Just ordered the rest of the fittings I needed, (3) -6AN o-ring to male flare and an -8AN cap.(summit kept pushing the date for the backorder on the ones I had ordered to like may so I got a refund and ordered different ones. While I was at it I got 2 black rock steel D-windows for spares so I can actually use them on the rear unlike my old 15" wheels/tires (Brakes in the rear can only fit 17"+). Picking up 2 more race tires like i got for them, and I got some baller *** drilled and slotted rotors to replace my rusty stockers lol.

Baller *** is a technical term, right?

How is your 9.75 holding up? I would like to try and truss mine, but don't have the budget to make that a reality right now. Artec Industries has a jigsaw style truss that will work with the 9.75, but it looks quite heavy.

Holding up great,it's just welded gears too. I'd think about a truss if I go links,but if I go that far I'll probably just build a 9"

Nope, but I didnt try very hard. I'm not sure if I ever will.I plan on taking out the stock gauge cluster and just putting a plate there with my fuel gauge and a tach, maybe a speedo if I can figure out an easy way to run an aftermarket. otherwise I guess I don't care how fast I'm going lol..I just used a gps

youve never had the sudden urge to grab some kind of vehicle ot thing that moves, strap a GPS to it and go for a rip?


you sir, have not lived.

Ill have mine with me for SL, see how fast im actually going since my speedo will probably read 40-50mph constantly.
