I used valvoline 80W-90

It was a pretty easy project most of the time is waiting for the paint to dry on the covers.

This is where I got most of my information

Its a pretty simple mod I can tell you what you need and walk you thru the process trust me if you do it yourself you will feel great and thats the only way to learn. If you want more pics and info just post here or PM me

Alright back to the build here guys Well yesterday my buddy fell of the snowblower powered bike (more info on other vehicles section) and the bike ended up under my jeep and other than a big black scratch type thing I thought it was ok. But i guess after talking to some neighbors i guess he actually hit and bounced off the jeep and under a closer look he totally removed my drivers side front fender flare so long story short looks like im going to be going flareless on my stock 27's until i get my lift and tires
