Just thought I share my new mods with you guys.
Purchased a brand new URD Crankpulley from a member of another forum :angel: for a whopping $210 :clap:
Here it is installed just this morning which took about an hour.

So far its running pretty good....it just runs and idles smooth. Just find it hard to ease off the gas pedal now :D. Throttle response has improved a lot, picking up speed from a dead stop with ECT button on is a blast. I only got to drive it for 35 miles today...we'll see if anything comes up later on.
Next mod was the custom sway bar endlinks. Mines broke shortly after installing the PP springs and Bilstein shocks. It just snapped off while exiting a parking garage, had to limp it home for repairs. It was just sloppy on the freeway with slow steering response. I read through all the post and everyone recommended WabFab disconnects and seeing as I don't offroad much at all, I thought I make my own.

Last was the JDM FMU (Field Monitor Unit) purchased off of ebay for $115 without a temp sensor. It came in grey and I had to paint it to match. I can thank Bob for his detailed write up about removing the mirror (99 Roof Console Mod) and RockSlide for the wiring. On with the pics
