Not too sure on The brand. I go them from Pep Boys haha. They were cheap that's why.

that's what I'm looking for. They fit decent? Any better pics of them?

I got my apn header installed! runs great now! I got it done just in time cause its dumping snow out side now!

what were the noticeable differences? How is it "running great"? I am thinking some of my rough running may be due to a crack in my header. If it is I'll stop putting off installing my new one.

They fit really well. Not too loose. I only have them on in the summer so I don't have any pics right now. One day soon I'll put them on and get a picture for you

Hey, did you get this done? I need to install my Edelbrock shorty header that's been sitting in the box in my garage for the past few months. Any tips, tricks, or advice with this since you just knocked it out?

It was was pretty straight forward! I did it with just hand tools. Air tools would of been nice but owell! one tip is take off your your eletric fan it makes taking off the ps pump way easyer! I would also recomend you pick up some orings for the injecters I had a couple of them break when takeing the fuel rail off but no big deal! just take your time and good luck!

I used to have a slight miss and now it gone! I don't think the o2 senser was reading everything right cause of the leak! I put it off for a month and a half I wish I would of just done it and got it over with earlyer! it worth the trouble!

I was getting about 13-14mpg ish... now I'm lucky if I get 10. When I'm cruising down the road and not on the gas the HEEP seems like it isn't shifting gears at the right time. It puts me in too high of a gear, the rpms are under 2 grand (1500-ish), which seems too low, HEEP shakes and shimmys a bit, and I lose speed until I either get on the gas or shift down into 3rd. It's FINE if I stay in 3rd, but I know I shouldn't have to do that. WTF?

mines like that to. Stock gears? I just used 3rd all the time, overdrive is just to high of a gear with 33s and 3.55 gears.

I finished welding my front bumper outer 'wings' to the subframe today.

I'll keep the middle section looking stock with a section of the OEM bumper until I have time to mount the winch, and fab up a storage box to hold my d-rings beside the winch in the subframe itself.

Winch plate came with a cheap winch I bought on Ebay - probably from the same Chinese Factory though!

Did you plate the top to finish, or keep it simple and stay with the 2x2 side protectors only?

This bumper was a labour of love - I made the subframe with a friend who welds well, then I finished it with my craptacular stick welding skills.

I need another couple hundred hours of practice before I'd even consider making one for someone else. I pretty much knew what I wanted look wise and then started with cereal box templates. Every section is cut and welded in separately - and not even exactly the same from side to side. That's what you get for building a bumper with an angle grinder and an old buzz box.

I posted a brief build thread with some more pictures yesterday.

Put the bushings in my OME leafs, and sprayed the bolts with PB and Kroil again. Hopefully if I spray them enough they will just fall out while I'm driving instead of breakoff.

good one:rofl::rofl::laugh::laugh:
