BoarderPhreak Member Registered: 08/08/00 Posts: 7469 Loc: Huntington, NY	...and so it was done. Well, if you believe in that religious )_#% anyway... Today I installed the extra set of KC Daylighters to the Yakima LoadWarrior thanks to the Light Bar Brackets they also make... I had to shift things around a little bit and enlarge the holes a good deal in the brackets since the KCs have a hella-huge bolt. I just have to run the single positive and with my luck, a negative as well down to the relay in the engine bay. There's no place to really ground them up there since everything is rubber-gasketed to the roof, etc. I may take a shortcut to one of the roof rack bolts though... Needless to say, four KC Daylighters look rather... Intimidating. I'll post pix of this shortly (tomorrow maybe). Keep an eye out on Xterra Parts, as you might just see my X on their Website... I also installed the Rancho steering stabilizer kit from SLR today. Didn't realize I'd be taking off the skid plate, but no matter. The install was pretty straightforward. The hardest part was breaking the first bolt loose on the sway bar mount, but after that it was just following instinct, basically. I checked the tolerances, move the wheels lock to lock and then tightened it all down... Initial report: The steering is ever-so-slightly stiffer. If anything, it gives the truck more of a German auto feel - nice, smooth and tight. Bumps seem to vanish, though I've yet to really test it out yet. I have high hopes for this mod... All in all, a good day under (and over) the truck! _________________________ Modified 2001 SE 6cyl 5spd 4x4 Solar Yellow -=( Another useless post, brought to you by da 'Phreak! )=-

BoarderPhreak Member Registered: 08/08/00 Posts: 7469 Loc: Huntington, NY	I know what my steering was like BEFORE the stabilizer, after I put on the larger, really knubby TrXus tires... There was a little shimmy or bumpiness to it, and potholes were noticeable... But definately not as bad as stock tires/shocks were, so it was already improved. Now with the stabilizer installed, it should be really schweet... Big tires = more bump steer. Good thing to keep in mind for those of you considering mods. _________________________ Modified 2001 SE 6cyl 5spd 4x4 Solar Yellow -=( Another useless post, brought to you by da 'Phreak! )=-
