Time to get to the rear suspension! Porterbuilt Stage 2 Basic (bolt-in notch, adjustable panhard bar, bags, cups, rear crossmember). Too sweet of a view, always good to step back and soak up a little sense of accomplishment (yeah taking the bed off is a milestone!).
Removing Old Rivets with an Air Chisel (best method by far IMO). Thanks to Porterbuilt for designing things such that they re-use old rivet holes!
