Head up, I’m close friends with a manager for autozone. He said if you spend the $20 before you return the tools (you get 3 months to return it before they charge you) then the money is free. Sometimes they take the $20 credit back when you return tools, it’s hit or miss. So spending it before makes sure you get the money.
What issue are you running into? I have kicker 6.5 in mine and all I did was drill new mounting holes.
It seemed like there wasn't enough plastic to drill new holes because the speaker just barely fit over the inlayed plastic meant for the 5.25 speakers. Looking at your picture, I see the speaker is not inlayed, and I thought maybe you added a bracket or something extra to mount to, but if not then I will check and again and see if I can do the same and drill new holes. thanks!
I agree it’s totally awesome. I’m very interested to see how it all turns out, but it’s already more than I thought it would be, and so far, it’s not as difficult as I thought it would be. It’s just time consuming and requires patience.

p.s. I’m still getting dirt dropping in my eyes occasionally. I hate that!
Those outer C’s were no joke. I wish they would modify that once piece. Would have saved me hours.I told you after posting the mud puddle photo
When I did Toms tuck I felt the same way. It's a great system. The hardest part I found was getting the oil pan skid to line up with the drain hole.
There are two snap rings and two lock rings to remove, and one lock ring to install (with the JB SS SYE)
I can answer number one, in order to measure the pinion angle of the axle, you want to put your angle finder on either one of the machined flats next to the diff cover, those are holes for a spreader and exactly 90 degrees off the pinion angle. So just take that angle and subtract 90! Another way is place your angle finder on the axle yoke, so it’s 90 degrees to the driveshaft. That will tell you the angle as well if you subtract 90.
Thank you. So, when all is said and done, I want the angle on the axle to be the same as the angle on the driveshaft? Or better, the angle on the driveshaft should be a couple degrees higher than at the axle? Correct?
That is correct. You want the reading with it sitting on the driveshaft to be equal to the axle yoke. I would run 0 degree difference, but yes you can usually have the axle a degree or so pointed down. How you have it now will get you very close, close enough for mock up until DS gets there.
Just took a pic for reference. I’ll just shave a bit off the edge of the crossmember.
That sounds good, I may be a bit steep now. I'm at 17.5*. Axle does look a bit far back. Right now I can't do anything with the rear trackbar till I get the exhaust out of the way. It's right in the way of the trackbar, almost touching the shock body, and hitting the rear bumper. I think I'll remove it where the cat bolts up to the muffler, then get everything else bolted up and take it to the muffler shop. Hoping they can also weld my Currie angled rear trackbar relocation bracket to the axle. I cleared the paint there so hopefully easy, but the hard brake line is right there too.
