nope, that one used white blade you had in there, worked well.

EDIT: where did you get that cast iron blade at, just looked on the Home Depot site and they don't have it. and Lowe's don't carry Milwaukee.

Good job man! I think you'll like the stance once you get those in.

As for the blade, that's interesting. I have never seen one of them...then again I haven't looked for one either.

ok, stuck on u-bolt size, I wanna say 9/16" thread size, 2 1/2" between threads and 6" long.

But not sure if the thread size is 1/2 or 9/16 and if the u bolts are 2 1/2 between or something else. And damn u-bolts are expensive.

And Noone has a part listing for u-bolts for this damn thing. Yes I searched on here as well, it's always u-bolt flip kit crap. And to measure. I did measure and I come u with 2.4" between the u-bolt opening (maybe the opening gets smaller when tightened?), 6" length (I know I can trim longer oes down) and .563" (14.29mm) close enough to 9/16 for me.

This would be a hell of a lot easier if my 75 year old bitch of a neibor would just mind her own damn business and shut up. She even called the landlord on the other guy that lives in the other end of the tri-plex that he had a few friends there overnight. I was like WTF???? And yet the stupid landlord just lets her get away with it. One of these days I am just gonna slap a harassment suit on her. Respect my elders yeah ok, whatever not this one.

Closest I found on Napa are these http://www.napaonline.com/Search/Det...030_0282438535 but they are an 1/8" off from 2 1/2 between threads.

Contents : Hi-Nuts
Spring U-Bolt Length : 8"
Spring U-Bolt Thread Size : 9/16"
Spring U-Bolt Type : Universal
U-Bolt Distance Between Threads : 2 5/8"

Just called A&A back, those guys are awesome, he's gonna order them and have them delivered from the warehouse. Same place I picked the bushings up from. Won't have to pay for them first. Should be there by 4pm.

I wish I knew yesterday the girlfriend would be willing to buy something that I needed, I would have just picked them up yesterday.

Oh yeah forgot guys, girlfriend said it should be my preference, but I am only out to impress you guys right? So I figured, I'd better ask.

White outline letters (RWOL) in or out? I mounted the first one in. But my 31's are out.

lol not for long.

Oh and I'll ay it now, those look like they are about an inch or so longer than factory. I am not gonna cut them down yet, because I still have to check pinion angle and whatnot because of those shackles. Not sure if I am gonna need a shim or not, hopefully they are gonna be long enough to fit em.

I always go blacked out, but like Rob said, that's just me. AND YET, .....I had that white 4Runner, ....in which case, the white letters where out, black rims and black dlx trim. Looked good! You're not going white in the end, so for ME, personally, ....I'd leave em black OUT, white IN.
