    Thanks. The coils ride just fine. Not nearly the nightmare that everyone paints them to be when riding with no weight up front

    I figured that was the best place for the CB mic to be.
    I got tired of having it in my lap & fall in between the console & seat, or onto the floor :eek:
    Thanks, it was just W. of Kachess Lake. Be sure & make it out to one of these meets soon and we'll be snappin' away

    Eh yeah it depends on the year, but this is supposed to be a cold one.
    Yeah.. I think the cheapest way you're gonna get one like you want is to buy whatever you like (wrap around/regular plate or whatever) and then have your buddy fab/weld you up the tire swing out

    ....but it's still gonna be 'spensive! No doubt about that one

    I don't know where I ordered it from exactly, but this looks to be the same one I found on Amazon here:
    http://www.amazon.com/Allen-Company-Metal-Tool-Autos/dp/B001E1JM5S/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1383631301&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=allen+gun+rack


    The trim paint was coming off of the top of the center console (where you lean on it) but I bought the console cover from Wet Okole in addition to my front seat covers so it's not a problem anymore

    That snow looks like fun except in off camber areas with lots of exposure (i.e. Liberty area and/or Table Mountain).

    We have to meet up for a greater Seattle meet on the East side.

    What kind of fog lights are you putting in your bumper? I'm trying to figure out if I should get square cut outs for my D2s or if I should stick with a round cutout for regular fog lights. I want to be able to use them on road and not blind the crap out of people. And the D2s don't fit that description.

    Haha no the D2s definitely do not fit that description, they are bright!-- which is what I like to hear :D

    ...but I just recently gave Tim a ring and asked to have the square cutouts cause the D2s are just so nice I don't see myself changing to any other fog light. He said if they are only pinch welded on then they'll break the pinch weld and get me the square fogs. Either way the bumpers look good with square fogs or circles but I think they look a lot better with square cutouts



    Circle Cutouts:

    Ah ok. Thanks for the pics. I'm still trying to figure this thing out lol. Id really like to use fogs whenever I want and not blind people. But the recessed D2s look so clean, and with a pair of LF on top of the bumper I think it'd look bomb. Gahhh :goingcrazy: too many decisions.

    Haha that's exactly what I'm going for. I don't think the D2s will blind people unless you're right on top of them and it's a low riding car, and even then it shouldn't be that much of an issue. Have you ordered yet or are you just now itching to get a bumper order in line with Elite Off Road

    Nope haven't ordered anything yet. There's a crate of 4 or 5 bumpers, a roof rack, and maybe some sliders coming up from bruteforce fab. I'm thinking of joining that and getting one as well. Trying to choose the lights and if I want a winch cutout or a receiver instead.

    Guys here on TW are doing it. Kind of an Alaskan group buy. I thought I'd want a winch cutout too, but if I did a receiver I can eventually use it to winch from. Then I can do it from front or back.
