Before & After Pics

Almost done with mine. Just need to install the strut spacers, and I'll call it quits.

Man can you link me to those roof brackets for your lightbar? I have been digging for ages and am yet to find roof brackets for a roof mounted 42 inch lightbar!

Brackets were custom made in my shop.

What about your first installment using your factory rails? I saw u had a hole drilled into it with an L bracket holding the lightbar. Was that hard to do? I'm really wanting to mount one on my roof but finding a way to put one up there is deeming more difficult than I tjought

Yeah i'm thinking about making a bracket as well, but one that goes between the door sill and the room because I'm wanting a curved one from side to side of windshield.
Not sure if it's worth it though.

Looks good, how is your fuel mileage with the 4.56's?

Better in the city worse on the highway.

Drilling into the roof rack was easier than drilling my roof with custom brackets. Took me an hours work for the roof mounting. But didn't like it as the light sat too high and too far back. After I made my brackets for the straight 42" I found the curved 42" led. I might make a new bracket to hold one. Not sure yet.

Saw this when picking for parts for my 3rd gen. Still makes me uneasy to this day. The X must have been going fast when it hit something (A building?)

That looks so good. How much lift do you have? What size are those tires?

2.25in. BTF front and 1.75in. BTF rear/ 3in body lift/ 18x9 wheels/ 33x13 wide tires

I guess I could have just read your signature under your picture. It still looks good.

Look around on here because I'm not sure,but I believe I've seen guys run 285s with just a 3" BL and a little trimming. You can run em on any size rim as long as it's not less than 16"

But look around here for sure, this forum is a wealth of knowledge.

I started my Bi-Xenon Retrofit tonight....

Stock the day we got it. Replaced my Ranger

265/70/17 Durantracs. It needed tires so...I love forced upgrades.

I average 14-15 in town... haven't been on a long enough trip to check freeway mileage yet. Gears made a world of difference though, feels like stock with just a little more torque.
