Congrats man. Did you do it by yourself? I noticed we have had a couple of new members from your neck of the woods these past few days and was not sure if you all wrenched together.

lol........ you need to get it aligned. Mine is still off at about 1/4 of a turn! been that way for about a year now. You can see the wear on the tires now.

To center the steering wheel you need to adjust the drag link. IIRC just loosen both sides, and twist the middle until the wheel is centered, then tighten up everything again. Takes a little trial and error to get it perfect, but it's free.

If you paid for an alignment and it isn't perfectly aligned I'd take it back and have them do it again. You can mess it up for free, they're supposed to be good at that sort of thing.

*has a grudge against all shops, never found one that does what I ask without doing a bad job or trying to tack on some extra crap*

The guy on the right, holding "Pichers" looks like Obama Bin Laden, without the robes/head gear...

Where do you take that rig in SD? I am from Del Mar originally- where the turf meets the surf!

[dilligas]

What "guy" are you talking about? I haven't taken it out here, I don't know of anywhere to really go except Perris off of the 215.

Looks good, cant wait till I do mine as well:)

Looks good. Like the all black a lot.

Now, welcome to the money pit. Now that it's lifted, it's a long, long fall down the pit...nothing is ever good enough after the lift. ;)
