That cage looks ALOT better then the crappy one that is in my Baja. Looks great! Where did you get the beam?

just got done ordering some F.O.A shocks. i went with the 12" res shocks. i cant wait until they get here. i need to get my rear in gear and do something about rear arms. right now i would just order a set if i had the money, but i dont!

make sure you tell us how those foa's are. i sure would like to buy a set if they are quality.

went down to colorado, and picked up a fiberglass front with tilt mount. sure glad i found a used one local! saved me a good bit of money. the fit wasnt too great, so i spent most of the day grinding and sanding to make it fit. my arms itch, but its my own fault. it got up to 40 and i was outside grinding. started to get pretty warm, so i took my jacket off. i hate fiberglass. so what do you guys think so far? should i keep the tilt mount, or go with a double tube bumper? i cant decide!

when i change everything over to irs, are the splines on the brake drums all the same? i dont remember that being the case. i want to keep the 5 lug with the irs. do i have to do anything special?

I got a set of the FOA coilovers with the rezis. They look really great. I have not mounted them yet. I am about to build a new frame. I will use them on the new frame.

Chad...I'm confused. Did you used to be "vwtrey"?
