I did a lot of checking on craigslist. i think I looked every day for the last month. I am ok with what is on there for now. I have a bush gaurd with winch mount off a 1st gen I am going to have modified for the front. I have the chome centres for the wheels but they are freakishly large. they stick out like I have full floater axels or somthing. I am thinking of cutting them in half and just sticking them in the center hole with some silicone...

Be careful on how much metal you removed when you worked the upper A arms. IIRC, they're hollow and grinding too much off can weaken them.

allready ground almost all the way through, but only at the tip. i hope it is still strong enough. It seems it will. Otherwise I will have to get it welded up

I am still getting some rubbing when I corner. I guess wheelspacers are the only way to go. Going to have to drive it like this for a while until I get enough cash together. I think I want the wheels to stick out as far as I can get them legally for stability.

Just found one of my power steering lines that runs under the rad has rustedthrough and has a pinhole leak in it. I dread havig to replace stuff like that because of the rust.

i am not buying the little spacers, I am going to get the 1.5" billet aluminum ones. they are about $120 per axle. I'd prefer to do both at the same time.
