Just went through your build thread.

What made you change you mind to have the pod lights mounted on your roof rack? I noticed you posted that you remove your roof rack every winter.

I originally mounted them under the bumper but as you can see it didn't work out to well, as far as the rack goes I'm just going to leave it on.

The lowest point on my car is the catalytic converter. The ground clearance was 5.75" before the springs. The new ground clearance is 7 11/16"

this was this weekends project! I decided to paint the door sills so when I step on them to get something off my rack I won't slip.

I'll use this thread for inspiration for my rig if you don't mind. :)

And where did you end up mounting the transceiver? I've been trying to scout out a good place, and so far the inside of the driver's side footwell (against the center console) looks like the most secure place to mount the bracket.

here's another quick diy project I decided to do over the long weekend.

My diy limb riser project is under way!
I still need to drill a couple of small holes to add some self tapping screws to help secure the wire hangers and then I will be moving on to the rack.

Cool!

Project update!
I got the rack scraped,sanded and wire brushed. I also added a couple of tie down points and then I degreased and washed the rack to get ready to paint.
