Well i got my wonder bar today i was all excited so i run and go to put it on guess what IT wont fit. The lower radiator hose is in the way. When it goes from the passanger side to the driver side of the block its too low and i cant u a different hose or it will rub againt the belt =( so thats one suspension mod out of the way=(

 

nope i know what u mean... when u put it up...u have to do this:
remove the 2 bolts holding the bushings on...drop them. Take ur wonder bar stick it above the rad hose at an angle..then turn it to where the bolts holes align...then slowly push the wonder bar to where u can bolt it on. all thats going to happen is the rad hose will get pushed down a lil...no biggie

Mine is under the hose... I have had no problems with the install. I heard the radiator hose thing, but I guess mine is shaped in a way it does not matter. I mean it touches the hose and slightly pushes up, but in no manner of restricing coolant flow. I am going to try and take the digital camera home form work and get a pick of it on my car. It stands out cause it is the only part painted RED.

 

Thanks for the info guys!
