Rim size, miles, condition/punctures?

Also consider supporting local, US based products with your money. It is hard to agree with the moral compass of some foreign businesses at the moment.

I have them. The fitting is not great, not bad. Service access is really bad - you need to take them off for most services - especially the middle one.. And heat management is non-existent. Some have cut holes near the catalytic converters to relieve some heat build up. Wish I hadn't wasted my...

This is what I call modifying a rig! Most here are like me, a few bolt on parts and no real modifications. This will be a great rig once all buttoned up.

I have run OEM with upto 2.5" lift on my prev truck - they aligned great and were trouble free. If you must buy aftermarket for some caster correction, consider @TRAIL TAILOR produced UCAs: UCAs - 100 Series - https://www.trail-tailor.com/store/p126/UCAs_-_100_Series.html

This job truly sucks balls - especially the driver side. My mechanic had to take off the oil check tube, steering column intermediate shaft, tilt up the engine to get the driver side off. Access to a couple of studs is horribly tight, even when on a lift. Still $2.4k would make me think twice...

My rear ones were pretty stiff and the right rear was making pretty ugly screaching noises. I had lubricated it a couple of time without much improvement. As for the mounting surface, it was solid on this truck but it did crack on my old 98. Not sure what causes them to crack or how common it...

Replaced the door checks on rear doors and added @cruiserpatch sourced reinforcment plates. A pretty quick job once you realize that you can just take the speaker off to reach the door check assembly and don't have to rip open the vapor barrier! These are updated door checks with flatter ramps...

curious abt the grill - Garage Alpha?

There were hairline cracks around the welds. The DT headers DON'T CRACK. This was an earlier version made with mild steel. DT has since then started using stainless steel which haven't cracked.

Mileage 210,550 Paid someone $300 to replace the driver side manifold. The old manifold was an ealier version of DT header built with mild steel. Some welded joints were cracked. The PO acquired a replacement set in stainless steel but never had the chance to install them so they included them...

one of the best looking 100s to me! That slick top is money!

@TRAIL TAILOR tow hooks are legit - get a pair and never look back

I think Denso is the OEM coil - those should be cheaper.
