    I’m really glad to hear. The additional inputs really shifted me to buy pro take offs. Thanks guys.

    I used to daily my project car with stiff coilovers and it never bothered me. Probably because I was young and I knew I was driving a small “sport car.” About 6-7 years ago, I tucked the car away and began to daily my truck. I thought it was a huge upgrade in comfort even with cheap 5100’s on stock sport springs. But suddenly I’ve found myself complaining it’s too stiff and got the itch to get something that’s more comfortable without breaking the bank.

    Do you or anyone happen to know if the fox’s are rebuildable? And if so, what’s the recommend mileage to get them done at?

    They’re rebuildable from what I’ve read here. Recommended mileage depends on offroad usage but typically around 50,000 miles

    Funny story. So it gives you a choice of 2 spots on the rear lower passenger side of the bed. I fucked it up!! As easy as the install is. I screwed up where I stuck the first line of lights and threw everything off. So, I had to cut splice and heat shrink. It got done though. My switch ended up in the drivers side little cubby because how I had to move everything around. I also changed how I powered it. The directions stated to run the hot to the battery. I powered it to a constant hot as directed but by means of a fuse tap into the horn. Works perfect, eliminates a wire going to the battery, and looks clean. That’s the basis of my whole build.

    So excited, my Corbeau seats just came in!!! Mayyyybe they’ll go in today. But, most likely later this week. I can finally lower my seat height. I also just got back from the cheese state (Wisconsin), picked up a brand new URD stage 2 clutch with ARP bolts and tob off a guy from marketplace.

    This is an awesome truck, I’ve been following for at least two years now. The source for many of the inspirations for my truck. I’ve always been a fan of this setup. Great build Juan!!!

    Did my seats and ran into a snafu. They are in and installed. Problem is I had to permanently disconnect the seat airbags. That being said, the airbag light is on in the dash. I got to see if when I do the hptuner, if it can be phased out.
