    Now for the bad:
    1. Limit strap upper mount broke off (just a bad weld, hard to get in there so I don't blame Dakota)
    2. Absolutely destroyed a wheel. Caliper versus spinning wheel = flat tire.
    I remember putting the 2 bolts in the caliper on the passenger side and cranking them down as hard as I could but forgot about torquing them because we were already late for the alignment appointment. Bottom bolt fell out on the dirt road, caliper twisted and wore completely through my wheel and locked up my wheel, creating the flat tire. Luckily a jeep came by with a high lift since neither one of us had one (figured it was an easy trail and didn't need it, BIG mistake). Only other 17mm bolt we thought of thought of was the skid plate bolt, which is a big too long but it was enough to get me home. Torqued it down and didn't budge the 110 miles home.
    Have to find a new wheel, and get a new 17mm bolt to go in the back of the caliper. Could have ended much worse, especially if I just went home and not up in the mountain.
    I'll take a picture of the wheel tomorrow. Didn't get any during the whole process, but huge thanks to @utroda for getting me going again, I would have been SOL without him.

    I have to check the caliper tomorrow and everything else, metal shavings were coming from more places than just my wheel.. But thanks, hopefully all goes well.

    How much do those normally run if you don't mind me asking? Also I don't need to swap my UCAs and Gusseted Spindles to throw those in right? I have Icon UCAs.

    Sorry about the carnage @northwesttaco. Hope all goes smoothly now

    Thanks guys, glad I'm home safe too and it wasn't worse.

    @SixthSnail no you're fine with your UCA's and spindles. Just have to cut your steering stop
