Re: Project: Shiro
Thanks guys! I'm hoping to keep some momentum but I will be waiting on parts for a bit. I have been on a roller-coaster this weekend with the thought of buying an inner frame structure and a possible swap to bags. I've been wanting the inner structure since I first saw it but the swap for bags came from my younger son. I received trailing arms with spring mounts on them with my kit and my son asked what they were for. When I told him he said, "So we could have bags?" I'm trying my best to stay on track but the T.A.D.D. kicks in and I'm off on a tangent. I have no idea when my parts will be in so it may be a rough week or so! Anyway, I am thankful for a wife who supports my truck habit, for my sons who dig trucks too, and for the truck guys who answer my crazy texts. I'll be praying to the parts gods and waiting for the big brown truck. I love the big brown truck!

Re: Project: Shiro
Good luck with this, I change directions every 10 minutes with my Burb Build! Ol Travis over at Pro Performance probably hates me because I have had him price out wheel sets about 15 times now!

Yep, the key for me will be keeping the parts arriving on-time. I think creation of a spread sheet is in my future, something to keep track of progress and the parts and labor required.

Re: Project: Shiro
So C/O's may not be in the cards now, huh? Good luck making a decision.

Re: Project: Shiro
That inner frame structure is a very nice piece, I have been thinking about it for mine as well, and I say switch over to bags

Re: Project: Shiro
I ordered the upper bag mounts for the front yesterday. Anyone need a set of coilovers?

Re: Project: Shiro
Nice, I think it is the right choice and you'll be happy with it. Believe me I know a thing or two about changing my mind during a build

Re: Project: Shiro
Well... Nothing really going on with the build other than Shiro's new shoes showing up. Had some good momentum going, hopeful to regain it in a few weeks.
First look... Checking fitment.
