As stated I traded some work for his BAJA.
I would like to personally apologize for the slight issue he had on the way home. When he dropped it off I barely remember him telling me that some of the holes in his drum were stripped out, and the wheel fell off about half a block from the shop on a test drive. I had to timsert each hole due to not being able to remove the nut on his rear drum.
Sad but true, the repair was solid, I drove it four or five blocks and came back. He picked it up, and I guess after a bitmore driving he found out that the inserts were slightly too long and chewed his brake up a bit.

Haven't head from him since, and don't want any bad blood for the problems. Sorry, and believe it wasn't a normal thing to happen.

Looks good, glad the beam at least looks right. and the license is held on with a much better system.
If anyone can't tell, I built a beam for him. King and links, and bushings. Plus a lowering beam I had forgotten about. Looks like he put a drum on the back...good.

Hey Chris sorry I havent been around , been in Seattle alot, and otherwise working pretty constantly.
Everythings all good man I'm really pleased with the beam. The issue with the drum is worked out and I'm fine with it. I was upset that day cause I had kids to pick up within minutes and no possible way to get the drum off to fix the wheel cylinder. I had to drive aways on it and was afraid it was going to fall off, or leak all my brake fluid out. Had to replace the shoes, wheel cyl and re-machine the drum to get it back on the road.
Anyway I'm fine with it. I would like to stop and square up with you, I'm close to needing that long block and bumpers. Let me know if you have a S/P already done or if I need to bring in my 1300. I'm fine either way.
