how was it installing axles? Also build is coming along great!Axles came in.
Installing axles is sort of a bitch. You need to pull half of the sub frame apart, and most of those bolts are torque to yield, so they need to be replaced. You also need a new alignment (or should anyway).how was it installing axles? Also build is coming along great!

There was some cursing involved, mostly my fault for trying to use 1/2 to 3/8 adapters on the axle bolts or trying to get things lined up on reassembly. A second pair of hands would definitely have reduced that. Most of it was pretty straight forward and not too hard. Axles popped off with a swift tug. Didn't even need my home made axle pulling solution I rigged up in case they didn't.Installing axles is sort of a bitch.

That looks surprisingly good for basically free.While waiting on wheels I decided to try this steering wheel cover from Amazon. Just couldn't justify 500 bucks for a new steering wheel. But 55 bucks was worth a shot. 100% removing the wheel would of been a lot easier and my 12 o'clock stripe would be 12 o'clock instead of 12:05. Still have to tuck the fabric in a bit more on the back, it is a real pain getting it tucked in on the back. Doesn't really feel like it has the room.

Agreed. It looks like it adds some much needed thickness to the wheel. For ~$50, it could be worth it to just try and see how it feels/looks in person. Might be a purchase I make soon before ultimately deciding if I want a new wheel or not.That looks surprisingly good for basically free.
