    Welcome.

    I am out of date... So I just looked and seent it here. Design looks good! Pelfrey makes good stuff. Just my opinion, the only way to make it better would be to make the rear tire carrier bolt on, so you can bolt alternative accessories to the passenger side arm. Just adds more utility, I know not everyone needs that... I was lucky when Billy changed is production design to modular. Anways, you really can't go wrong.

    I say get the bumper if you think it will aid you in your adventuring. And obligatory befitting emoticon :spending: :D


    Welcome.

    The i̶n̶n̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶l̶e̶e̶v̶e̶ shells came out with everything else, eh? All of mine are stuck in. :annoyed:
    Hosed them down with a little PBB. Will try to get them tomorrow.
    Think a little more heat will do the trick?

    Not sure I understand what went wrong with yours. Mine happened just like the pics. Heat is key.

    Sounds like the rubber from his separated - when i pressed mine out the metal sleeves came out like Croms' did as well. I'll be doing round two soon for a new set of LCA's I'm rebuilding using a different ball joint.

    Yeah, it did. The i̶n̶n̶e̶r̶ ̶s̶l̶e̶e̶v̶e̶ shell is rusted in there pretty good.

    I'm sure yours were not rusted as bad as @DrFunker 's though.

    Oh and BTW, did I miss something? "Fallon, NV"?! :eek:

    My truck is a 2010 and spent five years on the east coast, spelled salted and calcium brine winter roads. You can see the sawzall cut. Three out of four were that way.


    Yeah, we're in Fallon, NV now. Things moved at a rapid pace once we decided to put our place on the market.

    Fallon is a nice place if you are OK with small farm town life. There is a really good Basque steak house down town.

    @Crom are you still running the Valvoline Maxlife fluid in your transmission? How's it been treating you?
