Question - why are you doing the shrink wrap? I looked over quickly last night about installing this. If it was me doing it, I would do the C wire clamp things (same things I used for my Fog rewire) work amazing, WAY easier, no soldering etc. When you are done, just wrap it with electrical tape. Just IMO.
IMO again lol...think that might be over kill and could lead to not a very clean smooth cut. Snip scissors would be best and some sand paper to make it smooth after.
Pros did you ever get any grease for the AFE? If so can you bring it?
I'm in till about 4.
What if we all give Thunder $5-$10 for bbq food? If that's cool with thunder?!?!, saves everyone bringing different stuff and such.

well... if you're painting the calipers n ****.. then I suppose I'm in...
but.. uhh.. how are you guys gonna be doing that? The car needs to be on jacks for like 3 hours before you can put the rims back on no?
Which paint are you guys going with anyways?
I'll have to leave by like 6pm that day though... friends moving on to SK that night..

The swaybar bushings were probably over torqued during the install. They started creaking and moaning but I didn't look after it so my end links suffered...
Now I have to re lube, re-torque the mounts and replace the end links.
I hope someone can help!

I think my clunking is from the sway bar end links. Maybe yours as well?
