I'm not refusing to help. I just said that what I'm equipped with is incapable of pleasing you. Amazon me this and I'll send you your mounts with pieces of the frame.

the 4.5" M18 cutoff wheel would be far more efficient

I was thinking maybe a battery or two wtf

My cordless grinder is a 20V (IIRC) Porter Cable. Some junk work bought me. Does fine for the very rare and lightweight purposes for work, though. I borrowed it once to cut some exhaust tubing at LKQ and it took the entirety of one battery. Heavier steel would be a waste of time. My cordless recip saw is an old DeWalt 18V... NiCad batteries. The saw itself is nearly mint but the batteries are junk from lack of use.


What exactly are you needing? I was thinking the lower mounts for the rear lower control arms (trailing arms). Or are you talking about the fronts?

Maybe? At this point I'm not even sure what Big Daddy Randy is needing.

front lower control arm, the rear mounts that have the crossmember. for lift kit you cut the part of the bracket (2 holes on each side) that the crossmember mounts to so the front diff can drop.

And you need that part that's welded to the frame with the four holes in it, from the left and right sides?

Nothing much new to report here. I did finally install the grille I got like a month ago!

Oh. And I installed some Energy front sway bar bushings. Once I’m sure they’re going to work out, I’ll post the PN.

Yeah man. I figured my Corsa wasn’t good enough.

Nah. Much more boring.

I almost got that grille but I think it would've been a bit much on mine. I couldn't commit to cutting up my grille for it. Come back when you have them headlights in.

I didn't cut mine, either

The middle "bar" is just ziptied back out of the way. Now that I've committed to it, and love it, I will probably cut it out and paint whatever that is behind the grille, black.

WellI'llbedamned. I'm still not sold on it but who knows. Coincidentally, I have some gloss black vinyl and have been thinking recently of wrapping that center bar to get a better visual and maybe leave it if I like it, if even temporarily.

Do ittttttttttttt.

Removing the grille is an absolute PITA, be warned.

The mesh inserts? I've already removed and replaced those. Swapped the chrome for gloss black. I recall that not being easy.

I have a trans fluid cooler and those new headlights to install. I wanna have all of it ready to go so I only have to remove the front bumper cover/grille assembly once.

Yes, those. What an absolute PITA those were.

I plan to install a trans cooler in the spring, also. So looks like we'll be doing the same mods at the same time. lol.

Maybe. lol

You'll probably have yours done before mine. I've had that trans cooler sitting in the shop for 3.5 years now.

My trucool 40k dropped my trans temps like 50° on summer days. Best mod I’ve ever done
