    OH I dont get it whats wrong with whiper blades besides they needing replaced and arms needing to be painted.

    Ya when I bought truck drivers side was never tinted.. Also spent enough money I have none for tint but that is one of the next items on my list is stip it all and tint it way I want it.




    Dub those are not X-HD... They are just the HD ones. I bought Indy4X premium lift kit. Not sure what difference is exactly I know they both look a little different. Also I have two little low profile bump stops or what not which I am not really sure where they go yet as it didnt come with instructions really, and since its all new to me they whole off roading and knowing what is used for what but hey figuring it all out as I go .

    No i was being serious. I just finally upgraded to the frameless blades and was commenting on yours as well.

    I have always wanted to buy the stinkyfab links......

    I also like the non-center cap look.

    As far as tint. I HATE mine. It will be $250 to rip off and install new tint. Going dark all the way around.

    Almost every piece I bought.


    and this is what I did buy

    https://id211.chi.us.securedata.net/...products_id=11

    Course the top has the HD tie rods and such among other tid bits I added to my order. If the top one was available at the time would ahve gotten it.

    Now with that the one I bougth did come with the 9000 xl's... that is just and old picture they have.

    Ultra Low profile bumpstops:


    Mounting location, (under the upper control arm on the front of the VX), must jack up the VX on the lower control arm to relieve pressure to reach and remove the bumpstop, bolt will be easily acessible on top of upper control arm:



    Increase in downward travel, before:

    After:

    No man..."Hammer pants" would be MUCH too warm in the desert.

    I do however, have some verry billowy shorts (think jodhpur x about 5) that I'll be stylin' around Moab in...poppin' out of my VX at stop lights & breakin' it day-own...

    Talking

    Also, unless I'm looking at this wrong, you should tighten the jamb nut (in red circle) down to the tube.

    Pay no attention to the rest of the random doodling...I found out I could make a circle & just went a little nuts.
