    Got that one off Amazon. They have all different configurations to suit your needs.

    I ended up using 7018 3/32 rod, that stainless was too skinny.

    Im looking forward to hearing your feedback on the Solo kit. Are you going to run 8" shocks or 10" shocks? I know you can run 8" shocks in the stock coilbucket but not get the full amount of travel available.

    Yeah, Solo recommended 8" so that's what I got. I'm sure I'll be plenty happy with everything when all is said and done. I'm just going to gusset the oem buckets.

    Do you have any details on the front and rear facing camera setup? I assume its kinda a diy dashcam setup?

    Intake, exhaust, lift. Typical stuff.
    Josh, what is the IC piping kit you bought? I like the look. I have a flex-a-lite fan to install and I can tell right away my IC pipe rout isn't going to fit.

    I bought my IC kit from cx for about $100. It's a 2.5" black aluminum kit. You can ask cx and they will change up couplers or j pipes, 90°, etc. to whatever you need. A piece or two I have by my MAF was my old CIA that I cut up. Only did that because i didnt have the exact pipe i needed and modified to make what i had work. Just ask cx, they will make it work for you, and they didn't charge me any difference as long as you are swapping coupler for coupler or what not you know.

    For the cameras just look on Amazon or ebay. They have all different sorts, front only, front and rear, different mounts, etc., mostly plug and play. Super easy install. Took me a couple hours. I just tucked in the wires around my trim pieces. I still have to hard wire it into my dash, for now it is just running off the cigarette plug in. The one I have has its own battery too for when the vehicle is off.

    I got really comfortable with my welding skills over the weekend. With my bike being my most reliable means of transportation right now since my truck is still in retard mode and my 4Runner needs a u-joint, I was taking out one of the baffles in my bike's muffler to make it louder/ breath better and I caused a 3" crack to run down the pipe as I was hammering down on the muffler. I don't think it's possible for anyone to make a perfect bead with a stick welder, but no leaks at all. That's a shame your cat wasn't thicker metal or we would have done a good job for sure.
