I think the part number for the bolts holding the tires carrier is 6512642AA. Doubt many shops will have them on hand but always worth checking since most places charge a crazy amount for shipping.
I just ordered a new front bumper I'm thinking will be delivered early January. Once I receive it and get it installed, I'd be happy to chat. Its plastic, that's what you're looking for?
This is a great video showing what's involved with a bunch of different lift kits. Has some graphs showing what the resulting lift actually was (3.5" lift doesn't always equate to a higher actual lift than a 2.5"). The video goes into detail about what is involved with the installs as well.
I ordered a flag with my plate but I haven't received either yet (order # 243). They emailed me 12 days ago asking for my DL number since they had to attach it to the order form for the state and they didn't ask for it on the online order form at the time. No updates since then but I don't...
Thinking about trying out a waterproof dry backpack so I can hang it on the tire at camp then roll up the top and put it inside the cabin while driving. Keeps water out so it should keep water in too? anyone have experience with this method?
