Breakin' Bolts Build

They compare to high end Fox’s but they are small enough companies that their customer service is killer unlike Fox

 

I'll have to keep them in mind. I suppose Marie sells them at Headstrong?

 

Biggest draw over kings was all aluminum body and resi. The clickers are large, but haven't mucked with them since doing inspection upon arrival/unpacking.

I initially looked at the BP51 setup, but

 

Yup

 

they sell ADS, yes.

 

That's actually a big draw for me, living in the Rust Belt.

 

Just shy of 8 weeks later...got my fender flares on!

 

sell me your shell. Give you $500 and my softopper

 

Wife and I caught our first daycare bug, aka sinus crud from the little one. I was hit harder since I was already dealing with some sinus induced vertigo over the past few weeks, so I've been out for a few days, since I was hugging the porcelain princess Sunday into Monday inlaws insisted on CV tests, so the wife and I went and got CV tested for our 2 year anniversary "event" haha!!! Great times being sick, nosed self-raped, the pharmacy tech said we couldn't do each other even with it being our anniversary!!
We decided to back out regardless of test results in time for camper-ing with the inlaws this weekend...but since our family car replacement post accident opportunity over the holiday weekend was knocked out from under us, we are hoping to get the all clear results today or tomorrow so we can go test drive and get this vehicle situation nailed down. Research on her end hasn't seemingly stopped, so she's run down everything from Highlander, Sequoia, GX460, Explorer, Telluride, Passport, Odessey.

We shall see...Thursday update since I didn't apparently post this Tuesday evening!

The wife is seemingly got her sights set on a VW Atlas. My mom's got a Tiagun and loves it, it's nice and the fit/trim seems solid (as solid as hard plastic spots can inevitably be in cars the last 25yrs+). She seems set on the large rear 3rd row legroom, and I'm not offput by the reasonable midpoint price range the seems more than legit for a kiddo or two (my wife said 3)

 

TL;DR

cliff notes?

 

What kinda bolts we breaking in here today??

 

Wrist bolts!

Actually remeasured driveline, added a bit longer m8 and washer for rear ifs bolt that was lost somewhere in the last 2k before the oil change/noticed it was gone.

Researched what I can break on the likely VW Atlas the wife is eyeing post official totalling of her car.

 

And I thought I'm lazy! See mattsnoted

 

You sound like a busy guy! "Totalling of her car"? What does that mean?

 

noted thx

how difficult was the brake lines? I bought some front ones too. I have to do a brake job anyway, figured I’d go ahead and do stainless front lines while I am at it.

 

The clips were just a matter of cabinet screwdriver and small hammer. Neighbor had trouble rethreading new line initially so I ran them all, not a big deal just wore gorilla grip type glove and rags. Easy job on a 2 pt. Lift and high funnel catch.

As busy as I can be, finally back to mostly normal post sinus infection, and sitting around now waiting on CV test (see a few posts up)
Now the wife and infant were in a near fatal accident last Tuesday they had a highway angel for sure watching over them.

 

WOW! I'm glad that things worked out! That is scary.

 

Thanks, I knew we were in for a bigger family vehicle soon...9/1 made it reality and.thankful no one was hurt

 

don’t buy a VW. You’ll regert it very quickly.
