Had to replace the radiator on the 5.3L.. For those who don't know there are clips at the very bottom which seperate the bottom so u can pull out without moving fan.. I did not find this out until I bought a clutch fan wrench and removed the fan..

I also started the process of venting my stock hood louvre.. Crappy photo cause it started to rain..

They do make one with a winch cut out more traditional correct? Having those big 37" tires and pushing the 5.3l do you brake a lot of CV shafts etc off roading?

Had to place them in the oven and after a certain point in time I pulled em out used flat head screwdrivers to pry apart. I used easy off oven cleaner to strip the chrome and repainted with bedliner. (Tape off sealed area to reseal) used washers to fill in the light area and mount the pod!!! Then reseal

Your H3 keeps looking better each time you update! Love the new wheels... Fuel rocks. I went with the Hostage, but really like how the Assault looks.

Why go through all that and seal them back up when they are an outdoor etc LED? Why not just remove the head lights and mount a flush pair recessed a little aft? Just wondering and thinking of doing this myself. I like the idea of it using Rough Countries Black Series with only 1920 Lumens so only a little above the legal 1815... That way you would not take much crap from any officers even if they did stop you?

I would imagine that as long as it's angled right they shouldn't care too much, or they might not know a huge difference with the extra 100 lumen. Maybe just speculating. I kinda want to do this too.

I wanted to keep the headlight look.
I thought about having a sheet metal blank made and flush mount but backed out on that.. Overall I didn't want just a big hole from where the headlights set so went with the custom headlight look...

Is there a way to get a good few pictures of how the back of them look / mounting in the plastic? I want to take this challenge on soon. I really like the idea of upgrading this way over the expensive balb upgrade. Plus if it fails put a new one in for cheaper than most of the balbs anyways.
