Re: Meet Frosty

I'm almost 100% sure its a D60. The 10.25 looks to have a 12 bolt pattern. Since nothing happens without picture this is where we are at.

Re: Meet Frosty

Yeah. We used 2" blocks in the rear. It was super easy, took an hour per side with beer breaks. We'll see how it sits when the build is complete and shes loaded down and may need to add in an...
