It took me about eight hours on a sunday afternoon. It was either do it then or wait until probably June. Luckily I didn't really have much homework to do or anything else more important.

Gonna try to add some new mods this summer. Need to get the windows tinted, LCAs, Steeda Sport Springs, and Tokico HP Shocks/Struts. Also have my MM strut tower brace that's been sitting in my garage for three years.

Anyways, some pics after a good long detail last week.

I see you finally took it off roading like a true 4x4

J/K bud/ Looks awesome. now get that thing lowered.

Installed Steeda Sport springs and Tokico HP shocks/struts. Ride feels a lot firmer, but not really harsh. Stance is just about perfect for me, though I did scrape on my stupid driveway today.

Also ordered some MM caster camber plates and gonna try to get it aligned next week sometime.

I know. But I see this and instantly fall in love.

Then there's this which is also

Only thing is, the FR500s don't come deep dish in the front which is one thing I really love about the bullitts.

Don't know, but they need to be deep dish with the machined lip, which the RTR is not.
