Is that vin etching OEM and I’ve never just noticed it on mine?

How is longevity on these 3d printed parts? Also, why didn't they 3d print a plug and mold them in urethane instead?
Thank you for sharing. It's an interesting video.
Just make sure you can remove it if needed in case you ever need to replace the CV axle or boots. Watched a video where they could not pull the CV axle out because of aftermarket bumpstop (it kept spinning so he cut it off).

Since day 1 I've been spraying fluid film into the base of where these things thread into. I do this in the hope that it will prevent rust and that it might make it easier/possible to one day get them out. So far I don't see any rust.
How difficult for you were the OEM bump stops to get out? What kind of wrench did you use?

Ah yes I recall seeing that thread. Thanks! At one point while doing something unrelated I mentioned this issue to the mechanic and asked him to loosen then re-tighten all 4 front bump stops and the bolts on the rear bump stops just to see if they would move. He reported he was able to do that with no problem. I'm hoping that all the fluid film gook I had sprayed into the mounts worked into the threads. I'd still like to pull them out, clean everything up and maybe put them back in with anti-seize or perhaps something else.
I suspect better drain holes and often-enough rinsing to prevent dirt and gravel collecting in the area is also a worthwhile mod.
The Perry parts bump stops are rusting worse than the oem ones on mine. I'm sure I won't be able to get them out without breaking something if there's a need to remove them.

What’s the setup to run 37’s?
I like the color, I would just make the rock rings machined, then it would be awesome!
Suspension lift, body lift, lots of cutting and eventually KDSS delete.
I’m not a big chrome guy so eventually everything will be color matched or black
I could deal with suspension, body lift and even some cutting... but KDSS delete, ouch. Such a great system for spirited driving. Looks great though!
I don’t do much spirited driving with the cruiser unless it’s off road. Lots of compromises I guess. I ride my motorcycle for spirited rides
