Hi mate,

Great work on the car, pretty special monster:) was interesting reading through your build thread. I was wandering if you could help me. I see that the car was single range and you converted it to dual range, I'm basically after a grey gear knob with the push 4wd button and was wandering if you your car had it and if your not using in any more. Would you sell it if you have it somewhere?
Here is my link with a pic of what i'm looking for.

It's probably a good idea you got those nice pics, before Jeff helps you add some dents

looks good but it might be worth replacing the rear bumper mounts with something a bit more substantial if your going to use the rear bumper as a recovery point.

Oh and add some big rubber mats for mud flaps.Gotta keep the PO's happy.

[Buckaroo21]

how did you resolve your camber issue? i am looking for a cheap way to lift my car but still keep it a good day to day driver, and the camber seems to be my only real issue i am having.

haha I know they haven't given me any trouble yet..... That rear bumper is not moving..... It is mounted in many places the hitch is attached to it with a triangle which is hooked with 4 bolts on each to where the tow hooks use to be. thats about as strong as you can get with having a Uni Body. :-\

um unless you can fab and weld I would not recommend doing the way i did mine... :-\ check out some other build threads as well. If i were you I would drop it from the top of the strut with the correct angle and that should take care of the camber........ i will put pictures up of how i did mine if your still interested.

[Buckaroo21]

pictures would be awesome, and yes i can fab and weld pretty fair.

[88Subi4x4]

ok i will take a few tomorrow I cut the stock strut tops and moved them in about to inches and then i went to pull a part and cut out strut tops from another subi and welded them in alot of work but it is solid and fixed my camber !!
Before


Bad pics sorry..... i will see if i have time to take a few tomorrow

damn you aint kidding when you say alot of work. i was hoping it could be done in a weekend or two lol, but that would take me a little while to get done, but yeah if you could post some pictures of all the welding and what not, you had to do, that would be great.

[88Subi4x4]

yeah its not a one day project and there is a few other little things you ave to change in order to do it that way
here are a few pics
camber fixed!
