removing tie rod ends
here are the links installed. i had to losen them slightly to relieve the 'memory steer' problem. they work like a charm.

here are the lights. i used some new 550 hella's. i had to use the plastic moutng cases so i could mount the brackets to them. i sarted by doing a rough fit, then once i found a good spot, with enough room for the hood to shut, i marked my holes and drilled. i used the metal frame behind the plastic grille as a mounting point. 2 'L' brackets per light, and i have had no poblems yet. after running through the desert at high speeds, they haven't come off, or pitched at all. pretty solid.

those lights are coming out..... i am thinking of going with the arb front bumper, but damn it's expensive. i imagine it's pretty tough though. does anyone have any plans or blueprints for a good heavy duty bumber? i just need a place for the winch and some extra lighing.
