I'm telling you right now, no matter how well you try to seal it, moisture will still get in there. I will wait and see how your are going to see it before I comment further.

thought it would look good in the back. it has a threaded insert on the bottom and a-v inputs on the side. came with a remote, ac cord, dc cord, and a rechargeable battery. also has a digital tuner. all for a whopping $34. sweet


and i took a look at my leafs. i think i've seen pancakes with more curve!

these were so soft, i could compress both with one arm (after they came off)

i was surprised that the ranchos were shorter

this helps soooo much. used it to get the old ones off and the new ones on

bye bye

and of course, the all important sticker. i know it's supposed to go on the shock, but i think it looks better here

i'm happy. fully adjustable rs9000xl's. what could be sweeter? oh, yeah, a matching set in the front! part two tomorrow...

from autoanything.com @ $99.95 each, then 15% off with the coupon code "loyalty" and free shipping, so about $340. and then monroe is having a "buy 3 get one free" deal, so i just need to mail in the rebate

thanks! it seems there's a new package for me every week now. next up is the exhaust

Nice! Looks like its coming along nicely. What are your plans for the .30 cal cans? This is where I got the LEDs for my dash set up. The test bulb should be here in the next few days to see what it looks like.

thanks!
for the ammo cans, not too sure yet. i'll probably re-paint them if i can't clean them up, and use them for tools, supplies, hardware, etc. i've also seen one turned into a water-proof camera box

i've been using autolumination.com, but i might get something from there, too. my big thing is are the led's dim-able. if so, awesome. if not, boo and incandescents it is. thanks for the link


side note: i think i'll wait till the weekend to put the front shocks on

irab88

iTrader: (4)

shocks this weekend, along with a new exhaust system. i'm going stock on this route for the noise level and...wait for it...free lifetime corrosion replacements! oh yeah! aaand it's bolt-on. the pace-setter had some weld spots, and i didn't feel like paying an extra 150 (min) for the install. also ordered some aal's and a new cat. cool.

Jaino240

Build coming along smoothly! I just got my exhaust redone also. Went stock size piping,

but straight, no cat, straight to stock muffler. Not loud at all.

Are you getting an aftermarket muffler?

JDS1992

Nice Muffler looks almost exactly like mine.Lol on mine all the welds are broken from rust, and there is a hole in the bottom of it from when rust ate all the way through.

thanks!
magnaflow cat
oem muffler/tail pipe, straight from the dealer. it comes with free lifetime replacements

mine looks the same on the other side, as well. i saw it while putting on the new shocks. sure sounds cool, though

ammo can idea: portable battery boxes, able to be recharged and interchanged...

feedback welcome

Got the LEDs for the truck. If you wanna do the swap go 6 or 8 on the diode count. I went 4 and its not bright enough.
