When I shorted out the dome light, and it took all of my cluster lights, as well.. my answer was a 15amp fuse in the panel under the hood.. but, if all of your's are good, then I guess it could be the headlight switch.. mine just didn't seem affected by the cluster issue.

Does anyone have the link saved to the write up on cutting and folding your rear quarter panels? I thought I saw it on here but after using the search and looking through the write ups I cannot find it

I'm not sure about the write-up on here, but if you visit bushwacker's website, and look up the flat flares, you can download their installation instructions.. it involves cutting, then folding. Might give you some sort of idea

So now that I've found out my motor mounts are done for what do y'all think about reacements? Oem or poly. I've heard the poly ones cause more vibrations and I'm not a big fan of that. But I'm on 4.5 lift and 33's right now. The oem ones are much cheaper too and look easier to install. Any cons to them? I'm slightly mechanically inclined but terrified right now of the fact that I'm going to have to unbolt my engine so ease of install is also a plus.

Don't worry it's not gunu fall out lol. There are bolts as well unless you sheered those in breakin the mounts it's often the case. Poly mounts I think are the way to go. Stronger and can take more of the beat. Never heard of vibrations from them? Throw a jack under the engine you'll be solid

It is a daily driver. Does that change any opinions?
