i gotta call the guy with the coilovers and see if he still has them. ill let you know when ill have mine ready.




as far as front bumpers go, im not completely sure how much it would cost yet. im building another rear bumper here within the next week tho. id charge $600 for the rear. its gonna be just like my old rear bumper which i sold for that price.

thanks brother! thanks pale!

ya, i built both the old bumper and the new one. they are both based on the same design but the old bumper was out of 1.625" tubing and the new with 1.5" tubing. the old bumper also had a spare tire carrier.

Hey c note Ive been screwin around with different steering shaft ideas and have had no luck. You have any pics of yours? Or what you used to make it? Ive tried mating an astro van shaft to the yoda splined piece and the u-joints are different sizes. Im getting pissed. All I got left to do to make it move around is the shaft and a drag link. Some help would be awesome.

i used the toyota shaft with the rag joint. i did use a heim to support the shaft and keeping it stable otherwise you will feel the steering wobble when you hit a bump. i connected the heim joint to the shock towers.

i bought a seperate u joint to connect the shaft at the firewall that was welded to the yota shaft on one end and drilled on the other for the pin where it mates at the firewall.

my description may sound a bit confusing but i willl try to get some pics. just keep bugging me bout it or ill forget.
