What were your issues?

Just a loose battery ground, an altenator bracket bolt got loose and one of my front wheel hubs was a bit loose so I gave the nut a half turn. Other than that no issues. I think I am just going to revalve the shocks and bump up my rear spring rate 50lbs on my heavy spring and then do all the body and sterio.

Post by: Punkur67 on August 23, 2009, 09:27:15 PM: Did a test run 2 seperate day trips and threw it in the toyhauler to get started on Travis' car. As soon as I am finished with his car I will get back on my car. The car kicks the crap out of my old car, just needs a little tuning. I also bought a pair of bumpstops for the rear that should make their way on to the car before the season starts up.
