What have you done to your MSP today?

[Wagonbacker9]

I put a hitch on my car... the rear lip is now half removed for me.

What do you pull on the hitch?

 

[Wagonbacker9]

What do you pull on the hitch?

to date: not a ******* thing.

the theory was a 4 wheeler or wave runners... bike rack if necessary, or maybe a small cargo carrier. however in the nearly 2 years its been on there, I've yet to use the damn thing once.

Really the only reason its still there is because I don't want to try to remove it. Pretty good chance I'm going to have to cut through three 5/8" grade 8 bolts with a high speed cutoff wheel.

Due to corrosion? Impact wrench will get them. Or shear them off the same a cutoff wheel will, lol.

i gave up, i'm just gonna be stuck with an 03 rear lip on my car and on 03.5 rear lip in my garage till i get rear ended again

 

[Wagonbacker9]

the back of the bolt is inside the frame channel... so its really not going to be that easy.

Why'd you do that? (lol2)

how else would you suggest doing it?(stoned)

Idk, never put a hitch on before. lol So there's no way to install a hitch without having to cut the bolts in order to remove it? Seems silly.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

well, in order to tighten them I wedged an allen wrench between the frame rail and the bolt. took me about 30 mins to retrieve my allen wrench when I pushed it too far once, so I will not be trying the same method to loosen, leaving my options very limited.

 

[o0n8]

just dropped it off at the shop, roughly a week and i'll be driving again!

 

[Lunatik]

found out i need new cv joint, wheel bearing and hub to replace? any suggestions for where to shop?

 

[Spiced MSP]

got my CS j pipe finally. Now, all I need is a CS s pipe and an AEM UEGO. Also, may be sending my stock cams off to Sam for a custom grind a little more aggressive than the FSZE cams. Then, Ill probably be done with the motor until I can afford the steedspeed exhaust manifold and hopefully the intake mani too when it gets made. Then, saving for internals.

ok so I finally got my LED white turn signal lights that switch over the amber, but I am wondering how to hook up my resisters so that they don't hyperflash... I remember seeing a diagram so that you just hook 1 up to the + and one -, but there are 3 wires coming out of the turn signal light.. so how am I suppose to hook them up?? any help would be awesome, thanks

Hook them up to the rear ones, only two wires. If you absolutely want to do it at the front:

Front LH is grey/black positive, black negative
Front RH in grey/white positive, black negative.

Ordering tires for the Fds next week. Finally!

oh, so the rear turn signal lights are on the same circuit (which actually makes perfect sense now lol) as the fronts? so hooking them up there will fix it?.. also I just hook up the resistors, 1 positive and 1 neg. right?.. but thanks I will do that tomorrow when I get back from work.. so far I love the lights, look great, I just wish I had them in 8000k HID color, but white is great too because it distinguishes them from the headlights.. thanks for the help
