    As much as I agree King won't redesign squat unless VERY necessary and the race parts work well enough on the OEM stuff. I use a 1/4 extension to partially slide in the hole and pivot off the coil bucket if needed.

    Wow, my Story "skimming" skills were way off on this one. 2nd Look the article is all about US Gov't Agencies (DOI Specifically) banning China drone use within their organizations.

    There is mention of a bill introduce in fall to ban the import/ sales of these drones within US borders.

    This is a huge help thank you. I'm a bit lighter in the front end but your adjustment is only a little beyond what I was sent so it looks like a whole lot less will be needed than I thought.
    The hub to fender measurements you have are very helpful too. I feel you on marking up the holes. It's a shame to do that on a brand new shock.
    I figure the 700 lb coils will ride stiff, I'm hoping they lighten up a little and with the extended shock length less preload is needed. I wanted to make sure I could comfortably get rid of my sway bar. I'm replacing links all too often

    Speaking of which, I have two 3DR Solo's up for sale. Open source, US made with a partnership with a Tijuana manufacturing shop set up by them.

    No Chinese code contained.

    One is new, never flown.
    Other has been flown a dozen or so times.

    I decided to stick to the desk part of imaging/photogrammetry and GIS data rather than dealing with starting up a business, liability insurance, and all the weird stuff that each state has for surveying requirements and crap. (I am not a certified surveyor and CO hates me for that).

    Does anyone have a transmission jack I could borrow or know where to rent one for cheap? I also need some recommendations of where I can get my flywheel resurfaced. I'm doing my clutch this weekend in my driveway and need this to go as smooth as possible :fingerscrossed:

    I'll probably check out Napa, I'm a little hesitant to trust anyone at O'Reillys to do it.

    Curious why you didn't just buy a new flywheel? I got my LUK one for $50, probably a little too late now but just curious

    You have a 3rd gen right? I havent read anywhere where someone has retrofitted this to fit in one. So you'd be blazing trail in that regard, but if you could do it that'd be awesome!

    Yup. Curious how the interior cab dimensions relate to the 2nd gen double cab.

    Did you notice any sound difference when switching to it? My plan was to rip out the existing carpet to install sound deadening at some point, then reinstall the carpet. But this might be a nice alternative to all my floor mats and carpet

    Didnt notice any difference in cabin noise. The all weather flooring also has the foam padding under it just like the OEM carpet came with. If you wanted to add sound deadener, itd be an ideal time to do it
