    Thanks man!

    I'm running the Alpharex Luxx (which is the middle tier approx. $700 set). I'm happy with their performance and OEM quality.

    All wired up. Shop did a fantastic job on wiring the lights. The only problem was the Air on Board switch was faulty so AoB is sending another. Won't be able to get night shots until monday.

    I'd rather do a full engine tear down and rebuild (which I have no idea how to do) with oven mitts on than even wire a single light haha

    So how have the headlights performed so far. Looks like you’ve had them now over a year, any issues?

    I actually really liked them, but I sold them recently. I had a favorable opinion of them except I did not like the DTRL as it washed out during the day. I sold them and got the Morimotos. I feel like the morimoto has a much better looking DTRL.

    I see now that Alpharex has a gen 2 with upgraded DTRL and now having both the Alpharex and Morimoto, I think it's a toss up of what's better. I may try out the gen 2 Alpharex's some point in the future.

    Once the bug hits, it hits hard haha. I've sunk so much money into mine that I could never sell.

    Absolutely, once we get out this weather I'm planning on bumpers so I'll be full mod ahead.

    Starting to question my choice of shops to install my hidden bumper/winch, dual battery system etc...losing that warm fuzzy feeling with Overland Truck garage in Bremerton...lack of response to numerous phone calls and has missed several promised bids for work...would hate to get trapped in a bind here so starting to look again...anyone else you like/trust over here?

    So I just recently moved here (Washington native however) so I'm probably a terrible resource for shop recommendations. I drive by there frequently and was hoping that was going to be a good shop.

    I've ordered stuff from North Ridge 4x4 and I know they have a service shop, but again I've never used them other than their retail store.

    Thanks...I was hoping so too...they did a small “test” job for me and did just fine...the mechanic finished in 2/3s time quoted and quickly adjusted estimate...I’d just like to find a shop that doesn’t act like they’re doing you a favor...and and appreciates someone who is looking to spend thousands with them...oh well...the search continues

    Just replaced the power steering pump at 103,000 miles as it was leaking from the pully shaft. First mechanical repair of OEM engine/drivetrain systems.

    Side note while talking to the mechanic, he mentioned my rear shocks are getting towards the end of their life (I'm still running the OEM Pro ~5160's). Happy moment for me as I've been waiting for justification to move to a Bilstein 8112 setup
