    Yeah. Just DK uppers and lowers. She gets all of my hand me downs. I was always curious what it pulled before, so we cycled it last night. 10” is that number.

    Im ready to be done debugging it lmfao. All it's been has been bugs. But we're almost there I think. She's gonna get caged here in a few weeks and it'll be great.

    Best time and money I’ve spent on mine. Second is 1 turn lock to lock steering.

    Id bet really good money, a caged mid travel would spank a lot of Lt trucks.

    Is a cab cage by itself a waste?

    Other than safety

    Im gonna tie in the the cage into my DMZ bed cage. with those half moon things so its removable if need be. The front should probably tie into the shock towers at a bare minimum, but not sure if Im going to do that or not. I don’t have an engine cage, but I do have super gusseted front frame section, as well as the pivots, the shock towers, and engine crossover. Pretty much as good as it's gonna get without chopping off my JD inners and going tubular inners and engine cage. im sure what im planning on doing will be a huge improvement in stiffness and definitely safety, but probably leaving a little bit on the table to be gained.

    It will probably do something. But bumper to bumper is hands down going to give you the most.

    While they encourage you to make poor financial decisions, they're saving you from making POOR financial decisions.

    My wife is yet to understand that 25 9$ payments adds up to something.

    smashed this, broke that, covered it up with tape and paint
    It was explained to me by another company that there is actually a significant bit of loss for the company when a purchase is made through affirm.
    It may just be a simple issue of affirm being too expensive for both parties

    At the very least, get the cage stubbed out of the firewall or life is going to suck for whoever adds the engine cage.

    That's interesting to hear, makes sense tho.

    In all seriousness I only affirmed my rear bypasses haha.

    I regret it tho because now I could afford to buy them outright, and now I'm stuck with paying a ton of interest. Oh well
