Sweet.. thanx joey...

Do you need to use a wheel puller on our cars?

I'll be OK once I fiqure out how to remove the airbag and how to make the horn keep working I quess..

Hopefully I can fiqure out where to solder the the 2.2ohm 1/4watt resister.

you're definately going to need a wheel puller. but you can rent them for free from autozone or advanced auto...or buy one for like $12

the airbag removal is really easy....the horn however...not so much, lol

because i tried ordering a hub for my 99 fire through keystone and they said they couldn't sell me one cause there is some law in the u.s that it is illegal to take the air bags out of a air bag equipped car. just what ive heard, even on the grant website it says that these products are not for vehicles with airbags etc. and also if you search for parts for a 95 and up j-body it comes up with nothing, however for a 94 cav it comes up with the hub adapter. and a a 2ng gen and 3rd gen have same spline. cause my buddy put his 93 wheel in his 3rd gen.

kinda dumb on keystones part. the box should state its for off-road use only keystone wouldnt have any liability really.

thats what i was thinking.....since almost any part we put on our cars has that same disclaimer

^^^^

When I bought my header... it had that plastered on the box too..... thats a pretty common thing to see.

btw... has anyone ever bought one of those autozone sttering wheels before? Are they as cheap as they seem to be or is it just my imagination? I can't remember what brand they are.... Pilot or APC I think.

never used one myself, but for what they charge you, you can get something a little better online.

the ones i commonly see there are Pilot, APC, and Grant wheels

its really upto what you like in the design of it. Some of them look decent IMO, but I personally would look around. Even when i bought my fake Bride wheel off ebay years ago, it held up well and i beat the hell out of it back then. I still have it laying around somewhere and its definately worth the $ i spent on it.
