Removed front shocks, torque'd all rear suspension components, installed rear shocks, installed brake lines. Next is removing the LCA bolt, what a PITA!

Nah it wasn't the brightness. Just the overall look. Maybe if they were mounted to some kind of bar instead of right on the bumper they would look better.

I don't know they just looked out of place. lol.

Replaced the leaking valve cover gasket and in the process found one of the heater hoses to be really soft and spongy so those got replaced as well.

Don't remove the small hose from the thermostat housing with the valve cover off! Antifreeze puked out and right into the head! So I ended up having to change the oil as well.....

What kind of lights did you use? On my 93 I dont see there being enough room between the AC condenser and the back of the grille but I want to put a pair of amber fogs in there.

What are you using to mount the bikes on the back? It looks awesome.
