Thank goodness! Just got those desert whoops

 

@AllTacosFloat

Saw this this morning while poking around the interwebs. Would make bolt removal/installation easier. Not sure how it would work if the shock is installed.

 

I like that! You’re right tho about the shock but totally worth it imo. I have to remove my grill to get one in… think it’s as strong as the oem 2 foot bolt???

 

I would say yes with these tower gussets welded on.

 

@TacoTuesday603 ,, maybe we look at this in the spring

I’m happy to be the local idiot Guinea pig

 

Wow, I haven't heard F-O-A in years... I was looking into them when they were new/early, but, the threads were massive, and there were concerns by many IIRC. Has be15+ years ago now.

Interesting that they have some for my stupid duty.. if I keep the truck, I might look into them...

 

I can’t pass up a decent quality product for a fraction of the price. I’ve been doing stuff like that lately and been pleasantly surprised with quality for the value!

 

Can do, Should be as strong but there are two things I notice.

Your bushings probably arent going to be perfectly aligned with eachother, just the nature of this type of work. I do not think this will be a big deal at all.

Double the failure points but Id definetly go with stover nuts and that shouldnt be an issue.

 

Oh also, ive heard that some companies gussets dont even come close to fitting. One of us should do some research before buying @AllTacosFloat

 

Will do… maybe just make our own?

 

... I do have this, Id say we go that way if we cannot find a company can make them good.

I dont think it makes sense for me to spend the design time cause of the price to buy them(if they fit) and theres only a few people around here that would actually want them

 

I’ll start stalking around and see who’s got them

 

Sounds good, if we need to make them Id much rather do that then grind/ have to fill gaps on other companies

 

I feel like I've seen that STI somewhere before.
2004 STI
2021 WRX (sold for the 2023)
2023 WRX


My family likes toys with motors.

 

Duuuuuude, JBP gang!

 

I hear that.
Might have to do some digging.... but, not wasting my time until the truck doesn't sell.

If I could just get the time to put the new caliper in, and get a sticker, Id have it listed.
As it is.. I'm out of work until Wednesday... tweaked my back.
Still haven't figured out how not to work, like a 20 year old....

 

Exactly, I also care about customer service alot and every time I called or emailed I got an answer within an hour from the owner.

Its a similar story with my welder too, primeweld.

 

Gorgeous car! I’m loving all the JBP cars!

But… respectfully… 2023
Respectfully, of course

Work like a tweaker, don’t tweak yourself like a worker.

That means so much to me as well. I hate having to jump through hoops for help

 

Remind us of the truck details. I’ve been looking at trucks but if I recall correctly you’ve got some real time and money into this Ford no?

 

Ford mod day? Tiffanys fiesta is gunna blow up any day now
