    Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like a nice shop. Might be a good place to work on my frame. I would prefer something closer to home but I haven't had much luck up here. I'll definitely talk to him.

    Just looked at their site. Is that your rig on their off road fabrication link?

    Also, this is the guy you recommended help me weld on my sliders when it comes time for it, right?

    Its reasonable, Anything in the $200 range for a rear bumper plus swing out is a good deal imo. I got some crazy quotes for my rear bumper, finally got a quote for $200 but even after sending multiple pictures he thought my bumper was the size of a stubby jeep bumper :der: but he still honored the quote

    Thank you both for your help and suggestions. I'm trying to figure this out, but it's like slowly trying to learn Chinese or something. I'm way out of depth with this stuff until I get down to actually doing it.

    anyways.... from what Garrick said and poking around I figure these items are close to what I need?

    I found this on autozone, but I'm not sure how much it goes with what I'm trying to do?

    Oh and thanks for the link to the tailgate lock kit! Just need to decide if I want to get that in, or my sub/amp combo first. They'll cost me about the same. Do you think you'll be working on that next mod day?

    Now I'm off to youtube to search for some automotive electronics for dummies videos.
    EDIT: Looks like I found one. I'm guessing it'll go about the same when I get to it, but with the four little lights?

    the relay you picked out is a SPDT which will work, it will just have an unused pin. As for the rest, I would get...

    inline atm fuse holder (this is to fuse your relay)
    https://www.amazon.com/Lumision-Shi...685868&sr=8-6&keywords=inline+atm+fuse+holder

    relay socket (this makes it easier to wire the relay)
    https://www.amazon.com/Parts-Expres...5-23b4-40b1-8da6-7c1c9eb81d33&pf_rd_i=desktop

    fuse tap (this is to tap an existing fuse under your dash for your switch)

    Hey Guys, thinking of doing the ECGS bushing fix before I lift, wondering if anyone has had any experience doing this?

    I know a few of us in the area have already performed the bushing swap. It isn't too bad at all, just remove the CV on the driver's side and drain the front differential. The special tool ECGS makes helps out, but you could really make your own at home. I know a lot of people on the forum will loan the tool or just pass it around as needed. I don't have the tool, otherwise I'd offer its use.

    I think the special tool is in the hands of someone here in St. Louis already.

    The 25th can work as I'm not going to the AOP trail ride that weekend.

    Negative but it's apparently a cheap an easy mod to do to prevent front diff vibrations after lifting
