I plan on installing mine Saturday. Have any problems with yours or any tips you would like to give me?

naw it should be easy if you loosen the shift linkage under the tranny if you have auto thanks to brian2sun he pointed that out to me and do the same with the steering rag joint i didnt use the radiator drop bracket i just took the bottom part of the fan guard off and everything went good except for two of the bolts that came with the lift or maybe it was my fault i striped one when tightening it and broke one from over tightening it but i just went to ace and got me some new ones
hope that helps
 
plugs , wires, o2 sensor, cleaned throttle body and mass air flow, new air filter, installed 2 of my Baja designs hid's, installed gps and 2 race radios, and finally put my craigslist con fer rack score on. Was a good day, and the runner is just about ready for our baja 1000 excursion, leaving next saturday before the sun rises.
Viva baja.

i installed mine today. didnt do the shift linkage. think its a big deal? havent drivin it yet cause i was watching UGA tear it up again! so not real sure if it is off any. should i worry about it and let it back down or just leave it?
 
I too have just started my rear cargo drawer system.... and holy crap this is a job and a half!!

so far this is all i have, I'm going a different route than most, with shorter drawers, a cargo hatch in the back paired with a down-firing sub in the back of the box. (hence the different size drawers)

I just have to make the drawers, add some framing to the front, than some carpet and paddle latches and what ever else I can think of. I'm thinking on putting a Slurpee machine that powers my hot tub too... dont know yet lol

what do you have auto and go test drive it if everything feels fine then leave if you feel safe but i would fix it for peace of mind tho
 
I decided to drag mine out of its parking space that its been sitting in for the past 3 or 4 months and give it a good washing inside and out. Time to start doing stuff too it again. Been sitting too long
 
Washed and vacuum job, get her all cleaned up after our first snow storm. Put my rubber floor mats in.

Changed a few of the bad vacuum lines in hope to fix my P0171 code. I might post a picture of the "large" leak I think is the cause later. Thinking this is the issue considering I've cleaned the MAF twice and still got the code.
 
Spent the past few days putting parts on the runner. Polyurethane front swaybar bushings,poly rack mounting bushings,wheel alignment, tons of scraping and painting undershrouds and mounts, new bumpers front and rear sprayed satin black, and today going to undercoat. I hate New York State salt!!!!!!! I am so envious of you guys who don't have to deal with this mess.

Nice, I was thinking about doing a similar system with a 12" sub and amp. You should make a build thread for it when you're done. How much added weight do you think you'll be adding?
 
my first mod!

installed a single din Alpine HU and mounted a scangauge2 in the lower pocket

i almost put in the CB radio i bought (cobra19) but couldnt go through with cutting up the ashtray area for a nice install, only had 2 weeks with truck, need to hold off on cutting it up
 
Snapped an end link for my front sway bar. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the lower bolt off to remove the link. The whole thing spins when I turn it. Also, will it do any damage if I drive on it for one more day with only the passenger side of the sway bar connected?

So far its surprisingly really light. I would say with the added tools i end up putting in there and all the wood and carpet, it would probably add 30lbs at the most. I'm also using a 12" narrow sub in the down-firing box. Now I'm trying to think of a place to mount the amp where it can be out of the way

I'll make a build thread, and I'll try and document all the measurements as i move along. I'm trying to take my time so i dont mess up but my OCD is off the charts right now haha! I'm hoping to get the drawers made this week, supposedly there a little tricky??
