Picked up a swaybar and the hardware going to do the install tomorrow, tonight I think I'm going to drive down to the island in her and do some fishing.

bshepherd1 · 07-16-2014, 10:02 PM

Drove her for the first time ever working out the bugs

Turbo1dr · 07-16-2014, 10:40 PM

I put tags and insurance on it. Getting ready to work out the bugs too.

R.L. · 07-17-2014, 11:35 AM

Installed the sway bar I picked up yesterday, haven't been on the highway yet but around the neighborhood it's a completely different animal!

Knocked the 2 rear cross members out to make way for the new PB ones that should come in any week now. If you are planning on doing this I suggest find a better method then a 4 lb hammer and a set of punches and chisels... I'm sure my arms will be sore for another 2 days.

You got it easy!!! I did mine with the bed and can on. But a sanding disc for an angle grinder and a good drill bit makes those super easy. I just used a sanding disc to grind the head flush and then drilled them out. No hammers necessary

**Elliot949** · 07-20-2014, 05:47 PM

I attempted to properly assemble my bed today only to find out the Head Panel is improperly made... there is 5/16" difference in the height of it from the 19 3/4" on the right side (correct Measurement) to 20 1/16" on the left side which does not allow the Bedside to sit gown properly on the floor... I will call the supplier tomorrow and see about getting a replacement...
