Rockster: I did read through your thread up until the point where you were awaiting the arrival of a new rod. So, don't think that I am totally a worthless Dr. Watson. I will advise as to when I can visit to sample the local microbrews and get a free ride in your beastly conveyance. Be sure that it is on my agenda, dude

I think JID2 has the biggest current build thread I know of, mine has alot of views but I am not sure on the overall post count.

9s and 265s. I wouldnt go back to 9.5s for anything less than track duty since it takes alot of work to get them to fit the rear fenders.

My next set of wheels and tires will be 17x9 with 275/40-17 again.

Knife edge the rear but no pulling (stretching of the fender) like I had to do. Some aggressive camber and good offset, 30mm or thereabouts (32 max).
