i installed a tc drop because of vibrations i was experiencing after i put my rc 3" lift on a couple of weeks ago. I am thinking about getting a dynomax turbo exhaust kit and was wondering what kind of cold air intake would be good to install with it

I have been taking lots of pics. Can't wait to get home and download them onto the computer and see how they really turned out.

Sorry that happened but I am glad I wasn't the only one to bust those center pins, I think shims were my problem. So I might try to reweld the perches at a different angle.

Haven't done anything yet. Still trying to find a way to solve my slow throttle response problem. Thinking about doing a Sea Foam treatment.

I rotated tires, fixed blinkers, tightened all trim, fixed arm rest lid, changed front brake pads, greased front end, relocated vac bottle to under hood , and put frint bumper back on. I ripped it off on my last outing. Now I have to change my diffs and tc fluids.

i toasted the shims i just put in a few weeks ago. so instead of getting new ones i went the permanent route. i pulled the rear end out, cut off the spring perches, mounted and welded new spring perches about 6 degrees forward. no vibes now
