Have any rust issues to contend with? I know the convertible versions like mine are all rotted out in the back.
NO rust. Literally. This thing musta been garaged when it wasn't being towed. No rust but I am just painting and undercoating to hide the ugly white chassis.
And yes, it is a fun build. I am moving very fast on the suspension but very slow on the project as a whole since I have to keep stopping to wait for paint to dry. My next step is to install the new hubs while other things are drying. Had to work at 4pm yesterday so couldn't finish the differential drop brackets. BTW, called Calmini yesterday, JAKE answered the phone:
"Calmini Products how may I direct your call?"
I told them I bought SK19900 3" kit for my Tracker and was at the step pertaining to the center differential mount...
"Oh, you want to know which bushing goes where, don't you?"
BINGO! (talk about mind reading)
"Factory bushing on top, Calmini bracket, then the Calmini bushing on bottom, then the crossmember."
I shortenened the sleeve +/- 1/4" instead of eliminating it, I figured it would be better to have it.
