Fine, lets whore it out just to piss him off.
He mentioned thru bolts. I assume thru rods. He wont post a pic, so we don't know. Again assuming, I suspect coilovers will be needed. Again no pic as request in the first responce by that og, joeseph. I didn't think coilovers will fit a stock shock tower. Well maybe one of those cheap shocks with the pretty crome coils. A beam is a beam, right?
We all at one point in time didn't know shit. But we had the people skills, and willingness to help them help us, to milk some knowledge from them.
Fifteen years ago, I didn't want to teach the youngsters in fear of loosing my job to someone cheaper. The new owner/mngt at least realize that after 25 years in the specialty trade of vehicle gate operators, I know and have seen shit that these youngsters can't comprehend. _________________ My cut in half and rebuild thread

This person isn't a youngster. It's worse. He's a manxster. He's got four threads he's started where he talks about his manx like its a person named Samantha I think? .
ive got to do better! Ive only got a baja called Lazy Mary named after the red ford truck in the beginning of Evil Dead.
And I've only got 146 threads that probably never helped a soul according to him. _________________ Brian H.

But is it cute?
As a gray haired old fart, most everybody is a youngster to me.
I covered my beam in my build thread. But it was a 6" beam with torsion springs. But you know, a beam is a beam and they are all the same. _________________ My cut in half and rebuild thread

I love the evil dead!!
I watched a documentary on the evil dead 2 and did you know that in order to get Bruce Campbell to scream the director poked him with a sharp stick? That explains why he kinda looked pissed off too.

An interesting thing happens in forums where everyone starts parroting the same thing and "common knowledge" takes over.
Most experts aren't. |

Yes I love all of Campbell's evil dead movies. The streaming series was great too. _________________ Brian H.
