Dude. You should explain how to install that light bar (24 inch??) The one right below the grill. Like how ya wired it and mounted it. I dig that so much and want a light bar to bring some more light to my truck!

i stand corrected. I forgot that on my 98 i had replaced teh factory cats with 2 high flows like I had described and all was good. Its been a while since I had that truck.

Again, tell that shop you want all your factory stuff. Factory cats = good money, other stuff is just a bonus.

I want to mount it right across the front of my windshield on the top if that helps.

eBay actually. Make sure you have the correct header panel if you have a 97.
