The Tires are a little noisy on par with any agressive mud terrain type tire.
Sorry I sold the Bra on ebay for $75 and used the money for KYB's..

we'll see how much progres I make with these two things and I'll start making the rock sliders.

-Replaced the leaky trans line last week. -Found a hood safety latch I was missing and put that on -Installed 2" RB body lift Been in the "lab" learning to weld and making sliders. Made some decent progress. But I was waiting for my Body lift to arrive so I can figure out the proper height for mounting. Put in the body lift yesterday, but I think I'll complete a rear bumper before the sliders, as I just cant stand to look at the rear with nothing on there and I hate seeing low mounted stock bumpers. I'll post some more pics soon. ![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.mac.com/zone1wst/.Pictures/wheelin/sliders1.jpg) Tac'd together.. ![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.mac.com/zone1wst/.Pictures/wheelin/slidersSWB.jpg) Hiding my sub par beads with the grinder.. I think they'll hold..Im not ready to weld on suspension components yet but these sliders should give me some practice..

Looks awesome Justice! Looking forward to more pics as I'm in the bare-ass boat with you since I put on my BL <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> And, yeah, it looks terrible. I see it every morning when I go to my truck. Since it's too tall to go in the garage now and I back up my driveway.
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

Here's my dirty <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> T-case out before the trip down to Dirtdriver's house. Thanks to his assistance the gears are now in and the T-case is in the Montero. Man what a difference. So thats what I've been missing all these years...whoa! ![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.mac.com/zone1wst/.Pictures/wheelin/tcase.jpg) The body lift came promply and I installed it. Note white pucks. ![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.mac.com/zone1wst/.Pictures/wheelin/rearofswb.jpg) Decided to put the sliders on the back burner for a little bit and make a bumper for the rear. Inspired by Don but with my own twist to suit my taste and ability. The goal was to be ultra low profle and to protect the rear quarter panels a bit. ![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.mac.com/zone1wst/.Pictures/wheelin/bumperrear.jpg) I still have tons of grinding to do as well as drill and paint it. The frame ends will be trimmed and extra brackets cut off as well. ![[Linked Image]](http://homepage.mac.com/zone1wst/.Pictures/wheelin/SWBbumperside.jpg) Need to add a small gusset to the inside corners to make a smoother turn around the corners... The tailpipe needs to be trimmed now as well I need to see how I can move it up a bit...busy day for the cutoff tool and angle grinder tomorrow <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
