    Well... it was hard kinda. Have to beat the fuck out of the fenderwell and cut into the sheet metal. That's basically the simplified version.

    For a 1st gen you'll have to actually "tub" the firewall and then cut your fenders. It's been done there too. I can't remember his screen name but his name is Silas and he has a 1st gen on 35s with this done. ... among others, but I've seen his truck in person so... yeah

    A bit more involved for 1st gens unfortunately.

    Think it looks good. ??


    Got some of the other side done but cutting through the two pieces where that box is is a PITA!

    Also tried to replace my fucked up axle shaft with the new assembly. Too bad the new (used) one is for the other side. Had everything torn apart before I realized.

    Now I either need to get a whole new assy or a bearing and possibly a backing plate so I can make it easier.

    Yeah I need that 7" fucker. Course it'd probably catch and cut my damn leg off. I need to go get more disks so I can cut the rest off. I just need a plasma.

    Did I mention how fucking annoying it is that I got the wrong side axle. The backing plates are mirrored so they won't fit the e-brake.


    A new backing plate is like 70$ plus shipping.

    A new bearing is expensive as fuck.

    Without a new backing plate that means I have to press off stock bearing and then pull the original backing plate, press off stock bearing on new axle, and then press everything back together. That means I have to have to do it somewhere I can press them together. And then the bearings are no good and I won't even have a spare assy. GOD DAMN IT.

    I think I'll order another fucking axle assy.
