    cig lighter/ ash tray bezel

    98 c1500 ext cab short bed My ac mode door actuator took a dump on me. yay me. Anyway, I cant seem to figure out how to get that section (or bezel) off that houses the ash tray and 3 cig plugs. I cant find another way to get to that mode actuator than to remove that. I almost broke it...

    got mine off ebay. keep in mind the thickness, lug pattern, and thread size (studs, for the lug nuts)

    Then you would run into spacing issues with the control arms without spacers. due to the backspace of the jeep wheels. plus you would have your hub center sticking out of the center of your front wheels. spacers are safe. I did lots of research before I considered it. then I met a few people...

    ONE AND A HALF (one and a half inch spacer). lol the center of the hub is too large for the hub opening on the factory jeep wheel. its the same lug pattern and size (5x5). so a spacer can be used to clear the hub.

    Custom door hinge bushings

    Custom door hinge bushings

    Im not even going to lie, it might be the way I install them. im not a body man by no means. I can paint and prep. but when it comes to hinges and trying to get things lined up... yeah that's a no go. im just overall sick of it.

    Custom door hinge bushings

    So I have a sort of hook up at a machine shop. I asked the guy to copy the door hinge bushing, but instead of making them out of the bronze or whatever they are, I wanted them made out of aluminum. he is still in the process of making them. the reason I want them this way is because ive had...
