:cheesy: needless to say I'm not mad cause it's funny as shit! Some of the kids in my class have a funny sense of humor
Just noticed your fenders are faded. You probably already know how to do it, but you can make them black again. I did my old TJ and it made a much nicer look for really cheap.
Love the new wheels.
What have you used?
Mine was a combo of heat gun (blow dryer takes way too long and won't look as good) and some product I forget the name of. There are lots of options though: Back to Black, Rustoleum bed liner, etc. that could all work.
Ok thanks. I have actually used a heat gun last year and have used back to black since then and it really hasn't helped. Prob just need new fenders at this point

Coz, I've used this on my dads TJ, and my JK. It's paint, but from a professional auto body supply. Turns out really nice, pretty much satin black, should just about match your EVO skins. I also used it on my bumpers, and sliders. One word of caution though, gas spills quickly take a toll on this product. Other than that it's held up well for a few years now.

Edit: The hubcaps are pretty sweet!
Best part about going to school is that we work on our vehicles and other students cars to get super hands on. Well to day in steering and suspension I adjusted knuckles ride height again but this time on the lift lol.
Here is how he sat before at home

I took another 1/2" of preload out of the front and rear so I'm at 1/2" up front and 1" in the rear. Also properly adjusted my timing rings which they were not before.
thanks again to drew at ore for letting me know how they set up coilovers on the 2 door builds to get as low as possible and making sure I have my timing rings set right.
Well I just had a good convo with Drew at ORE about my coilover setup to see how they are doing it for 2 doors at the shop. I am looking to go lower even more after my recent adjustments and he suggested I go as low as .5" of preload. So my next project is it jack knuckles back up and make more adjustments to the preload and to properly set my timing rings as they were never set up right to begin with
Hey cozdude I just installed some coil-overs same set up as you can you let know how drew from ore showed you how to set the coil-overs

Well last week in school, after my state inspection test, I pulled knuckles into the shop to check out my ball joints. Needless to say that after 10k miles they are shot again. I had about .020" of radial play (in and out) and about .015" of an inch of axial play (up and down) on both sides. So today a bit the bullet I should have a long time ago and ordered some pro steers from trail jeeps! Tim hooked me up with a great price and just called me and said they were leaving the shop as we speak! Also will be installing new unit bearings again as well since I seem to have destroyed them since they have about .020" of radial play as well
Good to hear. Those mall parking lots can tear stuff up quick.
