Soooo this winter the high beams decided they didn't want to cooperate with the rest of my lights. At first, if I turned them on, the regular lights would flicker, but stay. Then after a few times, as soon as you turn the high beams on, ALL my lights turn off. Good thing the PO installed fog...

I had a similar incidence occur, except spilled a sh!t ton of iced coffee all over the switch. Darn cup holders don't hold mason jars! Mine works from the key lock (which I just figured out, d'oh!) but does nothing with the switch, and only clicks on "UP". And I'm NOT experienced with electrical...

About ready to have a meltdown...got out of work (was there at 7freaking30 this morning) and found a HUGE puddle of coolant on the ground, actively dripping from front of motor. Can't see where it's coming from. Take things apart, still can't find where it's coming from....any ideas!? Has been...

Check those vacuum lines! Super easy to fix, and a common 4wheel drive problem.

Yea, trying to figure out about the CV's, I need new ones, and was thinking manual hubs would be the way to go. Especially since I don't do much in 4 wheel, it would be nice to not have to worry about wearing them out. Can't wait to post pictures tomorrow with everything put back together!

Wolf_Girl, I've already held the caps up to the rims, lol. I think I'm going to leave them chrome, they look sick against the black! The lug nuts, I'm not sure about. Too much fun changing colors! And I scrubbed off all the rust on the grill guard, looks WAY better.

So, posting pictures so you all can see the wonder that is Topanga. Yes, her name is Topanga. And we have a very strong love/hate relationship, lol. Leaning towards hate right now, since I took the tires off and discovered a torn CV boot. :flip off: Probably should have ordered a drop diff kit...

I went with the 1.5" BJ Spacers, OME shocks front and rear, and OME 901 coils. Oh, also had to replace my upper ball joints, though not due to the added goodies. Got about 2" of lift, maybe a little more. Currently sitting on 265/75/16 BFG A/T's. Gives you enough room to really play around with...

Mine didn't sag too badly, but I wanted a few inches of lift. I went with 1.5" BJ Spacers, OME shocks front and rear, and OME 901 coils. Looks great now, and def no sag, haha!

I went with ball joint spacers, OME shocks front and rear, and OME coils. I went with the heavy duty coils, I believe the 901's, and the nitrocharger shocks. Gave Topanga an awesome few inches of lift! I ordered mine off the Rocky-Road website, which has everything OME you'd need for whatever...

I'm really liking my OMEs and I've only got the back ones in! Can't wait until I get the fronts done, too. It did take a while to get mine, since they were drop shipped from the manufacturer, and I didn't know that, FYI.

I have a '95 Limited, and bought it for quite a bit more than you did! First car, got distracted by the awesome condition the body was in, as well as interior. Blew up the motor about a year later...boy, was THAT a tough lesson to swallow! :-( and by blew up, one of the pistons actually...

My ex plasti-dipped his rims, bumper, decals, and grill on his Tundra. Looked really nice, was easy, and it's only about 20-30 minutes drying time between coats. Plus, you can pick it up at almost every Home Depot-type store, and it comes in a ton of colors. I'm probably going to end up doing...

Yay! I ordered the parts on Friday, and I was already sick of waiting about an hour after I paid, lol. I cannot wait! Glad I spent hours reading, and I'll have to get some pictures up ASAP!

So, just ordered BJ spacers, OME shocks for front and back, and OME coils. Do I need anything else? I don't think so, right? I've read about a billion pages here and on YotaTech about "lifts" but just want to check! I'm a TOTAL newbie, lol, and just want to make sure I've got all the parts I...
