Not trying to be mean but when somebody is this much of a danger to themselves and/or others behind the wheel of a vehicle, it's time to revoke their licence.

I agree also.
I have nothing to do with that tho. I was just helping a neighbor in need.

Looks to be another led light bar.

Spot/Flood Combo

I know, some of y'all don't like lights. I do.





Next, I'm in search of rear shocks.. My rear shocks are WAY to long.. I want something better than the Rough Countries. One of them is leaking....

Maybe another set of Bilsteins or some Old Man Emu stuff.

I like lights. I just feel that they should be used correctly and responsibly.

After I install the parts I found at the yard on Saturday, and get some more $$ around I think some nice floods on my bull bar will be the next step on the truck. It is a work truck after all. They will NOT be attached in any way to my head lights, except for the part where state law says they have to be inop with my high-beams on, so I need a cut out.

My aux lighting is on a sep switch.. I don't use them on the roads. use them on the farm at night, use them on the trails to where I hunt going in before sunrise and coming out after dark... plans for some expo runs in the spring and I was told I needed better lighting if possible. Plus the light bars are easy to aim down when someone is in front of you.

LEDs make awesome work lights at night on farms to. Being LED, I don't have to leave the engine running.

pics from an iPhone don't help at all... the pics suck. Pics never do lights justice
I'm happy with it. I love it. Notice the light around the headlights... high, low, left, right... the nonhotspot parts don't pick up well on the iPhone camera. It's bright... I love it

Mark me down in the A4LD died club...

was getting on the interstate today, something POPPED, then I had no forward gears... Got pulled over, no reverse either. Park works just fine...lol. My brother came and got me and I got our truck/car hauler and got it home. It's resting on my car hauler right now... awaiting a trans rebuild (so it seems so far...)

doing some research, see what I wanna do. It will stay automatic.

I will never understand the devotion some people give to a contraption as unreliable as the automatic transmission.

Anyway, if you insist on keeping a torque converter try to find a standalone controller for one of the later Bordeaux transmissions and put that sucker in instead.

Might also be worth looking into upgrading the wiring to OBDII and just putting a 95/96 4R55E in it.

I just don't care to have to drive a manual around all the time or on the trails.

The only time I don't care for driving a stick are the days when it feels like someone is digging around in my right shoulder with one of those survival knifes. And then I just don't want to drive at all.

I do like auto for some things, yes, but I just don't like not being in control. I think my bigger problem with them is that people want the computer to do all the work but then they want to complain when it doesn't do exactly what they want.

Like people have said, if.it.needs a rebuild, get the heavy duty rebuild kit.

If you find something better then the crappy auto we have in them now, let me know, mine is also acting up, when it's cold out, it take it a minute to engage drive, then it holds 1st till I hit 3000rpms.

and good luck.
