DMNDSTAR87 Posted November 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Well I been getting bored with sanding/stripping and once I get bored of something my work will suffer and I can't allow that to happen with how far I have come on this project.So I got back into the front wheelwell and got everthing that I did not replace sanded/painted so I can do some assembly.I needed a change of pace even if its only a week off from getting back to laying on my back sanding my floorpans.The wheelwells were tough but the floorpans are much worse. I will assemble most of it today and finish during the week then back to the ''GRIND'' underneath.lolgig outhttp://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l587/dmndstar87/DSC01154.jpg?t=1353854508 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliConquestAlex Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Do you have to remove the torque tube to replace the bushings? I've replaced everything except for those. Also, why no 6 bolt LSD upgrade? You're doing all this work for a 4 bolt rear? Edited August 7, 2013 by CaliConquestAlex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
