u got a busy week, chris!

here's a pict from mr.gale's build thread. you can see that his bar has no locking collar, but he has a package there that look like 2 silver rings on the left. mine was missing that little bag with the rings.

the recent lots already come with the locks pre-mounted per the pict i posted earlier.

I think maybe my bars had those physically on the bar... but I'm not sure, I'll try to catch a peek while working on the brakes. I'll snap a pic or two.

Gotta get everything prepped for ZDayZ.

Oil change is next week also. Then the only fluid that will not have been swapped is the PS fluid. Debating on if that's even worth it, and if so, what fluid to go with. Some people were saying NOT to use the Redline "Power Steering Fluid" for PS Fluid?

To instead go with... fuuu I can't remember which one now.

yah, most brands like stillen and eibach have the collars welded on there.

wow, you're swapping ps fluid already? lol my G is still running stock fluids from the factory, other than brakes, coolant, and motor oil.

doing the diff oil this summer. and retiring her next year at 10yrs.

Well she's going on 3+ years old, and will hit 50k by ZDayZ, so I figured, why not?

Oh no, it's not that they say Don't use Redline, its that they say don't use the Redline PS fluid. Instead use another one of their fluids, like the MT or rear diff fluid... something along those lines. Redline ftw.

Hopefully $2k lands in your account mysteriously and you can make it.

Fixed

it's not money that's the issue. I got a new job and need to accrue vacation days. I don't have enough to go to ZdayZ yet
