As far as driving offroad goes, it's all preferance. I happen to like my manual with a thumb throttle, however others prefer the ease of an auto.

I use a Rola rack, a little small but it does the job.

I wasn't aware you had an R50...sneaky sneaky.

I grabbed mine from the local junk yard. Or you can look on etrailer.com.

I have a pair of the PIAA 210's sitting in my garage waiting to replace my factory fogs. They are a bit on the expensive side but they are much, much better than factory. If you are looking for a cheaper option, check out the Hella 550's. They are bigger than the stock ones, but the put out a lot more. If you are just looking for a replacement, check out the KC 26 series. All three will fit in the stock location.

I actually got excited. What are you doing with that science experiment in the armpit of America? Oh, and to the original poster - nobody has ever heard of anyone completing a SAS on an R50, but a few people are rumored to be attempting it right now.

The truck normally sits with about a 2" "droop" in the front for optimal handling. A popular option for leveling out your truck after a lift is either a 1" or 2" spacer. 1" is much more popular and is better on you suspension in the long run. As for sagging, your truck will look like it has 3" of lift after installation, but after a few months the springs will get broken in and will be closer to the 2" of advertised lift.

Maybe it's a radiator bracket? It's def not a bumper bracket. You should make this into a game show!

I use wawa...

I just did a quick estimate with fedex and it will cost approx. $650 to ship.

Didn't realize there was a difference. I replaced my front end. Bumper, filler, valance, hood, headlight, and corners were replaced and I banged out the dents in my hood. I would have just had to replace the headlight, corners, and grill and I would have had a badass bumper instead of a stock valance, filler, and bumper.

I was going to say go railless because IMO it looks better, but you have other needs. I would try the JY first for one, then search around online. IIRC, they are only sold in pairs online and possibly your JY.

I used the PIAA 520's. They are amazing. Also, look into IPF, Hella, Pro Comp, and if you are made of money, Light Force.

From my experience, I would definitly go with an armored bumper. Then again, I fixed my busted front end myself.

Wow my Kenwood 650 must be a heat monster. I had to rig up a computer fan in there to keep it from overheating.

KMA is developing a rear bumper for the R50.

Well thanks for that...now I know what I'm saving for Definitley check out their customer service records. To each his own, I suppose.

I wouldn't worry about it if you live in conditions under 40*.

It would be a much, much, much better idea to sell your 2wd and buy a 4wd.

Wow it would be nice if KMA made the 96-99 bumpers half as nice as those.

Ventilation, ventilation, ventilation.

It costs approx. $360 USD. That's a pretty fair price if you ask me.

Nice!

I had the same problem, it was the throwout bearing. Just make sure you don't get a centerforce clutch. If you want to step it up, go with an Exedy.

The WD's have ECU's...
