just the ability to see all the images in a thread would be so incredibly useful. and only available to members as not to absolutely rail the virtual host.

There might be. I'll have to look. I know there's a media thing you can purchase from xenforo I just never looked into it.

First cut the axle off and put the birfield in a vice, then notch it with a grinder to get through the case hardening.

Then drill the center to at least 3/4" diameter, put it on a press and use a 5/8 bolt to press on the bottom of that hole until the splines break at the clip and you've liberated your inner birfield.

holy crap that's a lot of busted knuckles and empty beer cans worth of work. wow. feeling really lucky JD is here in SoCal for the install. I'm also envious of you trucktards pulling all this off in your garages.

could make up some different versions, so we're not all trucktards, all the time (at least that what I'm telling myself)

truck yeah

truck on (or off)

I think if you went down that road you’d have to pull the best from the forums to go on the shirts.
that could be a thing. each year, a new zinger word from the forums.

Only thing it do is get a garage and start fucking up. I recommend doing that in private until it looks good for the 'grams:)

Front cross member, based on the location of the IFS skid, burned in and plated to the frame. This will also be the basis for the bumper.

Next step is rad, AC, other shit, and cage members to hold that all together. Diff and steering are ready to go back in too, once I'm sure they won't have to come out again. After the mechanic shit is done it's on to bending LCAs.

You have room to work in there? I guess you make it work when you don't. :)
