Anyone know a good body/paint place in OC?

^I always thought the LA area was like GTAIII where one could drive in-n-out of a paint booth for those that do drive by's.

I wish, I'd take my chances with a random color too.

True, I'm not sure about the material but, I should have checked'em earlier.

I am curious if the axial? load is too much. Maybe hub extenders would work even though you are using proper hubcentric spacers right?

edwin, depending on how much thread is out that you can reach, have jerick or someone weld on another bolt and then break it off that way. although, i'm not sure how much thread you'll actually be able to get to if it's like the picture bengay posted.

I don't always shear adapter bolts, but when I do, I end up replacing the hub and wheel bearing.

How the fuck do i get the bolt off the control arm ball joint in the subframe on pass side. Shits a PITA! Only thing holding me back till my new cabs get here.

Ethan an 8380 labs' response to castro's concerns with the design the second time lugs broke; 'I'm not going to continue to speculate what other people who don't do this for a living think.'

I wonder if he would take it more seriously if i have one of my multi phd professors run an analysis on it. Perhaps start a new thread about it. lol

This feel I know...I ended up having castro do it because I had to get some other stuff done...

Were the bolt failures ductile or brittle sheers? I never did see the amount of deformation on them... I think you said they were heat treated no? If so it could a impromper heat treat method on an entire batch? Considering how many bolts they would need done and the volume of sales it's not that far fetched to use an entire bad batch of bolts for a entire shipment spanning a large portion of time.

But I would love to see that thread for this myself :rofl:

This is why i dont run spacers with studs.
