    One suggestion, do not use Fel-Pro. Use OEM gaskets where you have Fel-Pro listed. Also might as well do cam and crank seals, probably best for OEM on that as well.

    I already order it.

    The Aisin timing cover kit is basically the cam and crank seals...same shit as OEM.

    I already have a 40" Onx6 hi-power for the future Victory4x4 roof rack I'll be buying.

    oh, and XL80's for ditch lights and a set of Squadron pros and S1's hanging around too...gotta find a use for them.

    I will apologize though I totally missed it when I said you should get Kings for the 460 and she said it’s her vehicle. I should have told her our GX is my wife’s daily and it has Kings.

    Wait... You caught that? Lol I actually don't know anything on that front, but this wiring harness is BEAST. I just figure that there's got to be something in the pipeline that warrants the gauge of that harness.
    I absolutely dig the lightbar look as well. And that Grom... If I didn't look like a monkey humping a football I would own one.
