yes sir .. I included a large metal washer for the top of the bodylift block , and the new mount has a washer for the lower part of the block .... only thing you need to replace it the threw bolts , i'm not sure of the total length you'll need .

so all done the frame  .. tail lamp pockets are also finished  Michael .. I have made you 2 sets of fuel tank drop brackets .. you can see in this pic .. 1 set is 2" drop , along with the drop for the shield tin (3 pieces) and the other is a 1" drop (3 pieces) ... not sure which one you'll need .. (I suspect the 1" ) .. but I wanted to make sure you were covered .  Now on to work on the sides ... almost done . . |

very nice corey! are the brackets just in case something doesnt clear the tank even with the 2" body lift? or am i going to need one of the sets of brackets for sure? so all done the frame .. tail lamp pockets are also finished Michael ..

you'll need 1 set for sure .. probabally the 1" set .. Because of the location of the fuel tank , and the "drop" in the floor for the rear passengers ..
original has ~3" drop on the tank , and I made 2 different sets just to make sure you were covered .

so done today ... the lowers anyway ... today is the last day the tub will be upsidedown ... right Michael?? also cleaned up the rear hardware , hatch shocks , lock ketch , plate . hatch shocks seemed to be in great shape , but the hardware was rusty .. so I bead blasted all of it , and cleaned it all up to bare metal again .. zinc'd and painted ... I left the shocks as bare metal .. ran them under my wire brush , and they kind of turned out like a brushed aluminum .. I think they look awesome , so I clear coated .. and now are ready to assemble . I am also ready to send out the hatch and cover .. I'm also going to send out the interior canopy trim plate to be line-x'd .. (michael if your not paying for those trim plates , I will ) I just think once the interior is done and they are installed .. the whole thing will come together awesome . . |

Michael
No I dont have pictures .. but there are some alum. plates that line the inside of the canopy to tub panel ..
usually !! ... the inner fabric trim panels , and canopy carpet liners meet at this place . The plates are there to cover the fabric intersect .. like a trim plate .. well exactly a trim plate hahaha !!
whatever color/trim you choose for the interior , It should bring more of the outside ..inside and match awesome , and make for a great line .
I hope that makes sence ? I would absolutly do it on my own unit .

so .. ALL the Line-X on this end has been stoped .. because of pricing .
just simply can not compete with the USA market .
