Need a volunteer to do a How To! Please!

I am looking for someone to volunter to do a How To for all of us here at RangerForums! I need someone to do a Torsion Bar Crank How To. It is one of the most frequently asked questions and no body has done a how to on it! I'd do it myself but I dont have access to TBars anymore...

If you could do this for me please either PM me or Post in this topic. Thank You!

You would'nt need to actually "do" it to anything. Just pretend, take pictures of where the bolt is, what tool to use and so on. Heck you dont even need to do the write up portion of it, I just need somebody with torsion bars to take the photo's of the "process"

Yeah, 5 minutes to take the pictures, 2 hours to write the disclaimer about how its not a safe mod, and the rest of your natural life to argue with me about the legal repercussions of posting a mod thats known to be dangerous on the forums.

How about we wait until someone gets a set of the lowering keys that just hit the market and do a "how-to" with those?

It is dangerous to flip the stock torsion keys. There is nothing wrong with taking the adjuster bolts out to go down a little.

I don't have a link, I saw them in an ad in the last issue of "Truckin." I can't seem to find my copy to look through it right now.

Whichever one had the pink H2 on the cover. It was in the Godfather's Custom's ad, and the parts were by DJM (JDM?)
