Agreed best results are with relays and good uprated halogen globes, that way you improve the low beams without blinding others and improve the hi beams. Can always augment with a light bar or foggies.

Well did a few things the pass couple weeks since work has been shut down. I found an awesome deal for a new windshield last week so I had that installed. My original windshield had a huge crack on the passenger side. I also found a local junkyard that had the parts I needed to repair the damage from the accident. Nice thing about the place was that they did all the pulling of parts for you. I already had a used rear bumper I purchased a while back but it was an aftermarket bumper. Fitment wasn’t the best and it didn’t have the outlines for the rear tire carrier. The donor vehicle had the oem bumper, bumper support and the small brackets that hold the mud flaps. I paid 200 bucks to a backyard body shop mechanic to fix the rear quarter. I tried to pop out the dent myself but the metal was stretched so it would just pop right back in with minimal effort. He also fixed the small dent on my front fender. My rivnut tool and drill bit also came in the mail today so my next project is to tackle the rear tire carrier. I’ve probably read over the tire carrier post a million times but I’m still a little nervous to drill into the quarter panel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep, will be fine. A very familiar sound to people who teach others how to drive a manual transmission. I had an easy one when teaching my nieces, my 85 300zx, but still had the familiar clatter and stall. It gets more interesting when it happens in the middle of a left turn and the niece is panicking while watching the lifted F350 aimed at you at 50 mph. Keeping calm helps a LOT to get the excitable girl to restart and get the car out of the way. I had the job of teaching mine and my sister's kids how to drive because it takes a lot to get me excited. Out of them all, only my daughter appreciates low range and is enthusiastic about using it.

I am still going to work 5 days per week. I am an auto mechanic so one of the "essential" workers. So after I put in my 8 to 6 day, I go home and read, sometimes watch something and sleep. Utah is one of the few states that is still allowing people out if they keep things reasonable. Our governor says the demographics make a one size fits all mandate unreasonable. So it was left to the counties and cities to decide how much they are going to limit our freedoms. So if I am not working on my truck on Thursdays ( one of my off days) or doing some other chores after being lazy and sleeping in, I am able to isolate myself in my truck and drive around. The last 2 Sundays I managed to stay in until noon, then I went out and drove up a local canyon into the mountains. Played in the mud and snow a bit, burned off some ammo doing some target shooting, picked up about 40 pounds of spent brass (folks here are getting a little stir crazy and the ranges are either closed or have lines, so they have discovered the fun of outdoor shooting on public land) and generally relaxed. I have reaffirmed that .40 S&W is a round that simply doesn't excite me. I need to find a 357 Sig barrel for my Sig P239 and see what that does. Still have ammo for the 9's, 380's, .45 ACP, .45 Colt, and .22's, even the .223. But for the most part, been having just as much fun with the lowly .22 rimfires as I do with the center fires. The ammo is cheaper too, so it is mostly just the little ones that are getting used.
