    Wheeler's five pack leaf springs, Bilstein 5100s (rear), front tint, windshield top tint, Century Camper Shell/Cap/Topper, Wade window visors, Wade bug shield, cassette adaptor (so I can play Slacker Radio via my phone!), Sunday Blues with Dar sticker, Wounded Warrior Project sticker, no NRA sticker 'cause I don't wanna advertise ;-)
    FINALLY ordered my Wheeler's five pack leafs and 5100s tonight...thanks to receiving a tax refund :) Can't wait to have a decent suspension...considering I bought it with sagging springs (unknowingly), I'm sure I'll enjoy the ride once I install these ;)

    Okay, so now you guys can be excited!

    Insalled 2 1w 100ohm resistors on the dome light, and 1 1w 100ohm resistor on each of the map lights. Solder stuck eaisly after a little scuffing. Now everything works perfect! Tuns on WITHOUT the key, and the dimmer and ~30 second off delay both work perfectly!

    A week before you plan on doing it, start hitting every bolt with PB blaster (or something like that), do it every day. It will help so much when the time comes.

    Do you have a body lift or a drop bracket lift? Or is it simply a suspension lift? The one pic looks like you are getting an un-nerving amount of body roll :p

    Just installed new brakes and rotors along with starter. Starter was a real pain in the rear. Not to mention the caliper pins were so rusted (tried liquid wrench) I had to rotozip in the middle and then hammer out.:)
