Bottobro's Build. Laura let's get SASSY

What actual color are your small bumper lights in person? They don't look like the typical bluish-white, in pictures, anyway. They seem to have a slight green tint to them.

same lights you are running broski, the Tuff 6"rounds I think LED

Ah that's strange. It looks different. I'm sure it's just the camera and uploading it. Looks good!

I was wondering if you could ship one to me. I need the cooresponding part number 80400(P/A) which is the upper door hinge. I'd cover shipping, of course.

They can be handy.

Shoot me a PM when you're around.

 

[Prime]

I noticed you removed your backside plastic from the front fenders. Still have those laying around? Are they altered at all?

 

[Prime]

If they're still untouched, I'd like to buy them.

I should still have them, I'll dig them out they are somewhere in the garage.... I can't remember if I bed lined them or not

Just a quick update, The x is getting much needed cooling in the transmission section

And all though she hasnt been washed in about 6 months, I dont think she looks too bad

 

[bottobro]

Its been a while. Sadly I had to miss WENT, but I did get to go to Nexterra's Back 2 School Run, which was just as fun! some pics from that! It was also the teardrops shake down run and it was perfect!

I organized all the trucks

And just a day I got it to now pic

 

[TheFauxFox]

"... Just as fun."

You keep telling yourself that :sure:

Hubs are easy! Torsion bars... little more involved

I figured as much, the t bars will be going in when I get UCAs and my add a leaf comes in

If you want to save yourself some trouble with the T-bars see if your shop will throw them in for you when you get your alignment after installing the UCAs. They basically almost take them out when they adjust them for the alignment so Big O hardly charged me anything to do it.

 

[Prime]

I've never had a shop touch the torsion bars when doing an alignment.

 

[ThompsonXterra]

Really? They adjusted the ride height to accommodate for the new UCA's after the SL and again when I got the stiffer torsion bars. They were able to fine tune it a lot better than I was in my driveway lol

 

[Prime]

Nah. I set the lift at home and then let them do the camber and toe. You must have a competent shop. Because no one around here even knows WTF a torsion bar is.

 

[bottobro]

Ill prob just get around to all these installs once I am done with school. Or prob November... lol because I have plenty of time then.
