Yes, I prefer the look of black wheels and in general hate chrome. There is another concern. Bend the lip of a steel wheel while offroading and you might be able to bend it back to get yourself home. Bend an alloy wheel and it's not likely to be repairable.

And yes, I always carry a full size spare when wheeling.

Here are two of my first drafts. Axle has not yet been rebuilt, just bolted up to see how it fits.



Other side... Track Bar still needs to be double sheered.



At this rate, raven will probable beat me done...

Let me know if your Yoke hits the sway bar crossmember. I'm having that issue with mine and I can't figure it out. I've never heard of it happening on an X so I'm wondering if its a frontier thing since it was designed for the X.

I am going to do a custom spring pack, but not from the same company that did my current pack.

8am start, Robin?

"Climate change is no longer science. It's politics... Climate change is also about power. Power to control.... It's about who gets to decide: how much energy we will have... where that energy will come from... what it will cost... It's about simulations, scenarios and monsters conjured up by computer models that should never be used to chart government policy -- especially on matters that will profoundly affect our livelihoods, living standards, life spans and dreams of a better future.

"So hold onto your wallets, and hope you can hold onto your homes, cars and jobs. You're about to be put on a wild political roller coaster."

I told everyone 10, but I will be cleaning up from some stuff I did for the kit tonight, so probably 9 would be the earliest.

If you all are coming let me know what kinda drinks you want.

When you get your done, let me know how off centered your pumpkin is from the front driveshaft, also just wondering from anyone else that has SAS'd. From what I saw, it looks like the driveshaft will be at a 10-20 degree angle to the left.
