    Cut & broke off stuff. Prolific ziptie and tape usage.
    It's pyrite color but i have a front bumper cover with fog lights and the crash bar off a 2015. Also have a pair of oem headlights off a 2012.

    The chrome grill trim is really easy to paint yourself. The chrome ring comes off so you don't even have to tape anything to do it.
    Edit. Nevermind on the painting, you'd need the newer grill anyway i think to convert front end.

    I’d agree...having lived in the mid west/mid south and upper Midwest, upper Midwest takes the cake. You get insane deep cold swings because of the Canadian air that dips down and doesn’t make it to the I70 corridor

    So i'm looking for these parts to figure this out on the UCAs. DSM said they don't have any part numbers available since they don't make these arms any more. So i'm trying to replace the spacers and that whole assembly that runs through the uniball? Can someone point me in the right direction? Also after looking at the uniballs again I'm not sure those need to be replaced or would yall do it just to prevent me from having to do it sooner?

    DSM has part numbers somewhere, whoever you talked to is just lazy and didn’t want to look.

    However, if you know whether it’s a 1” or 1.25” inch then you should be able to google “1” uniball replacement” and find one

    Is anyone here in the Lewisburg area capable of sealing headlights? I picked up a nice set of non-OEM lights and want to make sure they won't develop leaks. I'm sure I could do it myself, but it would be a hack job. I'm looking for pro-level work. I'll gladly pay, of course! Beer or money, whichever you prefer.

    Also just got frame recall, anyone willing to let me borrow a fluid film pro gun and a lift perhaps? will barter with food/beer/bourbon.

    really don't have the cash on hand now.

    Just go get a tube of clear silicone and go around where the lens meets the housing. Even if you do a shitty job, that area is covered by the hood and trim anyways so it won't matter. Just apply a bead and swipe off the excess with your finger. Easy

    If it was a beater truck, I would do it and save the money. This is my baby, though :)

    Just wipe off most of the excess. It's really quite easy. And literally no one will see the silicone anyways..

    I did that with mine. Can you tell?

    Not that heavy. Maybe 100 lbs. I can remove it and reinstall it by myself. I have adjustable coilovers.. so I just adjusted them to account for sag.
