The bottom cut is easy, worst part for me was cutting off the stock tabs for the sway bar links.

Yea the cutting of the old sway bar link tabs is the worst part.

Nice work. You are braver than I. Your wheel and tire combo looks great too.

 

[MedixJK]

On a side note, trektop is back...:thumbup:

 

[cozdude]

Looks like it's going smooth Matt! Also glad you got the trektop back!

Is that an Estwing hammer? That's how you know a man knows what he's doing. Even if I don't know what you're doing. Some kind of shock attachment relocation?

You must always leave time for a beverage!

They are the Evo rock star skids. The act as a skid for the locker control arm as well as raise the shock up 1.5" for more clearance/travel.

Haha yes it is actually

So the LCA bolts supplied with the rockstars dont seem to be long enough...they barely stick through the other side, like a thread or two...anyone ran into this? Anything wrong with just reusing OEM bolts?

Edit: nevermind. Im a fucking idiot and cant read directions.

Hey, you said it, not me...

 

[Grubbicon]

So what did the instructions say?

That those bolts are for the shocks, not the lcas lol

Just read through your build thread looks great!

 

[Napalm]

Well that escalated quickly

Just reading through your build thread and saw this. I'm pretty sure this is an occupations side effect of being in EMS. We've got atleast 6 fire/medics that I've either been in SVT/AFIB RVR/ Vtach or other cardiac issues in the the past 3 years

EMS stress? LoL.

Regardless, glad you are okay and your build is looking great.

I also saw you went from the Trektop back to the stock top and then back to the trek top? Why the change?

I have read you need shorter shock with these rock star skids . Will the blistein 5100 shocks work with the rock stars .
