Had to change the front hub assembly on the truck expected it due to the old gals age, but was dreading it.
Before On my old dodge it was 3 hours of hammering to break them loose.

On this truck i expected the same issue as the truck is now 20 years old.
Anyway a friend told me to knock out a couple studs and use large bolts to jack them out.
Shouldnt take long with a couple wrenches.

( light bulb) :laughing:wrench on the nut and impact wrench on the bolt.

:hushed:damn near crapped my drawers when the hub literally jumped out.
Between using two jack bolts it only took about 20 seconds to pull it.
Well i guess this old dog learned a new trick.

That’s cool. I’ve looked at a few Pintos for a project as I think it would make a fun one.

I think there is a 2023 tax credit so waiting to order next year.

A model 3 update is coming, but I don’t know when it’s hitting production, not sure if I can wait that long (is250 is a ticking lemon bomb)

There is they got the free gov money again (not 100% on if they source enough of battery for it but at least 3500)

Guys, I just want to sit here and admire well engineered products here

Morimoto consistently makes amazing lights. Never have I had a better engineered product with the ability to actually help your installment. Not just OE replacement, but they add a few helpful things that make those quality of life improvements on the price tag worth their price

Recently my fog lights got completely and utterly destroyed and shattered by the rocks and the salts and the typical rocky mountain state horrendous extreme winter conditions


This is just a two-banger which has the spotlight in the middle and the very beautiful, beautiful, slick clean aimed beam…

It’s meant to keep it low but long distance and have the spotlights in the center of the road without blinding other people with a singular wavelength of light. And I can already tell you it’s going to snow really heavily this weekend and I’m going to be very happy to see their performance pan out

What’s even cooler is they have this little alignment indicator and they show you the shape it’s supposed to be no matter the vehicle since the 3-in fog light is pretty standard. And if you get that shape perfectly right, you will be within. Compliance and not blinding anybody and that’s guaranteed. They have all the approvals needed on it too as well. So anybody who says that these particular LED bulbs are blinding people. They’re shooting smoke up your ass. It’s also a really nice quality of life improvement. Aiming headlights sucks and it usually requires a nice flat spot with a wall that you can back away from the 35 ft and get them properly aligned

The spotlight beam is a square hotspot beam with a hemispherical bottom round flood in the center

Then the long range square beam that’s ultra wide that allows you to also use your fogs to see animals and any other dangers on the sides of the road Are these very intense Very elongated rectangular focused beams

I swear I’m never doing business with anyone but

Yea, I was thinking about picking up an older medium duty, or heavy duty and just register as a recreational vehicle. Decided on this as I like having my truck anyway. And why pull the truck when the truck can pull the rig. Although, I do really want a Super-C one day like this.

That is one of the reasons i carry a plugging kit in the truck.
I coat the plug with rubber cement before inserting it.
That and a small 12 volt compressor.
The only time my tires see a garage is when im getting new ones.
Plugging kits are not expensive and darn cheap insurance to have onhand.

Fog lights should be aimed no higher than your low beam lamps.

(I used to part time in a garage and they specialized in headlight adjustments)

Where people get the idea that they help the driver see better, Ill never know!

Two parts of a focused beam from a lamp are the Umbra or center beam and the Penumbra ( outer beam)

While the Penumbra is much dimmer it shows well in a fog to alert an oncoming driver without blinding them that you are there ( providing their driver education has taught them correctly) because it is spread out more.
The Umbra bolsters the low beam lamp by providing illumination from a slightly different angle.
Driving in a fog or heavy snow its difficult for people to remember to keep the headlights on low beam, otherwise they risk being glare blinded by their own headlights

Fog lights are better if they are a different color

Yellow is the best visible color in a fog.

While they look cool blue, green, red or purple do not show well in a fog and may be illegal in some states because of the distraction factors
Given the fact that people rarely obey and follow the speed limits, its a double whammy when distractions occur.

Yeah you see a lot of that in police cases
But you see a lot in just plain driver stupidity and drug/ alcohol impairments

Yup they are definitely solidly below my lows… confirmed the Calibration on a machine for sure.

Actually there is a good bit of color science behind this. The catch is you either need to be in the two wave lengths that are “scotopic” in human vision or you must strive to be as single wavelength as you can manage. The pure scotopic color is cyan at 507 nm however the scotopic plutopic peak crossover point is 565nm which is yellow. Thus yellow is an incredibly good choice especially since yellow alerts our brain better even at a lower perceived intensity.

The short of the science here is that a singular wavelength refracts and glares less which doubles as being beneficial to oncoming drivers not getting their retinas obliterated by the fogs. There’s a reason you (before LEDs) saw large snow plows have sodium lamps on them (low pressure not high pressure like old street lights that were pre LED).

Outside of that fogs aren’t supposed to massive increase your vision as much as provide a wide… low and (sometimes) focused spot beams that casts that singular wavelength out.

Human vision is funny like that. That said veering to far in headlight beam color outside 4300k to 5000k color wise is actually quite hard on the eyes so I totally agree pink blue and all that crazy stuff is just useless and I’ve never understood why people would purposefully hurt their vision

Yup spot on man. I wish more people understood this. This is why by law in a lot of states high beams disable the lows and fogs even though they are seperate LEDs. Yet so many people some how think high beams means further. No stop that its even worse for the incoming drivers
