Well I did my upper control arm bushings today... what a difference. I did the first arm with a press(what a pain, took 3-4 hours, most of which was screwing around trying to find ways to press the bushings out). second side I did with an air chissel and ball joint press.... took the tire off... 45 minutes later, tire was back on, soooo much easier...


I also put blue led's in my dash gauges seeing as I had some spare time, I will try and get pictures tomorrow.

Oh and I put 4 - 4 1/2" 100 watt spot lights in the front, best $24 in lights I have ever spent and it hides the gap from the body lift a bit haha.

Looks awesome man, I want to do the guages in mine too, just not to sure about sodering and what not. I can get the bulbs off eBay but it will take two weeks to get here so thats a pain but who knows maybe I'll give it a shot. Blue is def the best way to go though, looks like for the gears and odometer you went with an aqua that sets it off great because it still ties in with the blue.

Love it.

So word on the street is the guy I sold my cooper stt's to rolled his Samari... aka

JIMMY'S GETTING COOPS!!!!
had a set of 32x11.5 cooper STT's on the colorado but the g/f wined about road noise and milage so I bought her different tires and she convinced me there was no point in keeping them around because It would be a while before i could clear them... 2 weeks later I was buyin some 32's!!!!! dammit!!! but now I get them back!!! I'm stoked, I loved those tires!!! but can't afford new (over $1200 a set out here) and 400 bucks with 85% tread sounds much better!!!

should hopefully have them mounted mid january... after my alignment
