Your the man.

Hey man I dont think the gatlings are going to work with the matxhbox. I have one projector mounted in the fog, but the way the shroud flairs up and out on the projector, the shroud will not clear the fog light lens. Need to get my hands on some eyelid shrouds I guess.

No sir the way I mounted the shrouds is you have to dremel the inside lip out to the main supports so it can slid over the entire projector then cut around the entire base until you have the perfect fit those mounting screws should go in the garbage

Good deal. I was contemplating going that route. I think I will need to order another new gatling, mine is pretty hacked up from test fitting. Problem is looking on TRS's site, I did not see the shrouds offered for the matchbox.

I thought you said you had the eyelids and never tried the gatlings.

The mounting is the same though the only reason I hate the eyelids is the upper peice protrudes out and has to be cut off text me a pic of yours

Gotcha. I got a little carried away with the free hand dremeling. I think the next one I will make a card board template of the bowl outline and trace it on to the fog light.

I also had to bore out the mounting holes on the projector to fit the 4mm bolts. I could not find any 3mm stainless steel bolts, not a huge deal though.

If you were closer I'd help you build some.
Got talents? Work for hire? Let me check out pricing for lamps and projectors, but PM me if you might have an interest.

Nice recover Porkins. :thumbsup:

I have three tires that are consistently losing air in the cold weather. The soapy water trick didn't help. I replaced the Schrader valves yesterday. This morning one tire was down to 10 PSI but I found the valve was loose also. Probably my fault. Those things seem so delicate I didn't want to over tighten and mess it up. After work will be the test because my truck sits outside for 8 hours.
Replace the valve stems. They crack from cold and if you get water in them it's even worse. Unless you really need longer ones, get the shorties. If you do it yourself it also reseats the tires, so you can blow out any debris that might be allowing hairline spaces between rim and tire bead. You'll need some higher pressure to reseat the bead. Avoid moving the tire since so you keep the tire/wheel balanced as much as you can.

Hey Swede - what's your time zone compared to Greenwich? If I remember you guys are just +1 or +2 from GMT.... Is that right? I'm in California, USA so I'm GMT -8 (PST, GMT -7 for daylight time)

SnowBlazer said:
Do you guys just put mid grade in your TBs? I put premium in because it's the same price as mid grade at Costco.
87. They don't have midgrade at my Costco, just 87 and 91. No need to up it unless it calls for it. There is no benefit to it.

I don't remember exactly how, but you can turn off notifications for individual forums. I would turn it off for any of the whoring or games forums. Tech of course leave on, but no need for whore replies.

145? I have about 250 every couple of hours. It stops at 250.

No big deal, you're new. And okay, sounds good, make sure your nose is touching the wall.

I rarely look at my notifications anymore. If you have tapatalk, turn them off and read every post and you won't miss a thing, that's what I do.
