    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...

    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.

    indy4x premium lift kit. You can do it cheaper but figured I had money burning a whole so may as well go heavy duty parts on some other things if your gonna do it. But can do it waaay cheaper than I did it but you may have parts break down the road which I didnt want. I dont have exact link as they have already changed thier website. I guess after i bought all that I did they have enough to upgrade it lol... I will try and find link.

    I dunno blades were with the truck when I bought em... I hadnt even noticed anyone elses or that they were different. But cool none the less then . Not sure the diff between frameless and frame as maybe just the look I am sure but I like em.

    ya center cap up front looks awesome but the caps didnt come with rism I have to buy them seperate and will have them before Moab.
    ya tint sucks that is why its going to have to wait..




    ..Sweet thanks littlebeast.


    Pbkid I will get back to you on how I figure it out about to leave work...

    Um I have no idea who jodhpur is. I am but 29 , but i shall google it when I get home. But if you are gonan bust-a-move dont forget to bring the cardboard to lay on teh ground and the boom box.

    Yup you are. Nut goes toward rear tire and that silver peivce is shiney part so its as tight as it can be. When I got it aligned dude tightened it but yes I am going over every part b4 moab make sure all nuts and bolts are tightened even tho the ones in my head are not.


    lmfao ya gotta love the extra doodling. Hey look a chicken...

    When ya think jodhpur, ya gotta think of the trou worn by the patrolmen in me, myself, & Irene.

    Also, I wouldn't get too excited about center caps before Moab...center caps are considered a light snack by most of the trailside rocks.
