die cast zinc housing, incandescent bulb

Looks like retail is $20-30ea

Grotes have a bunch to choose from. I can’t see why Arie can’t get them for Smike.

There’s different models to choose from toward bottom in this link. Chrome and black enamel to choose from if you click on the model

That’s nice

[M4wdFab]

took a good scrubbing but its very nice.  fits right in with the truck and interior "colors" 

mounts welded in tonight.  it slides and back folds down for storage behind.  lost my under seat fold up storage.  they only had cloth montana mini van seats this time at J&J.  probably should have grabbed it anyway, maybe ill get it next weekend for the international.  not sure i like the other seat i got.  looks way new and its a little narrow actually. 


come on PCM!  almost time to push things around and get haggerty pics and plates for both of the rigs!

for sound consideration, I'm running a 3" magnaflow straight through on my buggy now. It's nice and mellow at idle and sounds like a motor at WOT.

Mike,

What did you do for the coolant sender.

I bought jegs gauges.. Which don't fit the coolant port on the head, so I bought the ls sender from auto meter that fits, however it's a different resistance than the jegs sender. Only reason I bought he jegs package was due to the programmable  speedo, and the the fuel gauge was the correct ohms for my fuel cell sender.

So I'm just about to drill the port in the head to 1/4" npt and call it a day. I'm just curious what you did.
