Cool. I couldn't see from the distance. How about other components you added? Trackbar? sway bar links? What was included in your RC lift?

When he sets up the gears take a lot of pics and write it up. List the special tools and supplies required (magnetic base, dial indicator etc....) So that it can be added to the technical area and made into a sticky.

I got pics to do the brake line relocation, but my battery in my camera went dead and i missed some of the lift pics. I'll do a write up on the gears but I'm not sure how technical he gets when he does an install. But he does everyone around here's gears and no one I know has a problem.

Sounds like the guy here. He does use a dial indicator, but thats about all I know. I have never watched him do a complete job. I have caught a little here and a little there, but never have seen the whole thing done from start to finish. I thought that may be true for others as well, thus the suggested write-up.

I finally got my rear bumper on, I still need to put some tail light fillers in and build a swing tire carrier. I got the tuck and fold done on the quarters and the flares moved up. Next I'm gonna get the D44 in if junkyarddog hasn't junked it for tire money

Did you design the bumper? I'm working on a design that will work with folded quarters and be sturdy enough for a tire carrier. Afterall, there is no reason to fold your quarters if your bumper hangs down on the sides and takes away all the clearance you gained.

Don't forget the pics and write-up of the expected gear change. Swapping differentials does NOT get you off the hook jon.

I just stole bits and pieces off other bumpers I've seen, and I wanted to match the return on the front bumper. I agree I tried to make the returns as small as possible so my tuck and fold would give me as much room as possible.

Blue I'm just waiting to get the gear for the D44 and then I'll get a write up going on gear swap.
