Va doesn't require a muffler just as an FYI. Just have to have a cat and the exhaust has to exit past the passenger compartment. And it sounds good.

I have visited big Al's a few times. The one located in Newport news on Warwick is good the guys that work there will keep the price low, and when I go there I usually pull up show them what I want to do and they don't have any problems with it. Last time I went to have a few tak's on a hanger and a fender support and they didn't even charge me.

Looks good! I'd widen those shackle mounts personally, but they'll work. I like the lights built in as well. Just out of curiosity, have you considered moving your plate to your roof rack?

The plate to the roof rack? Would that be legal? If so great idea.

Front plate doesn't require any lighting and as long as it's clearly visible you're good. Double check you local laws but i've never heard of it being illegal on the rack.

So long as its visible, it can be anywhere on the Front, even On the dash in the window counts.

Finally finished up my 4.56s and long arms. Everything working good, it feels great to finally have 4wd after nearly 6 months of no offroading. Hopefully this winter storm drops a good amount of snow for some fun snow wheeling.

Since it snowed I think I have used more gas in a day than I usually use all week.

Haha, same here. Purposely drifting around, went on some muddy roads. Saw a lifted chevy and a ford ranger stuck in a ditch. Good day.

The laws may have changed but I've definitely received a ticket for plate in the windshield.
