Re: Here we go!!!

Posted via Mobile Device Today I got some stainless steel gas struts....mocked up a couple brackets and I still need to make a piece to weld to the hinge at the top. So far I'm happy with the way they work.

Re: Here we go!!!

I might have missed it, but can you share what application the SS struts are from? Or where you got them and the part number?

Thanks, John

Re: Here we go!!!

Not much to update I'm putting the box back together this week. So it should be on 4 wheels and look like a truck again.......then more parts more money etc.

Re: Here we go!!!

Did your Moser axles come with those lug studs?
Or did you purchase them and press them in yourself?
