using those as a point for winch steering fails them- just to note.

Yup!
what he said!
And breaks your cable after tearing your frame apart.
Just sayin.

Gone. Those were the easy bolt to get out. Being replaced with the front kit plus clevis through the tube.

LCA mounts arrived. Need time with sMike to get that wrapped up.

Arie called the frame issue from the hook.



Not sure how well the pull on the hole shows. Probably a 1/4 higher at the back hole.

Managed to break the lower bumper mount bolt on the passenger side and the sway bar cover bolt on the driver. Not willing to try the seat bar mounts but will save those for when it is time to mount new front. Last thin I need is to not have a drivable MLC.

With plate higher you can see troy's diff a bit easier....



Restricting myself to flare removal before I have to drill out every bolt on this thing...

Sway bar bolts are smaller.  You're guaranteed to break at least one.

Took a brake from accident repairs to address the "no rear brake" problem. Used "new" shoes from Matt (when I picked up a spare d35 and parts) and completely cleaned the passenger rear. With the new shoes I have parking brake. Driver side will require purchase of parts but there is still 1/2 shoe left (pass side was close to bare metal).

Brakes should be replaced alike and together.
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

Was kind of waiting to see where you were headed with the new brand. I figure I'll completely redo both sides and front with all new parts once the decision is made there.

its an entry level full ceramic service grade pad... 
no expected lead time or change over..

you don't want a ceramic on a SUV or truck application.. regular ol' semi met works just dandy.

Ok. I'll firm up the parts on the others thread.

Why do I not want ceramic on suv/trucks?  I hate semi-metallic because they leave so much damn black dust on the wheels.
