    Those pics are with everything on and high beams. Lol.. The fogs are only turned on with high beams. I do use them occasionally on these back roads with low beams tho, and have only been flashed like once or twice. Then the morimoto supercharged high beams give em a split second retina scorching. :rofl:
    These are the fogs by themselves with low beams

    Ok, I’ll bite, did a recent upgrade to the Barcelona Red and added Siless 80 mil (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BLSP8JV) and liner to all 4 doors and front floorboards. I am SSD right ear (deaf), and yes, it made a huge difference. My theory is, the sound dampening changes the frequency of the highway road noise to a lower frequency that I can’t hear, thereby making it easier to hear at highway speeds.
    Was worth the time and money for me.

    @NightProwler & @Willy Lump Lump thank you for the pics and the heads up. I already know the install is going to be a PITA, but I think I'm gonna go ahead and order the kit.

    I have to change my serpentine belt, all my gear oil, and I have to drop my oil pan and probably replace my oil pickup tube gasket (cold start rattle), and it's time for transmission fluid drain/refill. I'll have spark plugs to do in another 10-15k as well along with coolant.....

    With all these maintenance items due and a new set of tires to buy i might was well get something cool that actually might serve a purpose and I will benefit from using.

    Thanks to both of you for the pics .. it really convinced me to move ahead with the mod.

    That’s a couple days work, haven’t heard of the rattle issue. My 2nd gen never had any issues with that on the 2trfe

    Got more done on the home brew aluminum skid plate. Think it might be too close to the diff Easy enough to add some spacers back in though IMG_8684.jpg

    Luckily the hard part is done mounting this plate. The rest is connecting the dots to the front crossmember and adding a bunch of gussets
