Again, glad you made it over to FBM. I use it a lot as well and have found a ton of good deals. I just hope that some don't burn my hands... As for vehicle features, a friend of mine purchased a new low end Prius. It didn't have automatic headlights and the feature couldn't be added as an OEM add-on. Seems that Toyota wants you to pay for another trim level to get that option these days, so the moral to the story is to check to ensure the features you want are included in the trim level you obtain.

I still use Craigslist, but as you said, most great deals are on FBM. I do like that I can setup searches on Craigslist to notify me if something comes up that I'm interested in..

So due to life i had to run this hacked bolt with the cam welded to it for a while. I ordered a new set from napa and they also didnt fit themselves.

So mevotech has issues somewhere.

Today i drilled the new LCAs to accept the new bolts but that wasnt the end of it.

The cams were also too large for the slots on my dana 60 front. So i clamped new cams to old cams and ground them down to size.

.... but wait, theres more! The flat index on the cams is also 90* out from the old ones. Fortunately it doesnt actually affect how they sit though.

So a lesson for anyone considering Mevotech lower control arma for a 2nd gen ram.
