Winter Mods II
Well it's about that time of year again. So what are the big plans everyone has during hibernation season. I guess I'll start.
Mod List:
1. Going back to stock (learned my lesson last year)
2. Wald Style lip for the winter (on its way)
3. New C-West front bumper (def)
4. Hopefully some audio
5. Brake upgrade (unsure as to what at this point)
Nothing to crazy, just minor upgrades.

HID Fogs will happen before this year is over.
Saving money for rims and exhaust.
Hopefully smoke out by the end of this year as well.

My Winter Mode:
Hopefully I will get a chance to get some HID 3000k in my fogs and I think that will be all the mods I will doing.

Rears are worse on the LS,, have to take the entire rear end apart (similar to Smitty Coilover install thread), and then reach into this tiny crevice of a space to get to the rear end(god bless the gas tank directly behind the back seat). By the time you go thru the contortion act to get to this and then re-assemble the rear end again,, the fronts are noooo problem.
