AND THAT is why I won't run a trac-bar with a TRE on the frame side.

left work early went to caps came home ripped apart the dash, then finished installing blue lights for my instrument panels and gages instead of the crappy white stock ones. p.s. 16 year old bulbs never a good idea for ideal lighting...

She ready for Saturday nights Halloween ride. Just need some gas and some air in the tires.
sounds like you need a new blower motor.

Installed my eautoworks upgraded wiring for my headlights. Works so much better with the silverstars then stock.
It was actually pretty easy to do. Basically a plug and play. Also did some modifying of my batter tray since the battery that I have didn't sit in the tray all the way. It does now though.

played around at the shop.
time for some longer shocks and brakelines. they're the only things limiting me upfront now.

and since i played around with the rear springs and removed a leaf from the bastard pack, the rear now compresses much better, and once i install some shackles the droop should really be helped

Went to the exhaust shop and had my muffler reinstalled. No leaks and its so quiet. On the way home I realized my trans isn't down shifting into 1st gear. Some times it will but most of the time it wont. I can pull in down into 1st and it works. Humm add that to the list of problems.
