Thanks guys, It turned out to be way more of a headache then I ever expected and I've done a frame off restoration on a 70 RS/SS Camaro before. Mainly because it takes so long to get parts from Japan and nobody knew what and how many parts it involved.

Here's pics after the completion and all back together.

And here's with my tablet in place and tethers wirelessly thru my rooted Android phone app and the sound goes thru the Pioneer Z120BT with bluetooth.

I put in glow in the dark mic holders for the Kenwood mic and the Midland 75-822 CB


I also recently swapped out my BajaDesigns Stealth 40" LED bar for their newer and more powerful OnX 44 bar


A couple of months back I also upgraded the rear lower control arms to Metaltech's offset ones and the springs to Toytec Superflex springs.



Height difference between my old SAW's and the Toytec rear springs..... about a 1/2" gain and a little stiffer.

Rear lower control arm comparison of stock vs. Metaltech's....probably twice as strong!
What rod did you use for your tablet? Is it custom?

Anybody with a hint of mechanical aptitude should be able to do it in your own garage.

I also finally completed my fog light HID projector retrofit last weekend and the Vision-X Tantrum rock light install a couple of weeks ago. I'll have pics up when I get a chance but real happy with the outcome.

Here's some pics of the Gears and Lockers ......




Rear 3rd member with the new 8.2" 12 bolt Nitro 4:56 and ARB RD193 Air Locker

Front 8" clamshell with Nitro 4:56 and ARB RD121 Air Locker

Out with the old and in with the new! V

CV axles out and ready for the front clamshell V

Rear third member with 4:56 gear and ARB RD193 locker V

Cleaned out with a new gasket and ready for the new rear diff V

Axle pulled out just enough to install the Diff V

Locker Solenoids
Did you have to lift the motor to get the clamshell out and in?

I know it's been years, but I'm thinking of a trail front bumper swap. Do you think if I had the side flares from the trail bumper painted (black) to color-match my stock smooth SR5 flares it would look too weird? Alternatively, anybody know if they ever made smooth ones?

Also, I know you modified the mounting brackets to get the trail bumper on, but I haven't seen anyone post pics or an in-depth explanation of the mods needed. Any tips/details in that department?

Also, do I really HAVE to change the fender liners? Can I get away with just the front bumper cover and the bumper-mounted flares painted to match my SR5?
