    You should do a light bar similar to this.

    :twisted:
  • ^ I like that, I need to learn how to weld.

    The bars look pretty cool facing outwards but the load would push them outward if you placed anything heavy up there.

    Woodi ... I have to mount the tubes then send the guy the measurements for him to custom make the rack ... Ice sent him an email asking his opinion also ...

    Rev.... I want the lights to fold down .... Here n VA the lights can't b wired or must b securely covered so that no light shines out if accidentally turned on if they r up like that ....

    I think "in" looks better for the rack. The rack is going to be awesome!

    In gets my vote.

    Ok gang ... So in is the win ....
    I'm gonna grab some thin metal of some kind so I can use it on the underside.. Pinching roof and I guess use some flat washers, lock washers and nuts that won't ever come off ...
    Oh and I night have another trick up my sleeve for my roof .... A coworker liked my filler panels and gas door ... Hint hint ...

    I meant to comment... So Here Goes...

    First - You Suck

    Second - You Suck

    O.k. I was going to do that same rack setup when I got my 1st wagon...
    And, Now I know how good it would have looked... Now it is my goal to 1 up you on a few things...

    Third - ((( In ))) For Sure.. Out looks retarded ( sorry to any handicapped users we may have )




    Good Work man... Keep it up!

    So hey Chip, how the ride after lifting it?? I would like to do that to mine as well.... :)
  • 3rd4ce3rd4ce Council Member
    it rides a slight bit stiffer.... but the front struts stay fully extended most of the time

    now the rear .... im thinking of inserting a set of coil overs i have laying around to get it to sit higher .... looks 1/2 - 1 inch lower than front ..

    it was a very easy OEM parts swap nothing hard @ all... :mrgreen:

    ok here is a close up..... Now how n hell did this happen ... ???368.jpg
  • rbwdrivenrbwdriven Senior Wagonist
    always something simple first with the ef's.

    the screws that hold the ignitor pretty much are seized in so now you have to try and get them out.

    would suggest pbbaster etc.

    I'd say put it back together get her home then take the dizzy apart if you have a spare car.

    Good call, Richard.

    Chip, put the cap on w/ 2 screws and spray penetrant at the broken screw for a few days.
