    I think the Harrop is more my cup of tea, if I ever want to dump 1500 bucks into a locker.

    Well, this kit on Amazon is 120 bucks and the reviews are almost all good, except in cases where folks had fitment issues. At the same time I found that they are manufactured in China. Not necessarily a bad thing, but makes me a lil leary. I don't care about the drilled or slotted aspect. That's just a low price for supposedly good rotors and pads. Ebay has brembo rotors and pads for like 130 bucks or so. I don't believe brembo has anything manufactured in China, do they? Anyone bought the Brembo kit and saw where the country of origin was on the boxes?

    Are stock 4WD spindles worth anything or should I just throw them in the scrap bin?

    I think they have value. I've considered having another set to weld on a gusset kit and maybe new wheel bearings and then replace the stock one. All in the name of minimizing down time.

    Why are you taking them off?

    They're off my 2004, the reason I replaced them is silly a bolt broke off for the ABS wiring and brake line along with one bolt for the backing plate. I have zero patience in dealing with broken bolts. If someone wants them they could have them for the price of shipping. Keep in mind these are a bare spindle no hub no nothing

    Anyone out there who has 5.29s wishing they had 4.88s instead? Trade? My 4 cylinder doesn't handle the altitude well and it could use the difference in ratios. 8.4 rear with ARB and front with aussie.

    Doing the front grille/headlight conversion. What else do I need besides lights, hood, grille, filler pieces? I've read a couple write ups and still have confusion. A new hood latch someone mentioned. I was thinking of getting the 1 piece lights so the corners are connected. How would these mount up? Anybody that can chime in on this I'd appreciate it.
