$95 to do a trick frame with no topcoat (not needed as it is 80% UV resistant). Top Coat is only needed if in direct sunlight. Bought at the booth at Mopar Carlisle

Too bad your not near me herein losangeles, I got the hook up at a local truck salvage yard, the guy that owns it is super cool and will make deals just to sell what he has to make room for more stuff, he has lots of dodge engines 5.9 magnums and a few newer hemis

but he has lots of axles, fords chevys and dodge

3/4 ton, one ton , and some huge Ford axles. Quite a few AAM 14 bolts, some with drum and some with disc

Default New Brake Hoses

Just got my SS Kevlar coated brake hoses today. My intial reaction is they are made of great quality feel tough and look shiny lol. They do come with a lifetime warranty so if they leak, swell, rust, get abducted by aliens they are covered. I got them longer (12") than the factory ones because of me being on a lift and flexing off-road. For $150 I would buy again and am going to buy their SS complete brake line kit. And replace every brake line on the truck (especially the once that runs to the back of the truck). The second photo the lines come above my waist and I'm 5'11".

Make sure they are properly restrained, so that when your suspension is at full stuff, the don't get wrapped around anything that moves.

They included clips that I will end up using just don't know where yet. Truck is on hold as it needs a good bit of things. Im trying to get my Stealth running but the alarm tripped (I TOOK THE RADIO OUT SERIOUSLY?!?) so it won't even turn over. But see attached pic

Yeah gold and chrome (Screams 90s). No I do not and probably I won't break down just yet not until I cause a few more hundred dollars of damage.
