    Just making sure you know, before you assemble/have them assembled, make sure to move that adjustment ring to the bottom notch with those Eibachs.

    I installed an Aisin Kit.

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00340FETK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00

    That's what the OEM clutch manufacturer is. Not sure if this kit is identical or not, but working fine so far.

    I have not read up much on the install. I was going to borrow some spring compressor s from AutoZone. Can anyone point me to a link for installation? I am not smart enough for the search function.

    I was looking at that one and the Exedy clutch on Amazon ( I love prime). The Exedy is cheaper and has better reviews. hmmmmm

    This isn't something I am usually cheap on, but the reviews are good. hmmmmm

    Always thought people meant stickers and swag when they said Wheeler's sends candy. Apparently they mean actual "candy"o_O

    I can't get the fucking factory skid plate off. This is infuriating. Of the 3 vertical fins on the skid that make contact with the crossmember, one of them appears to be stuck to the frame. I guess it is rusted on?.. I have banged on it and tried to pry-bar it and it will not fucking budge. I'm about to just hold a blowtorch on it for 20min. This thing is stuck and I don't understand why. It's almost as if it's welded on.:confused:

    I'm not calling you stupid... But are you sure you got all the bolts? I got pissed off at mine because like yours it wouldn't budge then I realize i missed two bolts that were hidden in the little "tower" things. You need an extension to get to it. Idk once I got those it came right off. Just a thought

    I took the 3 bolts off the front, as well as the 2 that are on the back of the ifs skid. Every part of the skid is hanging except for the passenger side where this one piece seems to be superglued to the frame.:annoyed:
