Have a look at your wiring and make sure it can't get pinched or squashed easily, cut out what's not needed, indicators, brakes, lights etc. If you are keeping your radiator, cover front with shade cloth (behind grill) leaving a gap between shade cloth and radiator so air can get around it when it ...

IMHO good for general ...

depends on how you look at it Big, if you got to a trip and the person doing the checking of hook bolts couldn't identify what they were, ie: 3 dash bolts then no, as there are no numbers to identify its grade and as a general rule a 3 dash bolt is only a medium tensile material so again, not ...

Nice, like your suspension setup. Here's a pic of mine and the tow coupling
