Ghostchips 3,462 Report post Posted Tuesday at 01:08 Weird seeing an O2 sensor on a 4K. Back in my day people welded diff's. I would rather pour lead in them. The axle shafts will thank you. So... what will you do about the rear bumper? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do want an lsd eventually. But finding one I the USA is nearly impossible. If I do get one I will let you know. 4 hours ago, Ghostchips said: Weird seeing an O2 sensor on a 4K.

The rear bumper all though being an eye sore will have to stay for a while. It is a nice resting spot for my bum when at the car meets. All though a nice similar style rally bar would be fitting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
