Looks like a good base to start with, Cheese, looking forward to the updates!

you got that right buddy!!

Hey Cheese, what's the low down on the jeep headlight conversion?

Those look really sharp!

We're right at the point of wiring in the headlamp harness this coming week and the headlights. Just looking at your setup and thinking "man, I gotta do that too!"

Any info/parts list you could share? What's a "brutha" need to pull it off?

CHEESE · 10-10-2009, 05:42 PM

search jeep headlamps in the search machine ands you will see the thread that crawdadfox started!! you will need to get the pigtail mentioned from mopar.

Driveway Dreams · 10-10-2009, 05:49 PM

You may be able to find them in a junk yard. The 07 and up Wranglers all had that set up.

CHEESE · 10-10-2009, 06:11 PM

Sweet

Driveway Dreams · 10-10-2009, 06:27 PM

I have to know how that was "right under your nose" and you didn't know it. I am sending you a PM about an idea for you.

*BGRAFX* · 10-10-2009, 06:52 PM

You keep the bed give me the rest of that truck so I can make crewcab swb. please

CHEESE · 10-10-2009, 07:04 PM

it is already spoken for!! it will be picked apart pretty quickly!lol

smashingchuck · 10-11-2009, 10:18 AM

Are you going to keep the stick? Looks like a good start is that a cab & chassis?

i think im going with a auto! it had a regular bed on it before the previous owne put a flatbed on it! im pretty sure it isnt a cab/chassis

**N2TRUX** · 10-11-2009, 10:08 PM

CHEESE · 10-11-2009, 10:14 PM

CHEESE · 10-12-2009, 09:18 AM

ordered my lamps and pigtail from jeep today!lol the price has gone up $30 due to a number change!! the reason i did this so early is so i dont think about changing up the front end!

**N2TRUX** · 10-12-2009, 10:26 AM

Good plan. Stick with it...

JohnC · 10-12-2009, 06:04 PM

I have some info on the way about a LED 7" round headlamp that will be another option, but not a cheap one!

You can go to ledheadlamps.com to check them out...they do look sweet!

CHEESE · 10-13-2009, 03:34 PM

I checked into them after last years sema show, for my jeep! They do look sik, but pricy!!

joe231 · 10-13-2009, 04:16 PM

I don't see prices on the site....anyone have a ball-park?

CHEESE · 10-13-2009, 04:33 PM

I have an e-mail in to them. I DONT REMEMBER WHAT THE GUY AT THE SEMA SHOW SAID THEY WOULD RUN.

ghettoluxury · 10-14-2009, 12:07 AM

Why are all the crews out west?

Ordering the lamps was a good idea, it should keep you from being persuaded into an 89 front clip by the Hills Guys.

1985-GMC · 10-14-2009, 12:40 AM

Are you sure it isn't cab and chassis? I guess it could just be because of the picture but the rear end just looks narrower, is it a 14 bolt or a dana 70?

**N2TRUX** · 10-14-2009, 08:26 AM

I'm not feeling it on the LED lights. I think the Jeep lights look much better.

JohnC · 10-14-2009, 08:54 AM

I agree Ken. I like the clear Jeep lights better too.
