Put on an OME heavy lift on the 100... the difference in handling is amazing, it no longer feels like a sofa going down the road. I went for the 864's in the rear and looking forward to building drawers this winter to settle the back end just a bit.

Not having been able to find the time to do it myself lately, had the 80 detailed today. Did an ok job, but I will have to take some rubbing compound to the hood myself again. The oxidation seems to attack faster every time I clean it up

I have that same exact kit!

Not sure what your experience has been, but I've already stripped out most of the threads on the big nut doing change-overs... I think it's true what they say there's no such thing as a cheap tool. It's set up to knock out M8's though, which it does well, I'm just hesitant now to switch to another thread type, only have a few more of those left in this thing..

I have only used it to replace the stock roof rack nutzerts so not much use yet. It worked well for what I used it for so far. I got the kit as I was going to use it for the sub tank that I never put in. 😒

Wagner TruView Plus LED Headlights

I couldn’t be happier with my new Wagner TruView Plus LED headlights. Installing the headlights was as simple as replacing a traditional lens with the connectors plugging right in to the existing wiring. Overall the headlight assembly has a modern design and the construction quality appears to be extremely durable. The biggest benefit of the new headlights is the light output which is simply amazing!!!

I've been looking at those same lights. Do you think you can open them? I would like to take that black baffle and paint it silver so the lights don't look black when off.
