So you just flipped them? No grinding? Just re drilled the locater pin hole?

Ok so I received the lights from octane lighting on ebay today. They look very nice but they are the plastic buckets. I don't mind though. I also got plug ends so I can cut off the bullet military connectors and splice this plug in. Overall very happy with the lights. I will be picking my truck...

Yes I agree turning them around does seem to much. I also don't understand some pictures have the locator pin centered and others do not. I want to keep it simple and just remove material from the original perch. When I get my truck in two weeks I'll put a magnetic degree finder on the front on...

I have read the entire thread but no one really posted pictures of the finished result. I could make a 1/4" flat shim very easily. I could also make a 1/4" wedge shim as well. But I think I'd rather take the stock perch and measure mark and grind out what is needed to make it right.

Ok he talks about a 1/4" shim..... is that a wedge shim or a flat shim?

So let me get this straight..... you guys are jacking the truck up, taking the shim out flipping the perch 180*, re drilling the pin hole and bolting it all back together? Does any one have pictures of their finished shim before installation?

Ok so I quick drew this on my note 3. Now of course the 24v signal wire would come from the old push button starter and go into the battery terminal on the ignition switch. From there I would run the 24v signal to the relay from the accessory side eliminating the need for the 12v override relay...

Bushings showed up today. I have been off of work the past two days so I haven't worked on anything. Hopefully will tomorrow.

Isn't that the point?

That's what I was figuring the relays where for. That's a good idea. I'm going to be putting a keyed ignition switch in the truck instead of the push button starter switch so I can use the acc side of the switch to power the relay for the 12v system. I'm going to be using a Ford 3g alternator...

A few questions here what is the relay setup for? If I add the 12v alternator which I plan on doing can I use the vehicle ground for the 12v system? Wouldn't that interfere with the 24 system?

Count me in guys will be picking up my m35a2 in a few weeks. Hoping to have it bobbed by then. I will not be camping since I only live about an hour from Rausch Creek. Used to be my second home when I had my jeep.

I'll bring my m35a2 down for the day if I have it in running conditon. I'm hoping to Bob it as soon as I get it. Which will be in a few weeks.

Yes, because if I decide to go higher later on down the road I'm going to make lift brackets like you have. I have spring saddles made already with 1.5" lift built in already. They will get welded to the axle. Then I'll use appropriate lift blocks hopefully only measuring out to 2" or so. I have...

The problem I'm going to have is I'm using m105 springs so my traction bars will be narrower then the springs which I'm hoping helps with articulation. Idk

Yeah I do too.... I have my tubes cut at 60" maybe that's to long.

How long did you go with your tubes?

Well my heim joints showed up today. I ordered them off eBay came from California. they are ruff stuffs joints 7/8" to 3/4" with 5/8" misalignment bushings. $75 shipped for the pair. I'll make the mounts on Monday. Now thats a heim joint

Lol so did I. I ordered the 7/8"x3/4" heim kit and I got energy suspension bushings for the rear. I'm going to start out long I cut the tubing at 60". I also started to cut the front pieces for the mount. I'm going to use 3"x3"x3/8" angle and 1/4" plate that will mount to the frame. I should...

So I guess the two things to take away from this is the longer the better and go under the axle and not on the top.
