    Its in compressed liquid form. You can air up dozens of times in one charge.
    Also, one tank of liquid C02 has 3 times the air-up capacity of the same amount of liquid Nitrogen.

    He changed the height of the bumper to be flush with the bed specifically for my truck since i dont have a tailgate. If you have a tailgate he would just build it at the correct height.

    Buddy of mine from work who does detailing on the side said he'd buff and wax my truck for 10 bucks :D so got that done today, Helped the sides out A LOT but the hood looks like garbage now. Shiny, but pits and and deep scratches everywhere, gonna get a bug visor I guess :/ Also finally finished with POR15ing and top coating the front half of the frame and inside my plate bumper. Now to get the POR15 off of my face because I'm an idiot and wiped my chin off with a glove that was covered in it :anonymous:

    Yes you'll need to weld them on. They are Total Chaos coil bucket gussets for only 3.4l engines. If you have 2.7 they said there is something on the motor that is in the way of installing.

    You know, I remember now seeing these on the TC webpage but they look so much better installed. It looks like you show the two smaller brackets. Where do the two larger brackets go?
