RV-6 front strut has arrived !

The strut has come 10 minutes ago and I snapped some shots of it.
It's a candy blue bar with black chrome brackets.
EXCELLENT finish! Another RV6 product for the books.







Will be installing today or tomorrow.

Btw, new headlights go in tomorrow for sure! Stay tuned for my "upcoming final projects" thread to be updated

Do you have to have your own thread on the RV6 strut bar?

That candy blue looks amazing. I'm thinking about getting one of these just based on looks. Too bad I have other mods that should be taken car of first.

He invested a ton of cash on making an undisclosed amount (which of course I know of) and after those sell, they'll be sold out forever, unless of course you get one from the BM

Like I said limited run sleepers will be left out in the cold with the oem crap-bar

what happens to those three or so things that are harnessed to the strut bar? are those unnecessary?

those are just extra if you want to attach the fusebox to the bar. but i just tightened the fusebox and it doesnt need any connecting to the bar. you would be drilling holes for nothing really.

honestly the front end really doesn't have much warp in the turns even without a bar. This is more for aesthetic purposes, and it does tighten it up a bit. More than anything it allows for edfc to go in with ease.

Richie is the best for good quality products at a great price. if i had to choose this is the one to go for. (i already got mine!)

actually one of the best things to get for more power and stability is the inovative mounts. They make that little amount of wheel hop disapear.
