    Even if I ended up paying exactly how much it would have cost to have Eric weld it, I'd still do it. I'll still get it a lot earlier!

    If it's a reputable welding shop and they have pics and/or drawings of how it's put together, I'd have no problem having them weld it up.

    If you get your bumper back in some sort of strange abstract art piece, you're going to have a bad time.

    Picked up my SWR meter, black lug nuts, u-bolts and greaseable main eye bolts today. Got bored and took some detailed pictures of the main eye bolts....

    Yeah, I've looked at them... The main guy that runs the shop(very rude guy) is also apparently the only one that can allow you to use them, and he's only there during the weekdays while I'm at work.

    I'm assuming those zerks thread in on the bolts right? If so I don't know if there's room to access the one on the driver side. The fuel tank is pretty close. I don't know if you could get a grease gun with a flexible hose on it. I could be wrong though, I haven't looked at that in a while.

    I don't know if the zerks are threaded, I can't remove them. I have no idea, I guess we'll see haha
    I don't know, it's just the main guy/owner. The other two guys that work there are polite. At Holloman, the guys that worked there were nice as well :notsure:

    Picked up my leaf springs, shackles, and brake line today.

    Carrying leaf springs up 3 stories is not fun! Haha

    Nice haha
    Trust me they're not! They're 1.5" longer than the stock shackles. Haha




    Got the combination of the shackles figured out thanks to Cody (Konaborne) and Monte (Blackdawg).

    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    they are 3/4'' longer? should be longer then that..stock is 3.5'' eye to eye about and if those are 1.5'' lift shackles..should be 3'' longer...or are the just 1.5'' longer thus 3/4'' lift? You can see how mine are 2'' longer eye to eye thus..1'' lift shackles.
