@Qball Is there anyway I can double check if I have the right part before I dig into it? It took about 3 weeks for them to send it out cause they were waiting on some parts. I want to make sure its the right kit lol.

We didn't know until we installed it. IIRC there was a stamping on the part.

You Cali guys dont know what tactical is. You think getting through the drive thru line at Starbucks in less than 20 mins is tactical

Do you how hard it is to get a clean shot while in the driver's seat and steering?

Parked it next to the new addition to the family- '99 100 series aka " mom beast" per the kids.

Wife wanted something that sat higher than the Audi allroad for going over to our cabin on the otherside of cascade mountains.

I finally replaced my old bent panhard with a homemade adjustable panhard. It only cost my $28 and a few hours of work.

Did u start with a stock Panhard from a salvage yard and add the adjustment section?

Pretty crazy weekend of maintenance on my 80. Changed the tranny fluid and tranny filter. Changed the fluid in the axles and transfer case. Degreased and Power washed the engine and every where underneath where my oil pan is leaking oil (ie EVERYWHERE!). Swapped out my horns that had quit about 4-5 years ago. Pulled my K&N Air Filter, cleaned and oiled it. While doing that I decided to wet sand, prime and paint the air filter canister. Pretty fancy! And started taking the molding off the sides in preparation for monstalining the bottom half of my 80.

Yes Cali is all sunny and full of environmentalist but it is also home to the largest gang and drug dealer population. Something you mid us folk are not always use to. Although they got smarter now and days and leave most normal folks alone.

I hate to say it but it seems tactical awareness is vital to survival here...

I feel naked since moving back without my CCW.

Yes I not too sure what tactical awareness means but I know what situational awareness is.

I prefer not carry any firearm because of high possibility of hurting bystander. your brain and hands are the deadliest weapons known to man. Just some examples: your eyes take less than 5 lb of pressure to pop, your nose takes less than 15 lbs to break, esophagus take less than 10lbs to collapse, your temple takes less then 20lbs, knee cap, neck vertebrae, balls, foot/toes, joints, hell your jugular is mere skin deep. In a close quarter crowded urban situation a gun is more of a liability.

Not that we Cali people don't know how to use a gun but some of us simply choose not to, not to say that renders us helpless in a gun fight.......if certain situation does arise my opponent should be thankful I used my taser instead of my hands.

Pm me and we can chat about that.

I don't need to be within arms reach to use a gun so your theory is flawed...Also, you will only hit a bystander if you are untrained and miss what you were aiming for. Most people's brains are only harmful to others because they don't get used enough and they watch too much liberal media that teaches them guns are dangerous and a "liability". Based on your argument your hands are a liability. There is no limit to the damage they can do! Please stay in California. Rant over.

That looks great. Can you dim the dash / gauges LEDs?
