I like the [user not found] spec very much as well, dat manual and dat 370Z engine.

It isn't a 370z engine, only somewhat similar.

Z engine revs to 7500 and has quite a few performance goodies

We'll get to compare soon, I just ordered these: https://www.amazon.com/LIGHTENING-DARK- ... 4VFM1?th=1

It's another set that several people on the Colorado forum recommended, and it comes with both High and Low beams. Once I get them and try them for a few days, I may end up buying the Opt7 replacement LED Fogs as well.

They came in on Saturday, and should be straightforward to install. It's just gonna suck to do the passenger side because you've got to remove so much shit to get access to the back of the damn headlight housing, especially if you can't access it from the fender well like you can the fog lights.

I just checked, it does have a vq engine, but a 4 liter, so it's under the vq series. I also didn't know theres a 4 banger version as well, probably in the ROW trucks.

Right but that's like saying the 5.3 truk Ellis is the same as the z06 7 liter vee eight

350Z engine, essentially. Same block, different stroke.

370Z engine is a VHR engine with VVEL. A lot of changes between the 3.5/4.0 and the 3.7.

I need to drive a 370Z someday, doe.

350z initially had a similar engine but then there were tons of changes with the 06+ VQHR engine. Dat revline...

I bought them, they came, and they look like pretty chintzy Chinese garbage. It takes significant tear-up to get to the passenger side headlight, so they're going back to Amazon. It's not a job I want to do a bunch dealing with shitty parts that fail all the time...warranty or not.

I'll buy these if I ever do it...

This is the kit I was looking at.

Also, 1" front leveling kit is probably going to get ordered soon as well.

I just installed mine this morning. While it sounds like a lot to do, it actually wasn't terrible to do the passenger side. It's moving a coolant hose, 1 x20 Torx bit, 5 plastic clips and the bracket the holds the horn. All said, it actually took more time putting the dust caps back on because of the extra length to the harness made it a very tight fit inside them. If I had to do it again, I could probably have both sides done in 30 minutes, if that; less if you leave the dust covers off honestly.

I looked behind the passenger headlight and just went I saw one dude went through the fender liner, and I may go that route, but honestly

So you fit them behind the stock dust caps? Interesting. I'm wondering if there's enough air to circulate to effectively cool?

Honestly, nothing is more frustrating than headlights going in and out. The more I thought about buying chinese crap, the more apprehensive I got. Then I got the things and they look pretty shitty. Not worth the hassle.

Just the spacer kit.
People on the forums say the ride is damn near the same.

I don't really want to replace shocks on a brand new truk.

Yep, was able to get the stock dust caps back on. There should be plenty of airflow still, and I could probably just punch some holes in them to help. I wanted to get to it from inside the fender, but your better off going from the engine bay, you've got more access that way. Going through the fender is only good for the fog lights honestly.

Can you post how you like it after a week or two? While I'd like a tri-fold hard tonneau, it's just not in the cards right now and a soft one is gonna be my best option.
