The problem with using a H4 bulb (7" round) with an 80series is the h4 is a dual filament bulb designed to operates as either hi OR low beam. The 80 harness has a low that is always on, then adds a highbeam when selected. Running both filaments on in an H4 overheats the bulb, melting one or both filaments in short order.

LED option then?

 

[FJ40Jim]

so i was thinking to run the low beam 80 bulb in a roundie as single low beam... then run my ipf on the hi beam circuit.......both using the slee harness as the ipf is probably too strong for the stock hi beam harness. ?????? would this work..?

Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to suggest (but obviously not assplaining it well).

 

[bugsnbikes]

sweet- im ordering the slee harness and some roundies ( cibies or hella e-codes)

installed the hood hooks and bullet hinges finally. nice to have a fully operational hood finally ( shouldnt have waited so long).

fabbed up supports to stiffen up the swing out door and the decided to make the door a bit more useful and add some fluids/tool roll storage. i will likely throw in another shelf to hold other odds n ends.

Just saw this for first time, must say in the beginning I thought you had gone mad, but its coming together very nicely. Very cool unique build that is so far outside my patience level. I applaud you for setting out and doing something way off the beaten path and making it look easy to boot.

This build is wicked cool. I love the functionality you can achieve from a blank slate.

started cleaning up the pigs snout today. made a few zigzag brackets to use stock 10mm bolts in frame to reposition tranny cooler a bit. snugged up the snout

 

[bugsnbikes]

more bacon on the grill :

got some badass .134 woven wire mesh and cut it into shape to fill the widened grill.

 

[bugsnbikes]

then used some of the cut bacon bits (piggie grill leftovers) :

 

[2fpower]

What is the spacing of that wire mesh? 1/2?

 

[bugsnbikes]

yep 1/2"

 

[UnderDawg]

Really dig what your doing Bug, you got some great vision and skills.

 

[bugsnbikes]

drilled- tapped and install in progress.... cant wait for the woven wire to rust a bit and gain a little patina/character to fit in

finished up mating the 55 b pillar with the 80 running board area. its a little narrower in that area than the stock 80.
