Dbl G on the nhtoc.com has some, You dont need to remove the bed from what I've read. OMMV!

I vote for Dbl G too. His work that I've seen is superb.

i have talked to both dblg and ruslow about their panhard bars. they both have pros and cons to their designs. i am going with stan ruslow's bar for two reason. one i know three people who road race alot with their Ls and use stan's panhard with great results. and second i dont like the fact that i would have to drill four holes through the side of my frame rail to mount dblg's bar. you do not have to remove your bed to install stan's bar either. you only have to remove some bolts and jack it up enough to get the bracket installed. both guys make great parts and you can not go wrong with either.

RUSLOW:

remove rear 4 bolts in bed floor,
put bottle jack between the Hitch and the bed,
Jack up the bed and insert 2x4 for support.
install the frame mounted piece
reverse.

Should take 30 minutes from beginning to end.

What diff cover are you running, if you plan to use anything other than the stock cover, you should plan on AT LEAST buying DblG's diff mount ring, it will sandwich inbetween the cover and pumkin and will accomodate any cover, TA, MagHytec, etc etc

you don't have to remove the front 2 bolts... you can if you want to waste time.

Menace -- long time, no hear. Hope all is well.

Why are you still lurking on the Lightning boards? Thinking of buying another one?
