I just installed my Jamex STB...........

It took about 45 minutes and was pretty straight forward. All I will say about it is that I payed $20 US for a STB and I got a $20 STB. The paint was chipped and scarred on the mounting units and the bar itself had a deep groove gouged into one side. It didn't come with any hardware for the install. You will need 4 2" long 3/8" bolts, 4 lock washers, and 8 flat washers. I got zinc plated hardware but stainless steel hardware would be better. I test fit the STB using good double sided tape before I drilled any holes. Once I marked out the holes I drilled the holes progressively larger using several different size drill bits. It is decent looking though. I'm still not convinced these things actually do anything.

Acceld: The only place I noticed a difference was on the highway...it seemed to smooth out some of the vibrations. Do you have t-tops?

I don't think it's possible to change members' names without deleting their posts and such first..? (by creating a new member.)
