banged the pinch weld more flat so the tire wont get slit while driving low. need to grind one point down a little bit.

Test fit the shortened spindles but it won’t work with the 20s so they are on the back burner for now. 20150923_232104 20150923_235016

 

Bag installed with stock spindles.20150924_004205

 

tire touches frame rail. no point in driving that low though on 20s.

It’ll tuck this much when air’d out. Which should look pretty nice.  Can’t wait!20150924_002952

Decided hose clamps were better than zipties

Spent about $0.90 cents on each clamp.  Hopefully they’ll make the install of the airlines cleaner.  It’s the little things that matter…  oh and that nut is a replacement for the lower shock body.  Since I lost the nut long time ago and rigged something to work for 20k miles. LMAO.20150922_111047

Power wire install

Since I took out all my seats it was a lot easier to run the thick power cable.  Uninstalled the DEI car alarm since I’m going smartkey with push start.

Wiring nest of an alarm!

LED running light test

Got these LED bulbs in finally.  The car has factory HID lights and the highbeam is a running light low powered.  So with this LED bulb low power should be enough to power it and be bright!

Mirrors for LS400

I’ve been wanting these Benz W212 E550 E350 E300 style mirrors for a while. So I had Preston @ King Emperor keep an eye out for them.
Finally got some.
