So, I ordered proforged inner and outer tie rods. Also ordered new shorter jounce stops from belltech. Probably looking into a set of jimmijammers for the doors as well. I'm really considering a full wrap after doing some minor body work

We can turn this into a build thread if you want.

You probably should...I was thinking on it and this site is addictive.I ordered a steering stabilizer,kicker 10"shallowmount ,some end links/bushings, a new tilt and glad break sensor. So I am definitely hooked.

Uneven surface about 75' from wall, but some people here wanted to see retrofit cutoff pics. Left side bulb still needs adjusting but that's normal on mh1 retros.

Second pic is less than 20' from wall.

Appreciate the comment, I am trying to find a vinyl wrap that is close to the oem paint to redo the hood and will probably do the roof in a glossy carbon fiber black

Im in the same boat, looking for some close to oem wrap too.

Call me crazy but here's an idea, how about gloss green carbon fiber? They make cf in every color imaginable now. That would look trick

It does not rub anywhere, fits perfect to the grille and lights, but there is a little larger gap on the fender seams which is annoying and is noted by other guys who have swapped it out,
but not enough to not have that mean look up front.

Went to the body shop to discuss options, but short of reaming holes and trying to tweak the fender bolts then worrying about the door to fender alignment, I have just rolled with it.

after folding up my stock hood in a front end collision this year, the "new" aftermarket hood has the same fitment issues. I was hoping to alleviate some of the gap issues with a HD hood, but now I think maybe I'll just settle for the convenience of an aftermarket one


I picked her up for $3500...and I'm stoked!

Deal of the century. At first I wasn't a fan or the green but now I want one. Very classy upgrades also. 10/10
