Well, one can always hope.

Re: Upgrade

Tint looks good dude. Did you just put the registration/inspection stickers on top of the tint or what?

A couple months ago I got a ticket for the tint, paid it...then got stopped again a month later and got another ticket. Dude informed me that the 3rd time you get stopped for it, they can take you to jail. So as much as I hated to take off the 5%, I went back to legal on the fronts. I'll be damned if I go to jail for ****ing tint. Next ride will have 5% though, legal tint sucks. State Troopers were the only ones who ever stopped me for it.

According to the state of Texas, apparently so. He said they have the option of arresting you, but I didn't even want that to be an option lol.

Re: Upgrade

stock to my knowledge... rears never been messed with.. the front is exactly 3" lower than the rear..

it could be due to uneven rocky road... it usually doesnt look like that much rake lol

Re: Upgrade

finally got around to setting up an air fitting under the bumper...

cut a 3/4" wrench up and used the boxed end, welded that to the bumper and stuck the fitting through it. then found a rubber cap at work to cover the fitting to kind of hide it and keep junk out of it. ran stainless 3/8" line and swagelok fittings
