    Maybe I’ll call em up or something, I’ve never bought new tires, just new to me, but I guess a warranty would be a good thing to have.

    The relocate will help you maintain braking power but I'm talking about the length of your rear brake line, with a lift it is usually near the end of its rope so to speak...

    See how tight the brake fluid line is in this pic...

    With no armor or winch or a constant load of some kind then yeah I'd say they're gonna be strong... really strong.

    Uhh, hmmm I'd ask SDHQ if they have any in stock. I got mine from Trail-Gear way back in the day, but you may be able to also get one locally from a company that makes hydraulic hoses, theres one on Baseline near Power I think

    Boy changing the Blinker Fluid is fun!

    Not as bad as BMW's, those pesky Germans make it hard to change. No wonder you never see BMW's using their turn signals.

    In all seriousness, I'm blacking out all the plastics. So the whole entire has to go.

    New steering wheel too!

    I've had a 3" lift in the rear for almost 2 years now and done countless wheeling trips and I don't have extended brake lines...I know I'm pushing my luck though. Don't be like me. It's on the list of things to do.

    Git down to Costco and buy that nice Arcan 3k jack they sell, great price and it lifts high. Mine's perfect for the truck and cruiser.

    I was thinking about getting 600s or maybe just some skid plates, rock sliders, and a winch
