I have a buddy that runs a successful social and youtube account. I think we are going to do a build video for the bed. There is nearly zero videos on YouTube for it.
Its so nice to work with engineers and at a fab shop that works with heavy steel all day. One of our structural engineers helped measure and plan how to make the shims EVO wants an arm and a leg for. Cut out was used to check and make sure it all lined up. Gonna end up costing me $0!Stripped the front end to install the EVO 1/4 Pounder bumper I recently acquired 2nd hand. The seller didnt have the hardware or shims. I had a less than stellar experience with EVO when I called to find out what hardware and the thickness of the shims. The person that answered the phone just said "email tech support". I did that and all the did was reply with a link to a $24 shim(6 required) and a "hardware pack"(8 bolts and nuts) for $78...
So after researching and using some visual aids from some install videos I beleive I have deduced the size of the shims and will be making them at work tomorrow and then I'll figure out length of the hardware on my own as well...
I also have started taking parts off of the rear bumper and will continue to remove parts from the bed that can be sold separate from the bed. I had a friend I wheel with alot message me and said "my whold FB feed issTrents stuff for sale" lol.
T-minus 5 weeks to SMJI. Lets hope the bed comes in soon so I can get it powdercoated and installed in time!
