Thanks to XE Ryder for putting together a hell of a write-up (http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=115491), and also Ron380 for his thread (http://www.lxforums.com/board/showthread.php?t=123171), I was able to finally install the REM rear strut tower brace that's been gracing my living room floor for some time now ... lol



Started with trimming the floor piece ... turns out I should've trimmed about a half-inch more, but it fit OK anyway :

And how camouflaged it became once I re-loaded all the crap I normally carry around ... lol :

Gabe, nice job! You notice the difference?

Hi Jimmy!

Thanks, and yes, definitely notice a difference ... mostly when launching from a stop while turning ... there seems to be less rear flex, the car just follows the turn and takes off ... :)



But the AWD may have something to do with that too :gr_grin:
