well... deddth has entered the building... lol.

Yeah, I had no idea the da pedal was thought as a direct swap for our cars, but anyway you got a nice oem pedal. For the da washers I haven't seen close how they are attached to the da hood, if they are just clips I think they can be swapped.

[deddth]

i also thought that they were a direct swap, i also read a post from a guy who stated that they were a drop-in affair... but believe me i did everything i could to make them fit.

close but no cigar. the DA pedal cluster is WAY bigger than the ED one. also bulkier, and even the angles of the pedals in relation to the floor made me suspect that i would not be able to peg them down.

but yeah, i'm glad that i got it solved.

innovative mounts?

[deddth]

innovative mounts?

yep!

[freydaddy]

hope you didnt get em too stiff.

The trac bar allows to mount the stock rad or you use their pricey special sized rad? What happened to the front of the car?

Props for fj stuff

[deddth]

i ordered the traction bar mainly for using the front mount. i know that with innovative kits you don't need that one, but i wanted it anyway since it is a torque mount.

i'll be using the stock radiator ftm. but later on the road i intend on switching it to a eg one.

[deddth]

what happened to the DA? front end sexed up a ford ranger rear. sort of. lol.

hope you didnt get em too stiff.

Those are the 60a durometer, they are great!
Ask me how I know!

[deddth]

well i've been scammed on the harness. idon't want to go into details (i'm still pissed), but here ius a heads up for you:

if a member that goes by the sn "sleepingciv" offrers you his services, walk away.

his name is ryan weaver, and is from indiana.

What's happening with the harness? Does the guy has a store?

[deddth]

wrong plugs/half-assed construction. first he was available for a refund, next second was sorry no refund. paid 115 dollars for a pos harness.
