    Re: The Creation of The JUDGE!

    Ok - 2 weeks ago - I spent my whole weekend off and Washed & Polished the JUDGE from Top to Bottom!

    Mind You - It hadn't rained or stormed in 3 weeks - Well, the following Monday - Out of Nowhere, a 3-hour thunderstorm pounded us - while at work.

    Before all of this, My Son & I finally got a chance to install the Morimoto XB LED fog lights set.

    Install was easy - basically Plug & Play.

    Late getting the PICS - Truck is Filthy & Bug Splattered!

    Once adjusted - (Not Blinding oncoming traffic) - Level Beam @ 28" - This made a remarkable improvement in Nighttime driving for my OLD Eyes.

    The only time I will use these is during thick fog & snowing conditions - Never just be a douche bag and attempt to look kewl.

    Now to attempt to either find Halogen bulbs to match the 5500K (Pure White) color or Replace the Headlights themselves.

    The JUDGE needs another bath - but I don't have the energy today.

    Here are a couple of pics - Yes, these make an amazing difference over the Cheezy OEM attempt @ lighting.

    I have these exact lights on my truck.

    I guess I’ll be the douche bag because I run mine at night in clear weather, which helps me see better. LOL

    Well, now hold on a min -ya made the older man feel bad!

    Some of these younger whippersnappers - don't even think of adjusting these for the Fog & Heavy Snow conditions - Otherwise blinding oncoming traffic!

    Watersupply - I know you have a ton of common sense & would take the time to do this.

    I know these will much benefit visibility during the night time hours, so running them once adjusted during the night would only benefit others seeing you and what is alongside the road for you to see & hopefully have time to avoid if need be.

    We have many oil field (#$%#) in these parts & there seem to those that feel they have to have the 4'-6" lifted $85K trucks that run these LEDs - as well as Light Bars & PODS going down the highways it's almost to the point of flipping dangerous for oncoming traffic.
    I guess since they are Oil Field - They feel they are above the law! (In These Parts)

    I have no intentions of offending members - It's just my old age - rambling my honest opinions.
    I only feel (Think with Common Sense) - If You Install these - Make adjustments to them - so they can perform the way they were designed!

    ESPECIALLY if you have a Lift of any kind!

    Brother, you didn’t offend me at all.

    I agree with what you are saying about people not adjusting their lights and blinding other drivers.

    Here where I live, they made it against the law to run those bar lights on a public road.

    I’ve had these Morimoto fog lights for a couple of years now with zero issues.

    Looking good @SyN!!!

    These are great lights!

    I had them on my '12 loved them.

    I also had them on anytime my headlights were on.

    Did the look cool?

    Damn right!

    But more so because they filled in the dead area between the front of the truck and where headlights hit the ground.

    Maybe not an issue if you still have the halogen bulbs, but I retrofitted projectors with HIDs, leaving a gap once they were adjusted for my leveled truck.

    Re: The Creation of The JUDGE!

    Covid (Whatever) - (Lab Created Virus) & Moving into this new home - has slowed her progress down 100%.

    After next year's tax return shows up in the account - The JUDGE will undergo a few minor 6.7L breathing treatments.

    Only if the Local Shop is still conducting them - He uses a different programmer - not the MM3 & installs his own tunes.

    Possibly installing his tow tune and another mild HP/TQ tune.

    I'm not confident in my skills to perform this treatment in my garage.

    More than a handful of 6.7L owners (co-workers) visited this same shop during the past few years - running the same equipment that will be used on the JUDGE & there have been zero issues reported to me.

    Until then, nothing will be done to her drivetrain.

    Tires will be the next project - then begin a search for an exhaust - (front resonator & muffler) - I don't want her to sound like OEM - but I don't want that #$^& annoying drone @ 65-85 mph either. (Still, a young man @ heart and love to hear that Turbo & Very Distinct Cummins Sound).

    That's all for now!

    God Bless & Stay Safe in this Totally Dysfunctional Country!

    Not for sure at this point if a new 5th Wheel is in our future - due to the Horrific condition this Country is in - Quality control of these RVs - I have researched, has gone to $hit!

    Common Sense tells me to save this $$$$ & invest it in smarter retirement investments.

    It's very tedious but not what I would call hard.

    This is one of those projects that gets tougher as your truck ages.

    The warmer you can make the vinyl, the easier it will peel into more significant pieces.

    You also need the extra strength goo gone or eraser wheel to remove the residue.

    It's better to have the vinyl warmer and leave more glue behind than risk pulling up a weak spot in the paint beneath it.

    OK, I got the goo gone and those plastic razor blades.

    I have a heat gun and will wait for the weather with no rain and warmer.

    I don't mind the look of black, but it turns white and chalky, and I don't like taking care of it all the time with that dressing.

    Thanks for the info.
