As if my day wasn't going badly enough as it is, the cops stopped me in Manhattan on my way home from work and f#@king impounded my e-bike. So I took the train the rest of the way home and when I got here I could not get the broken key out of the ignition. FML I need a drink

I saw they're illegal in the city, but it was never enforced. Just another way for the city to grab your money.

Apparently the mayor stepped up enforcement in 2016 after outcry from dumbass pedestrians who like to walk in bike lanes. Technically they're only illegal if the bike has a throttle. Peddle assist e-bikes are not illegal. Unfortunately my bike has both a throttle as well as pedal assist. I guess I'll remove the throttle.. when–or if, I ever get it back.

Sorry buddy. I could never drive, forget about living, in the city.

What we got there?:D

Depo projector housings, Anzo bumper housings and Auxbeam F-16 LED high beams. My DDM tuning HID low beams are on the way so for now I just left the ****** halogen bulb that came with the housings in there.

The aftermarket grille is a real *************. I mean, it doesn't look too bad, but it's flimsy construction and none of the clips lined up like they're supposed to.. The whole thing is basically being held on just by the center bolt. I could modify it to make it fit better but this is just a temporary solution. Honestly, I can't really expect much more for the price (I think this grille was $70 on eBay), but I'm planning on making a custom grille a little later on. I definitely like this look better than stock though.

Also, my truck is still completely filthy because I still haven't had time to take it to the wash.. so I used some soapy warm water and paper towels to at least wash down the nose while I was swapping out all of these parts.
