Title: Thank you stupid kid!
Post by: mrcabinet on May 03, 2012, 02:05:18 PM

Thanks to a stupid kid backing out of a parking spot way too fast (and without looking), I now have a HPD30 front end with BDS adjustable arms, BDS adj. track bar, all new bushings, TRE's and a ZJ tie rod upgrade. A new set of 7" flares and a paint job on the fender, hood, cowl and grill completed the job. His insurance co. gave me $1200 for a new axle housing, but I managed to score the HP at the pull-a-parts for under $200. The junk yard was literally 1 1/2 blocks from the shop that was doing the work! I even scored the front drive shaft to go towards a future SYE.

To anyone that is thinking of converting to the HP, all I can say is Do It! I didn't realize how bad of vibes I was getting from the front until the swap.
