What have you done to your K2 today?

jpinoy · May 4, 2017

Yup. Gonna see how I like it. I had a similar setup in my TL previously.

Might send them in as well later. Any idea how hard they are too remove?

Those are pretty easy to pop out, if you already have the trim tools. You start from the bottom, pop them out all along the bottom and kind of lift outwards and up to unhook it from the top tabs. How hard was it for you to get the steering wheel trim off. I have the audio controls on mine and saw a video a while back of some guy removing a screw behind those blocks under the steering wheel..

Same here. The rear controls just pop off and there is a small screw back there. After that I started with the bottom and slowly worked it out. Then put it back in just to ensure I could haha

Bilstein 5100s put in the rear today.

Should I make a How-To on that one? [emoji23]. If I can do it, ANYONE can. LOL.

Gotta be careful about just putting pods in there like that for fogs. They blind the shit out of oncoming traffic. Get some rigid sae fogs that are approved for road use and have a nice cut off.

I know they are illegal for daily driving, I don't use them unless I'm offloading but the halos aren't blinding.

I am unfamiliar with these fog lights. Were you able to aim them at all, or are you just stuck with however the fit in there? I'm not knocking your install at all, just wondering. Also, I have seen your truck in a write up before about the air line in your push bar, remind me why it is there? It's a decent idea, where I live, we couldn't get away with that because of the the winter weather... Years ago when I built my '72 K-5 for four-wheeling, I made my rear bumper into a air tank for my tire, so I could put air back when I left the woods.

If you trim the bezel then you can adjust them, on my previous set I had the black bezel and I did trim it to adjust them, you still can't use the lights during night as they are illegal because they blind incoming traffic, only ones that are good for daily driving are rigids dot approved. The hose is coming from my air tank, I had it under the truck before but I had to get under everytime I needed to put air on my trailer tires so I moved it to the front and it worked perfect.

Special thanks to: @Justin101714, @cbrsilv15, @jesus953555, @alexantics for helping me get through it. Never done anything like this before and glad I was able to turn some wrenches and hammer some knuckles! [emoji23]. Off for alignment tomorrow morning!

Was it hard changing out the front shocks? I am planing to change mines out. Thanks.

Fortunately for me, the shocks I bought from a member here had the springs already installed. So I didn't need to rent a spring compressor. It was fairly easy doing it the first time.

3 bolts on the top, 2 bolts on the bottom. Then two more bolts (sorry, I don't know the names of the parts those two bolts were [emoji23]). The axle came down some, pulled the whole assembly off. Took me about 3 hours. No video because I was running out of daylight. But I took some pictures so I knew how it went back. LMAO... just in case.
