After replacing my valve cover gasket this week, had a major brain fart and misplaced one of the bottom long bolts for the Throttle Body. I've spent hours looking and have now given up. What are my options for replacing it. Would any of the auto parts stores have something like this? Maybe Home...

Yep, they just cut it off.

Drove up to Paradise a couple days ago and got my new bumper installed. Took them all of 45 minutes to get the new bumper installed and myself back on the road. They were super nice and explained everything about it to me. It really is a stout bumper and the fit is excellent with not a single...

Looks good. I cruise up next week to get mine installed, can't wait.

Thanks, I'm getting mine installed on the 18th. Curious to hear the results.

Called and placed my order today. Can't wait to finally have a proper rear bumper

I'm placing my order for a single swing out rear bumper probably tomorrow. Cant beat the price right now and they will install it for me.

Thanks everyone. I sent them an email about the installation, $145 is not bad.

That is a really good price on that bumper. I'm in the Bay Area so I could ultimately drive up there, but my issue is installation. My living situation would not permit me to install this out front, unless I can find someone to do it.

Finally finished up my front axle service which included servicing the Birfs, new wheel bearings and races, new trunions and races, new seals, etc... Took way longer than I expected, but finished it by myself. Figured next time should be way quicker. Also put in new OEM rotors, pads for the...

My 315 duratrac's will be installed on Saturday, can't wait to get them on. Will post pics after their on.

Sounds good. Thanks for the advice.

I am finishing up on my marathon Birf service and I am trying to get the new rotors bolted onto the hubs that I just greased and replaced the bearings. Problem is, I know I need to torque these bolts to 54 ft lbs, but I dont own a vise and can't get the rotor secured to tighten them fully. Would...

Finally got it in after spending 2 hours trying to get the axle to slid in. I then stopped and looked at how the birf was orientated and it wasn't totally straight. So got in the truck and turned the wheel to get it as straight as possible and bam, first try got the axle in. Oh well learning...

So for an update, got a brass drift and tried to get the trunion races to seat better, but no dice. They didn't budge, but really looking at them, they are totally flush with the lip so they weren't going to move anywhere. Put on the knuckle housing for both sides and moved to inserting the...
