Nice. Digging my Spartans. And, as far as posts not showing up, its not contained to any particular thing, IB has been made aware of the issue for a while now, but nothing has improved yet. The issue is in process of being fixed, or so we've been told...
Is there any reason why you chose the spartan over all the others?
Just picked a flavor and went with it. Have heard nothing but good things about them.
The spartan is one of the better lunchbox designs IMO. Small features like the wires to retain the springs/locking pins for ease of install, comes with a new hardened cross pin unlike some of the others and the actual locking pins are a little more robust.
Heres a good article breaking down features of the different lunchbox lockers.

Got started on my rear unibody stiffeners, got one side all tacked up just in time for my auto darkening helmet to die. I need to let her sit out in the sun tomorrow to charge up and I'll finish burning it in after work. I'll be happy to get these stiffeners done. It's dirty work and time consuming.
My JCR gas tank skid it's on its way, should be here Tuesday or Wednesday. That's the last puzzle piece and I can get all my rear suspension installed.
Got the right rear stiffener fully burned in after work, it's amazing the amount of work you can get done in a short period of time when your auto-darkening welding helmet is actually functioning properly.
All welded out, pre grinding.
Cleaned up and ground down a little bit, didn't grind the rosettes all the way flush, and I'm totally ok with that.
Threw a coat of self etching primer over the top until I get some undercoating.

Looks good man. So the rear stiffeners don't curl under the rails like the mids do?

The only ones I've seen that do, are the Hooligan ones...they wrap under front to back. I would have bought them, had they been available when I bought mine, they weren't out yet. I have seen them installed on another rig in person, and they are pretty sweet.

No sir, Im not sure if that will prove to be an issue or not down the line. I doubt it though.

Looking good Ryan!
Thank ya sir. As soon as my 3 link ships, progress will be made in a hurry. Then we need to go hit some trails.
