    The lights for the dash cluster are 194 bulbs, I’m pretty sure there’s 4 of them. The HVAC are different, a much smaller. These are samples. No clue on the glove box or ash try. r

    I actually made a video on those knobs because I didn't actually know if they made them to fit first gens too. The link to the ones I got is in the description of my video, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure some of the 2nd gen ones are actually a different size so make sure you don't get the wrong ones. Here's the video I made though if anyone is interested

    I actually also made a video swapping all my interior lights to LED, short answer I think there's four dash lights if I remember correctly, 3 HVAC, but those are actually white the stock knobs just have orange tint (they're also really hard to find I just took mine out), 3 dome/map lights, and a lot of the indicator dash LEDs like for low fuel and whatnot, I left those stock bulbs in. You can see for yourself in my video though let me know if it helped and subscribe if you're interested in more first gen content! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mC6H_2B7GLM

    When slamming on the brakes, should the front brakes start skidding before the rear? Or is that the wrong way around?

    Looks like they're on the wrong side too. Probably why they appeared to not fit right.

    How would you know of the BPV bracket is too low or high? I have the dakars but they've settled a bit.

    I go and test them in the dirt and see what lock up first as a couple different speeds.

    I never really had the symptoms of axle wrap but I'm sure new leaf springs cant make it worse.

    Agreed. It's cast iron, so it should hold up well against the wire rope.

    As I suspected found what's rubbing. Would get a horrible grinding sound intermittently on some turns.

    Might buy this CAI off a friend used for $100 doesn’t come with a heat shield or any way to stabilize it so I’m going to have to get creative. Don’t have to pay until I get it installed and decide if I’m keeping it. I’ve seen people use Rubbermaid trash cans and weather stripping to make a make shift heat shield that looks legit. Might give it a try.
