Just purchased: bajarack - mule w/ tire and hi-lift mounts, new cv's, new 89 front springs, and some recovery equipment. Can't wait to get them in and put them on, pics will come shortly after install. Now only need skids and possibly a winch before I start hitting the trails.

Got my new 89' springs on, love the feel and overall ride of the springs. Sitting level now at about 4" of total suspension lift, approx, haven't actually measured.

Underbody reverse rock lights:

On a side note I got bored the other day and was looking at the stock lights in my bumper cover (which is off my vehicle now). I took out the side turn lights and mounted them to the rear of the rear wheel wells. I used the mount that was attached in the bumper, put a self tapping screw through the mount which attached to the body. Then I spliced the lines that run to the reverse lights and used them to run the underbody rocks lights while in reverse. Since they are spliced in they are not that bright, but they suffice for what I need them for. Nothing too fancy but I was bored and I figured I'd give it a go.

Just purchased the DDM Tuning Raptor 55W HID kits and LED off road lights, where I am going to mount them on custom made A-pillar brackets I made, pictures soon, hopefully turns out as well as I think it might. Installed E3-66 spark plugs today, tomorrow taking off both Cardone cv's due to heavy vibrations in 4wd, and reinstalling them to see what the issue is as well as resealing the 4wd disconnect. Wish me luck, these things are a bear!

Well I haven't been on in a long while, sold the envoy to a friend, unfortunately he totaled the envoy within a month of having it. My current rig I have been building for over a year, sorry guys, had to switch to The dark side!
