    2wd and 4wd Lifts.

    I'm thinking of moving up to those 4" hydro shocks that you posted! Any idea on if tjeyre worth it or are durable enough? I've looked for reviews, but cant find any! By the way, I have an in-depth torsion twist tut stickied somewhere on this site if youd like to use it! EDIT: Will I be able...

    Cold air intake!

    the only problem about the engine swap is.. I have no idea what to do or where to go, since I'm kinda way out in the boonies :-p I'm pretty much just going to need a v8 and new transmission for the v8 right? or am I going to need a whole new chassy?

    Cold air intake!

    how much was it for your 93? I'm in HIGH need of some horsepower! BTW, I'm dreaming of doing an engine swap to a 5.0 v8, my v6 is almost at 140k and it's just DIEING

    wiring 4 driving lights up to 1 switch?

    oh trust me, thats on the top of my list for when it warms up, since I dont have a heated place to do work in and I cant wear my gloves when I do wiring lol, it's going to look pretty damn good too, thanks again for all the advice!

    wiring 4 driving lights up to 1 switch?

    haha trust me, it's as simple as it gets, the fuses are pretty much right next to the battery, I found that grounding towards the back took less wire, so I just decided to go with that route.. So far everything works good, I use it on nights with no moon or whatever, I love them! can't wait for...

    wiring 4 driving lights up to 1 switch?

    OK I can do that for you, I think the top mounted lights spread A LOT more then bumper mounted ones, since they're higher, the lights I have on there are fog type lights, not long distance lights, but they still give me a GOOD sight at night, as in it's basically almost day time haha, I can't...

    Torsion twist for dummies! (pics included)

    thats probably your best bet, and thats what I did, I just did the TT BEFORE I had my shackles on haha It was weird how much of a difference 1.75" made when only the front was lifted instead of the back at that time
