it is fairly easy to take apart the door handles....the longest part is getting the door panel off to get access
you can swap out the handles easy ans probably find some on ebay
the original post was not asking any questions and you just stuck in your two cents...........the way i see it you did piss on his parade when he was just sharing information and pictures
take it to the classifieds or pm
I have been looking at volants, just because i like the optional accessory "ram air scoop" and the totally enclosed design
have you considered dropping that grey looking fascia or whatever they are called under the front bumper cover?
just a thought
and maybe the running boards too?
CIATAHOE,
Im not going to give this other guy the time of day and jack your thread.
I already told you my final word.
When they fail, you can ask this guy why and considering he is a "materials science" guy, he will probably tell you it was hydrogen embrittlement. (what all metallurgists...
CIATAHOE,
sorry about all this....bottom line is that any spacer CAN be dangerous....putting them on a rock crawler or offroad vehicle is one thing but buckling in your 4 year old daughter and then hitting the highway is a whole other ballgame
ultimately it is your decision but think about...
so do the lugnuts come in contact with the wheels?????
and the lugnuts thread onto the lugs?????
and under load metal never deforms because there is not such thing as elastic deformation?????
I guess everything they ever taught me in 4 years of an engineering degree was wrong????
i dont know where you heard that hubcentric spacers will not stress the studs at all but i dont buy that
they may be less stressful on the studs but you have to think about dynamic stress of when the car is in motion....not just sitting still....i dont care where the stress point is when you...
just another note......I have heard that the golden rule is to have at least 7 threads or turns to make sure you have enough threads on the lugs
even then you could be pushin it
dont go higher than 3/8" on spacers!!!!!!!!!!! you wont have enough threads to hold your wheels on tight, I have heard too many horror stories. Like wheels falling off at 80 mph!!!
you can always look into getting longer studs or get some machined if you want to use a spacer
i dont know a whole lot about it but i know you will have to calculate out the backspacing or offset in order to push the tire and rim out...you need to do this before you order the rims
please please dont do this
sell it and buy a smaller vehicle and let someone else enjoy the 4x4 z71
sorry to sound rude but even the thought of this is a crime
the evolution was a great purchase for me and if you run 91+ octane you can run it on extreme mode and you will see excellent gains
engine and transmission really come alive
best part is if you run 93 octane and put it in fuel economy mode and cruise down the highway you will pull 20 or...
