    Damn, looking at your engine bay tells me its time to scrub , & looking at your deckplate MOD looks like mine too (except mine is a little smaller in diameter, is that a piece of steel mesh you used ??

    Well its not done yet. Yea it doesnt look as "pretty" but its unique and its either pay like $100 bucks for a stupid big plastic jug or get your friend to drink a couple energy drinks and give you the cans and have fun doing something that not everybody else has? And I rather go with MY option. May not be everybodys taste, but I like it. ;)

    Rustolieum black wheel paint and.....well thats probably it cause Im cheap and make do with what I have, lol. But it holds up just fine. :D

    Im not sure what your saying about going at the control arm or the 4 nuts at the bottom? There is three nut on the top and one bolt and nut on the bottom of the strut bolting to the lca. I just wedged a bottle jack upside down and jacked it and it kept pushin the arms down till there was room to slide everything in place ok.

    No, I didn't notice any diff. at all & I've run them down trails both ways

    I thought it kinda odd to flip them but it doesn't matter, someone mentioned about reservoirs being on bottom but these are gas shocks soooo...

    Oh all right sweet. I've been thinking of building a lightbar, I'm just trying to decide on where to mount it on the frame.

    Keep up the good work.
