    Yeah I know it's not perfect but 100% better than my previous LED bulbs.
    This was taken in a completely pitch black shop. So any and all scatter light is seen. When I'm on the road or in a parking lot, the scatter light is soaked up by all other lights.

    These were fun. Total Chaos bed stiffeners. I might be tripping but I feel like I've noticed a less jiggly ride over bumps as well.

    I was planning on cutting it to make it shorter, there was no need after I used the m8x1.25 die.

    Man that Carbon fiber looks good! I assume those are parts you bought not wrapped.

    That is 100% fake. The shitty stickers on the gear shift area are "carbon look".

    Well I know it isn't real. That cost way to much. I wasn't sure if it was a whole piece be bought like that or if he warpped it with an overlay lol Then I noticed the radio bezel isn't factory. Still love the look of CF even if it isn't real

    After probably 7 years of wheeling with it loose, I finally mounted the hi-lift to where it isn't so much of a deadly projectile.

    Looks great. Did you use the Cerakote product? I just ordered that and hope mine will turn out as nice.

    That's what I currently have and mileage isn't that bad. I average 17 hwy with a lift, some armor, roof rack and rtt. If I am driving backroads with a speed limit of 55 so average of about 60ish I have seen an average of over 19 mpg. I just got my 285/75s so hopefully I don't see a major decease after installing them.

    I replaced the spring dampeners in my old man emu dakar leaf springs (about 5 years old). HUGE difference so far. I can't believe how long I drove with that embarrassing squeak. I hope the new ones stay quiet

    I wanted to add some bass to my sound system but I didn't want to pull out the plastic shelving system behind my back seats. I looked at the all in one 10 inch sub boxes. Kicker seems to be the best but a little pricey. I'm not trying to win any sound competitions. I looked around and ended up buying the Cerwin-Vega 10 inch one. Reviews had me a little nervous as they varied on how much sound/bass it produced. I will say it provides MORE THAN ENOUGH. I thought about mounting it under the seat as that is what they seemed to be designed for but without adding a spacer to the seat bolts the box is too high to fit. I do notice a little rattle from the plastic of the shelf system vibrating against the metal. Later on I play to add some sound deafening mat back there. For the price I am very happy with the outcome.

    Here is the Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M5LBQTS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
