crystalworks is on a distinguished road
Spent some time today buttoning up the fitment of the rear bumper after wrestling the Dinan mufflers into shape. Took a torch and 5lb mini sledge to get the fitment to where I was happy with those. They are within 1/16" now and sitting in the middle of the bumper openings. Someone was having a bad day using the jig when they welded up the hangers on this set...



Few "damnit" moments though... ran out of rivets on the rear flares so have those coming in through A-Prime, will be here Sunday. We live in an amazing time don't we? Sorry mom and pop shops.

But far worse than that... here is the condition of one of my steamrollers in the rear. Treadwise these still had another 4-5k miles in them. But that cracking/dry rot says they are headed for the bin. That's an unplanned $1100 in tires.
