Those bars are pretty pointless, considering everything after the rear suspension is just along for the ride.....

but props on the write up

Good write up but I really can't see any substantial benefit for having/doing that. I'll stick w/ my Autopower 4-point and my rear strut bar and call it a day.

Or atleast stop making these useless DIY/How-to threads.

The bolts in the back are holding something up... i'm not quite sure what, I took a look underneath and couldn't figure it out.
That doesn't mean we can't put something ontop.
Just take 2 bolts out at a time.

they hold up the rear bumper support

what is your problem? This forum is all about tech threads and DIY threads are some of the best ones. Its better to have multiple writeups of one thing than just one. This is incase the first writeup maybe left something out or didin't offer descriptive enough pics.

Werd. Dude, I don't give a **** whether it works, doesn't work, looks gay or not.
You're on fire with the DIY's. Keep it up because you're actually making a positive contribution. That's what this board's supposed to be about, or so I thought.

I'm pissed that it doesn't have lights on it tho'.

I really don't understand how anyone would think this thing could possibly serve any useful purpose.
