Thank you Morgan for the tip! It looks A LOT better in the daylight..can't wait till night time. I got the green off the signals, all guages and words and shit, so it should be considerably brighter!

I just gotta figure out my needle situation. I might look into adding 2 LED's pointing down towards the dash to make it brighter so I can see the needles..but this is EXACTLY what I wanted. Yes, I coulda done a better job on the Gas/Temp guage, but its hard to get at without pulling it off.

I looked at the HVAC..anyone know the bulbs to do those?! I looked at them but can't find an LED version.

2004xlmiller · #35 10-23-2011, 09:32 PM

bulbs for the temp control should be the same.

Smasher · #36 10-24-2011, 11:42 AM

Oh really? Well shit I have extras.. I will try them today, and let the people know..incase other people are wondering the same thing.

2004xlmiller · #37 10-24-2011, 11:43 AM

yea they should fit. let us know.

Smasher · #38 10-26-2011, 03:02 PM

They fit! Had to wait till a day where I had time to test it..Little hot spot, but meh..it looks good in my truck and thats all that matters. For best results I recommend taking out the green insert, and sanding off the green paint on the knob inserts.
New light=Black
Old=Blue

I want to look into my cruise control and make it blue..anyone know how? I also found 4 blue LEDs in my room..they are GREAT LED's and a very nice blue. Trying to think of where I can put them..might experiment a bit.

2004xlmiller · #39 10-26-2011, 03:24 PM

you can send the extras to me for the good advice? lol. and talk to buggman or pooleo, theyll help you out with the cruise control and headlight pods

Smasher · #40 10-26-2011, 04:55 PM

Lol I have one extra now! But I kept all the stock bulbs incase an LED one blows up or burns out or something stupid..

Heres the LED's I have just chillin'.. these are (2) 12V's running off a 9V. I have 4 of these, and a chrome LED thing to make them brighter. I do think I will but them at the feet of the driver/passanger..I think.

They are hella bright.

My truck is coming along. And thanks Morgan, I'll ask one of them 2 about those..your full of great tips

What is my truck? I mean..sure there is Edge Decals, but I was once told its not an Edge..

Step side, 2004, 2WD, 4.0L SOHC, 4 door. I ask this, because I want to look at Rims/tires for next year..

Tires - BFG All-Terrain's 31x10.5/15
Rims - 15" of some sort..more leaning towards the Dick Cepeck DC-2's 15x8 with -25(I think)MM offset.

Of course, I can't get any of this until I know the kind of truck it is so I can find the stock offset..and the max tire size. anyone know?

Run the VIN # that'll tell you

S13minus1 · #43 10-31-2011, 06:01 PM

if its torsion bar its an edge

2004xlmiller · #44 10-31-2011, 06:21 PM

because it has all color matched bumpers, torsion bars, and edge decals, as well as the white guages, whoever told you it wasnt an edge is smokin the good stuff. yes you have an edge. and i say get the bfgs with DC2s.

as for stock, the tire size for that should be 235/75R15; offset, check online.

----------

and you can run 31s stock on that, just so you know

Well, I kinda wondered from what I have been reading online. And perfect, that is everything I wanted to know..

I got a price for.. BFG LT31/10.50/15=984$CAD with install and balance. Not sure if that is a GREAT price or not, but my buddy's mom got it for me, and she does all the paper work at a mechanic/tire shop...so I assume she gave me some discounts.

Still need to check with my uncle, the price he can get them for. Most likely buying them in the spring time. and probably going to sell off my rims/tires now.
