Today, I cleaned my carpet with the upholstery vacuum. It was sucking mud out of the carpet. Ordered two Moog Ball Joints and two Moog Upper Control Arms. I will have them all in on Tuesday. Then i'll be taking it to the shop for installation

I will be cranking my torsion bars right before they do the install so they will balence the tires at the same time. The Moog stuff came from RockAuto and was about $160

That's not as bad as I figured it'd be

Been some bad weather and havent had time to schedule my ball joint replacement yet but I will this weekend so I can ride my R6! Today, I placed my order for a 1997.8-2003 Header Panel so I can replace my headlights with the black Lightning heads that I got. Also in that order I got a set of 3 newer style 4x4 Off Road decals to replace mine. Hoping it will give it more of a modern look

My header panel and headlights came in and I installed them the other day. I can do a very quick how-to but it was fairly simple to do the header panel swap. I will post some before and after pics. Also I got my 4x4 Stickers in and i'll get your opinion if I should put them on or not

Thanks man. The only problem I see is that the new header panel make the gap between it and the hood bigger, like it shifted it down. But it doesnt bother me too much
