| The fun begins! Got the wheels, tires and gas-adjusts installed. First chance to go for a somewhat dry ride. Tires are very quiet, no rubbing even when trying to dig the front bumper in the ground around some bumpy corners. I'm a bit underwhelmed by the KYBs. I've put them on quite a few rigs and this is the first time I've thought that the valving might be a bit soft. Oh well, not gonna sweat it until I get it lowered. Wheels are Ridler 18x8 with 235/55x18 Bridgestones. Chose the black just in case JimR and I end up in the same parking lot. Vern  | |

| Love it.
I'd probably die in that car with no window tint, though. I don't know how you guys do it.... |

| Thanks all.... Tint and B pillars are two of the many things that are on the list. Trying to focus on the mechanical stuff first. A group of Moog front end parts will be here Monday. Once they are installed and I get it in to be aligned I'll be done with the "make it safe" stuff and can start with the fun things on the list!
Cheers, Vern | |
