Elroy was disappointed to discover these Yukon axles delivered with no hub decals. well at this point we have a choice. which decal would you select ?
The Yukon decal or the LMR decal ??

What's Elroy's take on those over engineered spray paint cans? No wonder the can gets smaller and the price goes up...

they suck.

might as well call it halfway done. more like 40 % because the trailing arms are still attached

looks like ford had a running change on their brake line. this is a 1985 model year fox body but the brake hose is a 1984 design.
