Add Your own Installation Guide

These install guides are created and maintained by FBody.com members. FBody.com, Jim Hogan, the people associated with this site, the people who post this information, sponsors, AOL, Microsoft, your mom, or anyone besides yourself can not be blamed if something goes wrong or your workmanship causes someone to get hurt, arrested, expelled or even deported. To say it another way, if you follow these guides, you take responsibility for your own actions. Always check your service guide and follow the manufacture's installation guide first - consider this a suppliment for missing information althought the reality may be the other way around :).

That said - I hope these guides are useful to everyone and if you have questions, doubts, concerns, please feel free to askfor help on the message board before doing something wrong. Enjoy!
