    Took the teraflex front track bar off that has been on my jeep for the last couple years and put on a rubicon express extreme duty. Old vs new. I did not get the frame side bracket. I made my own from a stock mount. I had made one for the Teraflex bar and it has proved to be very durable and...

    I finally built one of those cool storage systems in the back of my grand. One drawer with 100 lbs slides and a flip up lid with gas charged strut. Even put a sub in it. And got some ruff tuff seat covers, Very nice product. I'm pretty impressed with the fit and thickness of the material.

    I have some room between the York and inner fender wall that I will utilize for the overflow. But if that doesn't pan out I may look into a custom intake.

    well right now I have no overflow I just routed the hose down out of the engine bay it has been that way for two month now and it has lost less than a quart of antifreeze but it's getting close to summer so I need to make a trip to the local pick and pull and find a smaller overflow tank that I...
