Let me know how your front spartan performs driving daily. Sometimes mine will catch at slow speeds, I'm trying to figure out why

At some point i probably will. My philosophy right now is with that kind of stuff is stick with stock stuff so i can go to the junkyard for spares.

And i'll be sure to post up how it feels and all.

It's my daily driver so i hope it's not too too bad

How's the paint on your center caps holding up?

Edit: How did it hold up, I should say.

Couple things that have been done recently. Relocated speakers into a pre 97 soundbar above the front seats. Added a rear pre 97 soundbar in the rear in the usual spot.

Need to repaint the diff and redo the bedliner with some better stuff. Also going to do the rear quarter in bedliner instead of plastidip as well.


My horns are broke to hell as well. Decided i'd get some hella supertones and i'm going to mount them on the grill. Will be mounting them this week and wiring sometime later when I can. I need horns back. I actually use them a lot.


Also went to Rausch Creek finally and did some wheeling. I will post videos of it later

Also got a free alignment at work. Our driveway alignment was almost dead on. Also finally straightened out the steering wheel (never got around to it)

same, not very often at all, but i either wait until it unloads, or just quickly steer the opposite way and then back for it to undo. I haven't had any major problems.

just every now and then while parking, or leaving a parking space, it likes to grab sometimes.


when I first put it in, I had a little toe in and then I put it on the alignment machine at my work, and after that it seemed to grab a little more when it was closer to 0 toe whatsoever.

overall I'm happy with how it turned out. not much trouble on the road at all, and great performance off-road.
