My girl helped me run my brake lines today. Also taught her how to weld.
My one-piece silicone knuckle boots came in today so I can finally strip down the axle for the last time to seal it with the boots and RTV.

Here's a before and after picture of the custom wheels.

Only one pic!?

I like the fact that you "re centered" the wheels. I've done my own wheel mods before, and its kindof a neat deal. A lot of people won't even try to mess with them.
