominent--but they now send light straight back. (Fun project, but dang hard to match all the curves in the stupid bumper!)
I would have gotten rid of the wife and kids and kept the dog and the jeep....
eep:
Hey everyone….new to the 4R world. Sold my dream on Saturday for something a little more family/road trip friendly. Wife said my 2012 Jeep with 1 ton axles, 4.5” long arm suspension with Coilovers topped off with an LS3 motor swap which I’d been building since I bought it new wasn’t good for family trips. ALTHOUGH I WON’T ADMIT THIS TO HER….she wasn’t wrong. It averaged 9.5 mpg on 93 octane and to hold a conversation on the highway you had to basically scream.
Fast forward I purchased a new to me 2021 Venture… with the TRD package??? I’m wanting to keep this family friendly even though I ride my motorcycle mostly everywhere unless there’s heavy rain or ice/snow. BUT after less than 2 days I’ve started a list *. I don’t like the brake dip or the rake and am looking for a leveling kit which will keep the comfortable ride but give that nice stance. Any help would be much appreciated.
Still sad about parting with my mistress but I will say I enjoy being able to talk with my daughter in the back seat while cruising down the highway.
Attached is my old ride
2014 SR5 approaching 350K miles. Changed the engine oil and front and rear differential fluid. I continue to find pieces of the disintegrated fan blade and fan shroud in my work around the engine. Finally, I took a walk around the property to look for antler sheds, but none yet. Still seeing deer with their antlers.
Really? Where do you live? This is very late for deer to still be holding onto their antlers. IN NY where I lived most of my life there were never antlered deer this late in the season.
Washed, waxed and changed to the summer wheels. Some of the remaining foil (black matt) applied to the hood. Because of all the Sahara dust in the air here in Europe, it will stay in the garage for the rest of the Easter weekend.
