How long did the swap take?

The motor? Months. Like, seven months. Mike was busy.
The body? I'll let you know. Terry says 3-4 weeks for everything. He is very thorough. It looks like all methods for opening up the wheel well do not meet his long-term quality standards however... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Oleg does this regularly, but it involves copious bondo. That would not survive even a brush with a tree.

I may resort to Bushwackers, or nothing. I have a set of Gorilla Warflares that look pretty good, but are a bit large for the stock opening. I really would like to widen the tire coverage. It won't matter in Colorado, but might to the Beehive State's Finest.

Oh, and chrome trim rings for the beadlocks... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Oh, yeah, I forgot: one of Roger's most fine rock sliders bent a bit but surely prevented more serious damage. Based on that and the broken wheel, I think it pretty much FELL off the ledge square on the driver's side. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
