    MC used to make brackets for the excab but they were having issues with fitment so they don't offer them anymore. No I did not get the sliders they are fixed I stuck it where I normally drive and called it good. I'm tall but I sit pretty close to the wheel, and I'm not an slide it back on road trips kind of person so I'm not to worried. Down the road I may install the sliders for ease of back seat access.

    Thanks dude!

    Well, I just ordered bilstien 5100 adjustable shocks all around. Is there anything I need to know before I install them? Also it says it does not include front top stem bushings, or front dust boots. Is this something I need to buy separate?

    Dust boots you don't really need for the front. The stem bushing you can technically use the ones on your shock right now, but best to just replace them.

    Was just surfing around pirate4x4 and someone was swearing by this spray in bed liner saying it was as good/almost as good as line-x
    Www.spray-lining.com

    Anyone have any experience with it?

    It doesn't look like such a bad deal for how many gallons of the stuff they give you.

    I've used hurculiner and was pretty disappointed.. My prep wasn't done 100% right but the thickness/texture wasn't what I was looking for.

    So today at work I was asking a guy if he has ever used the chemical guys white paste wax for white vehicles and he said yes that it worked good, he told me to hang on just a second and come back with this v32-v38 chemical guys compound and polish kit. Was pretty surprised he said I could just have it because he didn't want it considering the bottles are all full gonna get some jet seal and give it a shot this weekend.

    I have been contemplating it. Didn't know how it would look and didn't want to mess tint up if I decided to take it off. Think I'll go for it now

    Meguiars is good for most people, chemical guys is more for the person who wants to give it that extra hand detail type.

    Yeah I just done the chemical guys paint correction process with meguiars products and i was happy with the outcome the clay bar did a lot of the work though it took me about 8 hours cause the paint was so bad
