Do you have a garage? It is cold outside. Mine is not big enough to do this. If you do I can help you out. Let me know.

I'm always up to meet but unfortunately family takes up a lot of time. There ain't much special about the ride yet.

Here it is in winter 4x4 mode. I've got some cheap wheels and XIce2s:




It's since been tinted with 35/20. My ARK exhaust is ready to go and the Eibach springs will be here this week but I may hold off until spring for install. After this they only other immediate plan is for the OEM front lip and experimenting with Plastic-Dip.

Rambo responded quickly and offered to help but I've been busy with work and family. I tried to do it myself this past weekend but couldn't get the cat bolts to budge. I just bought some PB Blaster to see if that helps.

On the other hand I did find a local ASE certified mechanic that quoted me $175 to install both the ARK and Eibachs (does not include alignment). With my limited time I think this might be the way I might go especially since a local recommended speed-shop quoted me $70/corner just for the springs!

If I get everything done this weekend, I'll put up pics/video next week.

$175 sounds like a good price for both if its someone you trust.

That's an awesome price! I say go for it. An alignment will run you around $80. Looking forward to pics and hopefully vids!

Thanks to those that offered to help. Here are some quick pics of the ARK exhaust. My wife hates the burnt titanium look so it will be polished off. She hasn't heard it yet. A video is in the original post.
