And I got word my new JCR stubby prerun bumper has shipped

It was a good day
I like the compressor mount! Might have to steal that idea. Are they waterproof?
What's going on with that terminal block behind the carpet?

What compressor is that? It looks exactly like the one I have except your gauge is flipped sideways. I got mine at pep boys in 07 for $35 and works like a champ...not the fastest but it gets all four 35's filled to 36psi in about 20 minutes or so.
How did you wire it in to work with a wireless remote. I have been trying to find a place to mount it under the hood but there is not a lot of space in the 12's.
More info please

Yeah the Sylvania's are a good affordable bulb. I use the Silverstars in my fogs, Silverstar Ultras in the head lights. For sure brighter and whiter over stock.

They're number 9145 Silverstars. I don't think they make the ultras for fogs though (if they're too bright it kind of defeats the purpose of fogs I think). I have the "regular" Silverstars in my headlights as well.
They're incredible easy to change out, depending on your front bumper. I have the RR XHD stubby. Just turn the bottom of the mount post (at the light harness) a quarter turn(counter clockwise I believe), pull it out, disconnect the old bulb from the factory wire harness, pop in the new bulb, then push in and quarter turn the other way to mount.
