    No no no. It doesn't mount in the ash tray. It illuminates the ash tray. Mounts in the hole in the ash tray bracket.

    Did you mount your shocks the way you did because it's a daily driver? I have 12" 5125's and am trying to figure out if I want to mount them like yours or like /\. I'm thinking I'm going to have to mount them /\ because they are so long haha. I know they dampen better on the road like you have them but I'm wanting the most travel I can get and only wanting to build the rear once. And are your upper mounts directly above the axle or did you lean the shocks back a bit?

    Eh, see my Build Thread sig link. Too many mods to list.
    Ok, now I want to leave work just to go home and look. Makes me wonder why there was no bulb and it wasn't mounted. Maybe the previous owner didn't like it.

    This injustice shall be righted!

    Thanks for the info.

    Got some vibes after my lift so I picked up some washers and stacked them to 1/2" to drop the carrier bearing. Made a huge difference but I still have some vibes from 10-20mph. May try and drop it just a bit more.

    Also cleaned it up some

    Finally got some new camper top shocks. Having a piece of glass/ aluminum fall on your head sucks.
