Talking Old Man Emu Stabilizer installed today!

Hey guys I installed my OME stabilzer today and WOW what a difference it made! My front end feels much more solid now, especially on rough terrain. Before I was getting a lot of feedback to the steering wheel and now it feels like the tires and steering are not connected in any way! I am very pleased with this mod. Stay tuned for a full write up in the tech section.

Ya that's correct. You could move the OME by hand but it was pretty hard.

Thumbs up It is done

Please take a look in the Tech section, then choose Off Road Enhancements.

Also a new look will be on top of each article page from now on

Joey, nice review, and I will order one someday.

Now if I could just find where I put my pickle fork.
It might be in the silverware drawer.

Not that it's a competition or anything, but I thought for sure that I beat Joey to the punch on something... Maybe next time.

I did beat you on something: Those yellow (and rust) colored shocks are Bils. That's what they look like on the truck, not on your living room floor...

Got my OME on order yesterday, and my Bushwackers are supposed to be shipped tomorrow.

What do you guys think about having them painted a really dark metallic grey, then installed on my white 'runner?
