Nice!

What was the cost to your door in Canuck Bucks?

Please weigh it vs the stock part(s) that come out.

And please please please document the install as best you can.

All curency converted and shipped to my door was 985 $ CAD total.

Steve at Wild Ride was nice enough to give me a little 50$ discount to help with the 30%
Exchange rate !

Here’s the breakdown:

540$ usd the crossmember with upper arms
99$ usd shipping ( ups took 3 days )


Then you need to add brokerage fee and import charges 195$ CAD.

Install will probably be late January.
Will take lots of pictures.

I don’t really agree on that ... my car is super straight except for that piece of sh*t crossmember. This will resolve the issue for many years to come. If one day I sell the car I think someone may appreciate the way it was repaired.

It will also cut on repair-labour time. I may install it myself.

Didn't realize I didn't answer you - used Trick Chassis. Hope the install goes well.

Its not a horrible job. I used concrete blocks and 4X4 fence posts.

The hardest part is making sure all the hoses and wires between the frame and body are disconnected from each other.

Not sure if would be possible to do it with the front clip on it or not. I had mine apart so I used my engine hoist hooked to the front body cab mounts. Lifted it enough to put the 4X4 on top of a block or 2 then went to the trunk. Used the lift hooked to the trunk latch.

What I wish I would have done was cut a slot in the 4X4 for the pinch weld on the rocker to slide into

If you need that section of the frame, I have a frame from my car that I cut up. I could cut that piece off and ship it to you and you could find a decent welder to come buzz it in. I'd trust that more than trying to patch up what you've got.
