    6 inch Douche Bag lift...what else do I need?
    Well, I bought the parts and put them on the truck, so I guess I "built" it. I do have the busted knuckles and welders burns to prove that...

    Yea definetly. Use a 2x4 vertical on the jack, there's a small sweet spot to lift the body next to the bushing

    70's and sunny is the perfect weather to be out wrenching!!

    First up was getting the LED bar ready to mount and that meant some work with the grinder and some vinyl..

    One layer of vinyl..

    9333127f4254ec3c65b4237322b70977_0bdc887f71d6cac39e47383c8e7c7c3e43540fe0.jpg

    That's better :cool:

    Mounted and wired!!

    29d310adbe0558ee036c7a794575a8a8_c5351c260eb5417b3d70194e73c2d58b2c507ac6.jpg

    One of the fogs got some condensation..

    0f2b88bdbf3acfd35259e981c6d1d0cd_d1e9b52ef904b78ac0517a9791f059aee4f28ca3.jpg

    Next, the bushings..

    d8f3b9f9bce3ac537ba58dfa3bdc9711_6dc1de37e08f8e7373d48d5b7e62d66b5b58a1af.jpg

    What a pain in the ass..the bolt was just not lining up on the drivers side so it ended up taking 25-30 minutes for that one side..passenger side took 3 minutes..so frustrating. But HOLY SHIT is this a band for buck mod!! I drove it for about 15-20 minutes after installing them and it makes SUCH a difference. The front end is much more stable and it even raised the front up a bit! Thanks @Chux!!!

    New sticker..

    All ready for the next adventure!!

    Tonight is the rehearsal and dinner. Then going to see an AWESOME cover band!! One week til the big day!!
