    A little of this and a little of that. Its pretty run of the mill.
    Not sure how much shipping would be. The coilovers are heavy AF. And it’s be 2 boxes unless you don’t mind the coilovers bouncing around with the UCA’s.

    nah ive had enough bad luck with shipping destroying things rather pay more for shipping to keep from beating it up. Will I have to source my own resiviour mounts, install kit (bushings and other miscellaneous) probably and do you need aftermarket uca bolts?

    Correct. I like the way the ADV look but I have the SDHQ bumper so I went with their fenders.

    Don't worry - you can only drive as fast as the dust cloud cause it's scary AF to drive blind in the dust . He still calls out the big hits but you have no clue where it really is. Haha.

    Hahaha, mt2 is just something Alex coined to describe the next step in mid travel. Going from just coilovers to coilovers with bypasses and the supporting mods (bypass hoops, lca bypass tabs, etc.)

    And MT3.0 is a term that Alex hates which I use to describe @KevinK set up of 3.0” CO and bypasses.

    Will take a long time but would like to be on 37s maybe 39s locked front and rear 488s full skids. But I'm lookin at atleast 3 years unless I sell my actual 85 toyota rock crawler lol[/QUOTE]

    The half shafts are pretty stout from what I've been told by a few people. I've snapped 2 inner joints but I believe it's from jumping in 4wd and not having limit straps.

    Flat rate truck shipping will be your friend on these items.

    Another option is to send them off to ADS for a service and then shipped to your front door.

    Over they years, I have helped ship items from people off websites.

    Most likely. Kartek has some pretty decent LS and adjustable mounts.
