Nice tires, thinking about getting the same. Just make sure your torque converter is locked in OD so you don't get unnecessary heat build up in the tranny and wear things a little quicker.. May be worth while running OD off, in 3rd gear, so the TC stays locked.

I like mine in my LX, but it is not "seamless or transparent" in the snow as some say. I can kick out the rear end easily, CDL locked or not, without hesitation. Not a horrible thing, but just something to be aware of. BTW, I've not had it "unload" on me like some others may.

Those middle row seats are too damn heavy and I don't want to put them back in. I am thinking of some kind of smaller, lighter back seat like one out of a wrangler or something that folds flat.

Way to go! Going to keep the 'ol tailgate on?

I also have the es9000's on the rear and they are too stiff as well. Post some pics when you can!

Way to go!:bounce::bounce: You've been busy today! Pics!

Pricing? What would make me want to buy this product over FOA or Fox? I am ready to go up in size from 2.0's.

Yes. The u-joints didn't like the new angles. Even with new u-joints installed, I had the growling still, necessitating a DC shaft. I may be misunderstanding this, but If you get the pinion angle back to stock, you will have changed your caster, reducing it, by lowering the pinion angle...

Here is the soft top. It could have come out better I thought, but there were numerous angles and corners that the guy had to work with. He used a very heavy-duty material, and the window material is very optically clear. I have used stick-on auto weatherstripping to make it virtually...

1) I used an angle grinder with a cutoff disk. I only used a sawzall when I had to cut thru the triple-wall rear vertical pillar (there are 3 vertical walls, like a sandwich. The cut is right behind a structural cross bar. 2) I didn't pull the headliner. I dropped it down a little after...

I had to on both of mine. The 80 has 5"+ lift, no weight, and the LX did after adding caster plates at 3". My growling/vibes started not until sometime later. Give it time.

Here is mine. I will post the lastest pick tomorrow when I have me camera, with the snap-on cover, the crossbars with the Wilderness rack. I am almost finished. I need to finish up on the sealing up of the rear pillar. I used expanded foam and fiberglass resin. Stock springs in the rear have...

That is funny he thinks that.

Wrong. Many posts in the 80's section state that only the shock valving is different on the LX's.

Read the thread from the top.
