I went and done it.....ordered a BDS (?) 2 1/2" lift for my YJ! I may be sleeping in the doghouse for a while once Sunshine finds out about it.....she's not real observant, though, so I figure I'll just get it put on and not say a word..... She knows I'm getting new tires, and those are 31's, so she'll just think the tires made it taller!
So, anyway, I'm getting it for $650 installed....is that a good price or not? I'm not up on the latest prices for stuff. While I was at the Jeep toy store, I also bought a flat black lightbar with 4 lights that mounts to the windshield frame for $100.....the lights are some off-brand, I think, but at least I can replace them as they fall apart with some real lights later on.
I know this probably goes in the tech forums, but there is no hardware with the lightbar, and the guy said to use "molly screws" to mount it. They're like drywall anchors, only for sheetmetal. Problem is, I can't seem to find them anywhere. I was wondering if it would be prudent to drill through both walls of the windshield frame and run a bolt clear through to the inside, and put a nut and washer on the other end. Any suggestions, comments? Bad idea, or good?
