I would love to meet the guy that decided to put the passenger front brake line through to the outside right where the bolt is for the upper control arm!!! You should have seen me hoping and praying that I could bend it out of the way enough without breaking it it. I got lucky.

drivers front? :P

you can unbolt the retainer in the drivers wheel well and it gives it a couple inches more wiggle room, but.. in the end, it's still "In the way"

pretty sure most of us identify with those sentiments

yeah, I don't know why I said passenger. Other than that, it was a pretty strait forward job. I just hated having to drop over $250 on new arms after just having put in an OME lift kit. The pocket book is hurting this month.

I'd like to find the guy who thought that the window switches in the center were a good idea. :banghead: :evil:

In the 02-04's I love it, in the 05's + I don't like it on the lower part. I drive left handed half the time so I love the switches there
