here, on frf
I got this started a few weeks back and won't get gears done until next month but haven't yet posted it up. 39" BFG KM3, bedsides, and trimmed my old glassworks +2 fronts. Still debating between 4.88 and 5.13 but strongly leaning towards the latter. The front suspension was upgraded again a few months back and I was waiting for springs to settle, now that they are I think I'm going to bring the front down an inch. Another round of brake upgrades may be in order next.View attachment 393587
The rest of the new hardware arrived, and the new 12point bolts are now properly shanked. The SDHQ spindle gussets definitely clear the Geiser springs. The brake rotor clears the rod ends and the double shear tabs, but I'm probably going to leave off the oem dust shield and just raw dog it. We've been doing that for decades without issues.
can i follow you guys around and just take your scrap parts? im fine with that.

I hate selling takeoffs, sometimes it’s hard to giveaway. I had a bakflip f1 I took off years ago, had it posted for ages and nobody showed interest, was going to move and ended up throwing it away instead of moving it to another state. I have a friend I’ve been trying to sell some old freshly rebuilt icon coilovers to, says he wants them but doesn’t follow through. Shaun miller helped me sell some stuff in his group of contacts and that was relatively painless except for a guy that didn’t realize he’d have to replace rod ends on old used uca’s and wanted a refund.

Got my drivers seat trim in the other day. Figured out how bad my PO jacked that stuff up. Went together okay, rear 7mm bolt was a slight PITA, but went behind the seat with an extension and got it in. The seat belt access cover is slightly off color, but so was the original? All in all, I am much happier. Pics for reference of the damage and after.55E1EB18-6864-4F3F-8E1B-8085791D0486.jpeg6B629F90-BAA8-4945-952A-75AAB6446417.jpegA6635C86-98C1-4C23-9749-3E6377A6D71A.jpeg5DCAA646-E09A-46D3-9D8A-CFA40F91A3C9.jpeg5E0EE2D5-AE20-49B0-98C9-D027BE0D10D9.jpeg

Mine looked pretty darn close as far as damage. I'll have to look closer but I don't think my cover if miscolored like that. I found by moving the seat back all the way forward I could get the little 7mm bolt pretty easy with a battery powered ratchet.
Yeah, I figured it might, but once I got the deep well, and used some plastic to hold the bolt in, it wasn’t too bad.
