Josh, I will be in CO for Xmas, be back on the 29th....
While I am in CO I will be grabbing some more of my "spare parts" I shouldnt have left behind!

hahaha

I also have a Superrunner steering kit coming to me so I will have to install that sucker prior to Thaven which will require an alignment.
We should get together and make up some of those spindle nuts lock rings we talked about.......

Well enjoy CO for Xmas dude. I'll be sticking around CA in search of parties etc...unfortunately I have to see the Nutcracker Ballet on Saturday with the fam ...(don't tell anyone)

Thats a bust that you're gonna be gone that long though, cuz I'm kinda planning a local run up to Saddleback Mt. with some dude, tentatively scheduled for Saturday the 28th. Oh well, maybe next time huh?

I defintely want to make some of those lockrings, that would be fun. Where did you say you could get the stock ones for cheap again??? and CA prices, not CO prices

Car Quest Auto Parts has them in stock (at least in CO they do!)

I will get some we can use while I am out there. They are $1.50 each

I have only seen 1 Car Quest out here, in Dana Point

Yah pick some up if you get the chance, then we can make them and sell for $20 each!!

I think with a welder and a fabricators bushing you could just do what autofab did and hack the factory mount up and rework it I am always looking for ways to save money CHEAP *******

I agree you can make your own version of the AutoFAB mount. The autofab mount is no hack job though...definatley built from scratch, though its not rocket science here......

does anyone know if this will work for a 2nd gen with a 5r55e? and what is the website for autofab?

www.autofab.com

You wont find it on the website, its outdated for sure.

Call and talk to John, I doubt they changed the mount on your truck....
