Lowering / bagging a truck isn't my thing exactly but I gotta admit this is looking pretty darn good. Keep it up, I'm looking forward to the rest of it!

Hey Matt - thanks again for sending me the link to the Poncho build thread. Should come in handy when shortening mine.

Looking forward to seeing what else you have lined up for your build!

Yea no worries man. I'm excited to see your progress. I'm about to drop the motor in so I'm hoping to have some pics up soon

Mattyparty · 07-14-2014, 10:21 AM

Update. Motor is in. Hoping to have my new control arms by the end of the month. Starting to feel as if I am over the hump

yossarian19 · 07-14-2014, 10:39 AM

I just looked at the picture of your front end again.
Could be wrong, but I believe you are missing a jam nut on the inner tie rod.
The heim joint / rod end has a jam nut going to the adapter sleeve.
I don't see one going from sleeve to inner rod end - and it needs one.

No your right. Thanks for the heads up!!!!

Are you swapping out the flat plate MMW's for the Porterbuilt's?

Yes unfortunately they won't work with the 55-59 front clip. (They won't lay out)

MMW and I had a long, drawn out discussion about it and the thread got moved to vendor reviews if you care to read.
