    Really? May want to look into that, that doesn't sound confidence-inspiring.

    Put inside the reservoir 32 nuts with cleaning solution and shaked. The nuts scrub the inside of the tank.

    I found out that 20 wasn't enough so I added the rest of what I had. A little more would be better and faster.

    But on the other hand Funny joke

    yes. body mounts are different and possibly some reinforcement.. but the main members should be the same

    I got the TCs. Ordered them a while back waiting for a time to install them. The diver's side fits well - it's just tacked for now.

    Awesome. I will let you all know how the expensive as F inline harness from Singer works once I get it. Seeing voltage in the mid 13’s on scan gauge right now.

    Which is why I think they would be compatible. But I wasn’t sure if Billy does something special with the lines for RC vs AC. I assume not but just didn’t get into specifics with him on that. I feel bad wasting his time on that level of detail because he is so busy. Truly a fantastic guy though and our communication goofs here are a bummer so if there is some way I can help stoke out someone else I will gladly do it.

    Nice. Which LEDs did you put behind the instrument cluster and HVAC controls?

    Whats involved to weld these gussets in? Like what needs to be removed to properly get to the spindles to weld them in? Im thinking of giving this a go down the road and just curious how much of a pain it is to do. Thanks!

    @oscardog86 when I did mine I pulled the spindles right off the truck. You need to be able to grind the area clean of paint and get in there at funny angles to weld them.

    Some say you should pull the hubs and bearings to avoid cooking them but if you do short passes and give plenty of cool down time between they should be fine to leave in.

    Agreed with everything @Darkness said. I’m doing mine on truck, but am very thoughtful of temps. Off truck is preferred, and if I wasn’t exhausted, would do that.

    When you have 700lb coils, the mere weight of these is not a concern (to me). Flame on
