    How do you like the wax? I like the convenience of the wipe on-wipe off spray waxes, but the finish seems to barely last a week.

    I love it but it is just a maintenance thing in between real waxing. I use it every 3 or 4 days for shits n gigs so it works perfect for a quick shine.

    I did the same yesterday to a 6' pine in the back yard. Now my 3 year old wants me to pull out a 48" diameter white oak.... she's very disappointed.

    Dynatrac ProRock 60 Rear Axle, that is important enough.
    Installed some 1.25" spacers all around, wired up the OTRATTW switches, but need to find someway to integrate them with the dash lights though. Built the Prinsu rack but didn't have time to install it yet.

    Finished washing and waxing, detained all rubber and plastic with 303 protectant, including engine bay and tonneau cover. Cleaned all glass. Ordered new cabin filter and a northstar battery. Also picked up a set of totally restored image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg 16" 1st Gen wheels a while back and will go on after I decide on a tire.

    I advise mounting them on the cab side of the crumple zone. Lifts the hood 4 inches higher than the prop rod holds it. Where as on the advised mounting location it is about 2 inches lower than prop rod has it. Lifts hood either way. I used the instructed lower mounting hole for the top hole on bracket then marked the new lower hole.

    Gotcha. Good to know. Haven't really done anything with them yet (measure, etc), only opened the package. What about the location on the hood itself? You left that the same as the instructions? Do you mind posting a few close up pics of yours?!

    Like many others on here it's one of my favorite upgrades. Measure 4 times before you drill Nuno! Lol Also wrap your drill bit that will be used to drill the hood with tape, leaving 3/16 of bit showing. That will help you from drilling thru the hood.

    Cool. Just wanted to see how yours looked since you mentioned to install it "before" the crumple zone, on the cab side.
