Has anyone ever seen this? RUST! The only thing holding my front clip on was the fender bolts and the body supports.
First off start by spraying some penetrating oil on the bolts holding the front grill and fenders on, preferably a couple of days...

I paid $300.00 for the frame to be blasted and powdercoated. If I was to do it again, I would go with a good epoxy paint. easier to repair or touch up when needed or you make mod changes to your frame.
I had the same issue with mine as the gap on the pass. side tailgate was big enough to stick your fingers in. I determined that the quarter panel had been pushed out over the years of stress from the spare tire rack and that the brace under the tub supporting this was bent. I remove the brace...
Does anyone have the older style setup they would like to part with for a fair price? I am mainly needing the reduction lever with the adjuster and spring that is located under the floorboard driver side. I dont need the inside foot lever part or cables.

A straight pull type emergency brake handle that mounts under the dash below the key switch. This will eliminate the original E-brake/roll cage interference problems and also free up the kick panel which would be the perfect place for a large fuse panel.
I also like the idea of the billet...
Got mine in the mail last Friday. AWESOME 8-)
Since everyone that dropped by over the weekend wanted mine, I am certian these would make a great stocking stuffer as well!
