    Never liked those things. Never angled enough towards where I want to see.

    Im going to do what my Dad did and run the URD gauge mount with a ultra gauge or scangauge in between it.

    Yeah they aren't my favorite either but I don't want shit in front of my gauges and I don't run a scan gauge (can't be downgrading haha). At least these are aimed well at my face unlike some I've seen.

    they don't block the gauges really. Thats whats nice. Make the aftermarket gauges sit right where the needles are for the speed and tach. Still see any warning lights or whatever easily too. Pretty nice setup and is easier to see your stuff.

    Ulta would fit there as well.

    I thought about it, but it is really visually displeasing to me, I really don't like shit in front of other shit I have to look at regularly. This was the lesser of two evils for me. Besides we all know this is temporary, I'll either blow the engine or get bored and get something to make more power and need more gauges

    Mike, I have a bunch of lugs for the stock wheels you can have. Let me know how many you need. No seperate hub covers tho I do have one of them 5 spoke wheels with a cover on it that I would part with.

    How do you think I feel. Going from those to the e-rated bricks I'm on now.

    IMO, shock valving needs to be based on the side wall stiffness of your tires.

    I'll let you know if it should be, only $100 for a fix up if that's the case. But I really liked how it felt.
