and I'm already itchin to make the H2 bitchin.

Going with the FabTech 6 inch lift. Price quoted WITH install was 3100. Seem fair?

Headed towards 18x10 wheels with minimal bling. Either gloss black steel or powder coated matching the old yeller feller....Similar maybe to Dennis' BC Burner. Made no decisions on tires, yet. Probably a combo of on-road off road for the northwest part of the USA.

Gobi Rack and PIAA lights seem like the way to go. Anyone ever painted or powder coated rack/bar to match their rig or is that only for mall gueens?

Peace!

Since the 6" lift puts some of your powertrain warranty at risk after two weeks or ownership, have you considered a Full Throttle Suspension or BulletProof Suspension Lift?

Gobi even makes a stainless rack, but I haven't ever seen it mentioned here. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif (I had to try) http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

That is about $1000 for the install, which at roughly 10 hours at $100 per hour. Ask them how much just for the install if you provide the kit. That will give you better idea, the complete kit is no more than $2200.

Good info Phil...The quote was 2500 for the kit and about 500 for the install.

Once again Phil. Thanks for the advice. I like the way your rig looks, but didn't wanna "copycat" ya too much. I personally think the yellow black contrast looks really sharp.
