    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.

    it is. Its a marketing thing. Plus they make products that don't last as long so you have to replace all the time. All about money.

    Just like second gens they can't check their trans fluid lol. We can idk I'm a stick. Look at all the shit they got in TSBs and Recalls. Even tho he had a massive one but still. All that tech and they'll have issues in the future dumping those things thru water crossings. In the mean time 1st gen chive on

    More than likely, yes. The shrouds too. Just going to put everything together like it is to make sure I don't like it unpainted better.

    Very nice setup. Let me know how that CBI works out. I'm looking at that one as well with the swing out and can holder.

    You getting much rub with those 285's?

    Only rub right now is at full turn to the left on the frame. Its not much and doubt I'll worry about it. It will rub when I take it off-road at the pinch weld. I will be doing the pinch weld mod soon to make sure that doesn't happen.

    I should probably start a build thread :)

    Grey and black wire on very corner of plug, the wire is wound up among all the others but it only runs about a foot. I just cut the tape around the wires until i could spread them apart and pull the end out.

    Got my SS clutch line in the mail.

    Ordered a boost converter for a light bar I'm building.

    Debating on offering the second gens a powder coating deal until I need new tires.

    AND debating which 255/85 to get.

    STs or BFGs?

    40" I'm sure it'll look a little taller once I pick out some wheels and get some air in there.
