I swapped out the new short for the original long stud isolators.
I installed the old washers behind the isolators to give them a smidge more clearance

Reading this made me revisit my Short stud issue with my Trucklite LEDs. I dug out my old headlight buckets and harvested the isolators. I will move the beast outside in the morning to see if I can effect an isolator transplant.
finally took it offroad and ran the transfer case through the ranges.

I wonder what they are from.
