    Hey folks, just a heads up. Advance Auto Parts has a 7-piece flex head set of GearWrenches on sale for $34.99! They normally run around $70, so if you're looking for a great set of ratcheting wrenches, run out and grab them. Can't beat that price for a set of GearWrenches. The deal only last until October 1st I think.

    Don't go to The Audio Itch @ 908 N Dale Mabry. They did a unsatisfactory job on my brother Tacoma. I have gone to the guy who's card I attached, he's done two vehicles for me and both were great.

    All set, appreciate it! Makes a big difference inside, glad to have it tinted it, forgot how good it felt to have a little like more shade.

    Thought about doing something with the windshield, however did not go through with it

    I have my windshield done at fifty. I'm torn, on one hand I like the extra shade but on the other, the clarity is reduced

    Nice lookin' Scout. As for your question, I don't really have either one, but it looks fairly straight forward. Only dodgy part that would make me nervous is grinding on the knuckle. The MC and the proportioning valve have the potential to be a PITA due to the tight areas, but nothin' to it but to do it, right? ;) It basically looks like something that could be easily done in your driveway with the most complicated tool being an angle grinder.

    Too bad it doesn't look like there's room to put a brake booster on it as well. That would really improve your stopping power. Always hated manual brakes. :p

    Anyway, good luck with it. :cool:
