Por-15 "Build" Thread

[Jwithing]

@Jwithing you are so right to be pissed. But as you say, it will be underneath so not a total loss. Now that you have the Hellwig back, get yer ass back under there and take some progress pics!!

Probably won't be able to get to it tonight. We sold our house and the inspector cones tomorrow, so I have a few things to tidy up.

Wow that is the worst powdercoat job I have seen. Good thing it was free.

And like you said, its under the truck so no biggie. It still looks way better than it did!

Right? I feel like I could have done much better and quicker with some spray enamel.

The whole point of you powder coating was because the POR15 was likely not going to lay on smooth. I'd definitely be pissed after all that running around you did. I assume it will still look good from behind anyway and nobody will be able to see it. But, you know it's there and the whole job did defeat the intention.

Anyhow, looking forward to see you keep truckin along with the rest of the job, it's gonna look nice!

Yup, the por-15 I did on the stock bar looks way better... Comparing the two... He did straight black instead of a semi-gloss as well...

Looking at the dent above... Did he **** my bar up?????

 

[S0CAL]

Well...I don't have that dent on my Hellwig. So, he did SOMETHING. Jeez what an incompetent fool. Did he throw the f_cker??

 

[Jwithing]

Ok guys, need some quick help on the hellwig install. Do the down rods go to the inside or outside of the brackets and then, from pics, I assume the sway bar goes to the inside of the down rods. I can't keep messing with this to figure it out

Hope this helps.

And did you install the downrod upside down for a reason? The install instructions say to install it flipped.

 

[S0CAL]

Eh? I just followed the directions!

When I get my Core 4x4 Panhard, endlinks and upper/lower control arms, this rust goes bye-bye. Back to my suds!

Thank you sir.. anyway I put this puzzle together, the down rods are bowed, and that just doesn't seem right to me

Speaking of which, the guy that does my ceramic coating just recommended a ziebart shop down the road... $200 for rust protection and a sound barrier.... Sounds too good to be true to me
