Jesse J Posted November 29, 2021 Author Share Posted November 29, 2021 Finally earned my big boy pants yesterday! pull was really smooth only took like 2 hours (granted I had a lot of the work already done) What really took forever was bolting it to my stand that took like 4. Had a blast doing it. Probably going to strip it down and clean it all and leave it for a couple months-years while I prepare the cashflow for it. I did recenty get hired at home depot 15$ hourly!

Jesse J Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 dang. Well I a while back I really liked the idea of LED lights in the back but surfing the web I havent really liked anything I have found.

89 MJ Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I've seen on the KeyParts FB page that the new lenses are going to be coming out in January. Now, here's hoping that they are priced reasonable. Jesse, if you aren't opposed to JK taillights, Dzimm makes housings for them. They look pretty darn good, IMHO.
