Let's see or hear about them OBS mods!! Big or small post 'em all. Whether you ghetto chromed your valve stems or patented a functioning flux capacitor I wanna know about it!! Lifts, swaps, conversions, wheels, tires, injectors, fuel, oil, turbos, chips, tuners, intakes, exhaust, bumpers, suspension, lights, electrical, mechanical, interior, exterior, audio, visual, *******, hillbilly, hitech, lowtech, home built, store bought, big budget, no budget, low budget, bolt on, stick on or spray on, this is your chance to brag some about what you did that made you proud...or not so much if it failed miserably but let's see or hear about the fails too!!

Don't matter if you did it this morning or ten years ago. Even if you have already posted your mod elsewhere and you think everyone knows about it, post it up again!!

If you glued a 12' CB whip to the middle of your hood and you think that makes your truck worthy of a cover shoot for Diesel Power Mag then I'm talkin to you too!!

No rules other than don't be mean and make fun of someone else's contraption. If it makes the pilot smile then it's a cool mod, roger? Having said that, chatter it up!! Questions, comments, concerns, compliments and condolensces welcome!!!!!!!!!!

If you are gonna post pics, make them detailed close ups of whatever you did that blew your hair back. Don't tell everyone that you installed a fuel pressure gauge then show a glam shot of your truck from 30' away. That's what the OBS pic thread is for. Get in there and show the nitty gritty!

Here's one of mine:

5" homebuilt blow pipe. I guess that would be "audio"? :hehe:

how hard is it to do that climate control from a crown vic?

If you can solder, and have patience, its not real bad. But the hard part is finding all the parts, and there is ALOT of modification involved.

Roger that. I'm hopin Bill will bite on this one too and represent the boys from North of 49. I think you threw the gauntlet down to him with your first round of pics :hehe:

:hehe: Yeah probably did. :hehe:

Here is what I got today, whats nice too is the bezel has a removable faceplate to the right of where the Diesel Warning lights are, so I can fab up a nice switch panel and put it there, with NO HOLES DRILLED!:thumb:

Pulled it out of a Bronco, and gonna either black out part of the switch, or leave it as is. Use them for Reverse lights, or Aux lights. There is a nice heavy gauge wire feeding in and out of the switch which makes it perfect for large lights. But if using a Relay, it wont matter lol

Whats nice is, it lights up with the instrument lights, and will dim with it too, and has an indicator light as well, and looks super factory

Garrett, are the signal mirrors heated as well?

Thats a big N-O. You can send your mirrors to MUTH, and they will install a signal, and heat for you, but the signal wont be like the bronco style. They will be a single row, bigger arrow found on most vehicles, typically the chevys.

I emailed them, and they can retrofit them... for a price.

"In order to quote a price for the mirrors we would need to know exactly what you would be sending to us. We would also need to know if you are looking at unheated or heated mirrors. A typical aftermarket kit is $219.00 for unheated and $269.00 for heated. The price would not be less than this.

Sincerely,

There is a black backing plate behind the mirror glass, so you'd have to drill it out as well. AND dont figure on getting the glass out in one peice cause your gonna break it, its a MOFO to get out.

20's belong on 35" tires or larger, and 18's on 33's - 35's and 16's or 17's on anything smaller than.
