Zaino makes a good clay bar, if you can find a place that sells them.

My cousin did my headers yesterday (the truck is back in Quebec while I'm in Ontario for the week and picking up the 8) and he sent me a video clip of it. OMG it sounds badass!

finished installing the sway away torsion bars.. went a little more conservative on the front end lift, but it still looks high looking from the side.. Tape measure shows 1/2 lower in front than the rear....

and got rid of the ugly rusted rollers on the front bumper...

We have a floor! I returned to the original red interior - some sort of Fire Engine Red. Rust Coat makes a good paint that matches pretty much to the Chrysler version. Tough as nails, more importantly. Two coats down, two more to go.

my truck was parked in peterborough for 2 days on a side street while i was in ottawa. went back for it today and some old lady told me she had almost called the cops because it had been parked there so long, that would have been a huge piss off if it got towed.

All my suspension lift parts came in minus the UCA's, those will be a bit later, as long as they're in in a month, I'll be happy!

Installed new rear brakes and put my RS9000XL's in the rear too. Front shocks getting done tomorrow.
SLR UCA"s should be coming in this week, and this week we might do a brake line flush to DOT4 and get the extended brake lines done while we're at it.
