    That freeakin awesome!! I think I have pondered all of those mods as serious objectives, but of course I havent gotten shit done. except the satoshi, and I threw an unmounted extinguisher back in the back too.

    I definitely want to do the lightbar. thats tight. wiring anything will not be easy, but I got to learn sometime....
    Looks tight mang!

    BTW where did you score the lock for the console?

    Got the lock at True Value. It took a bit of time to find the lock and then a bit of fiddling around with it to get it to mount just right. but it works really well. cost all of 2 bucks, or so, and about an hour (hence the fiddling).

    He's got Sea Foam in it. Its supposed to smoke like that.

    Awesome Johnathan! I always loved the lights behind the Satoshi. That is the one reason why I would do a Satoshi. I always liked the look of them but its a shit ton of work just for looks. The lights protected behind it on the other hand...

    Johnathan, I dig those lights, i was thinking about doing some for myself, too. Did you fab the bracket?

    Abe -- I love those days. I've done the exact same thing... I've even had my wife bring her car for an oil change and detail after the truck was done.

    That's what I have. 1.6" Eibachs, 5100's at 0.85", a 1/2" top plate on the driver's side, and a 1/4" top plate on the passenger side. I love it. It rides very nice. However, I'll be switching my suspension out soon. I'm going to OME shocks and 886 coils for the front bumper I'm making.

    Sweet!! That is the set up i am going to do with the diff drop kit. How much height did you get out of it up front compared to stock??

    I have the diff drop too. The spacers give about 150% of lift so the 1/2" spacer actually gives about 3/4" of lift and the 1/4" spacer on the passenger side gives about 3/8" lift to compensate for the lean. The combined lift of 1.6" + 0.85" + 0.75" = 3.2" in theory. I didn't quite get that much. It was actually got about 2.75"- 3" of lift. With heavy skid plates and age, it has sagged probably down to 2.5" or so.

    Yeah I made the brackets. It is actually two pieces. It mounts using the bolts for the hood latch among others. Only had to drill one hole in the passenger side near the light to bolt it up. Got a blue sea fuse block and 100-300 Amp fuse on the way so I can wire and ground them. Plus I'm gonna put a couple other ones on the front that should look pretty cool when I'm done.
    By the way all....I accidently got an extra 100-300 Amp fuse if anyone needs it. Other than that ill be sending it back as soon as i get it. Pm me for the details.
