Looks great! How is your Nylint Crawler doing? The battery is dead in ours, time to get a new one.

Thanks! The nylint is a cool crawler but lead/acid rechargeables are not the best. It mostly gets pushed around most of the time and I now have a Axial wraith like in the rc crawler thread here. One of these days I'll get around to posting some buildup pics of that.

Marshall, I am literally exhausted as of today! I finally got the stock pitman arm off this morning that I was working on all day yesterday....I was literally ready to take the cutoff wheel to it. I took a deep breath this morning after beating on it, heating it, cranking on the puller, ruining several wrenches....So I looked on the internet to see if I was missing something...well little did I realize that the puller doesn't really pull the arm off, it just puts constant tension on it, then you hit with a BFH, re-tension it, hit with the BFH, so on and so forth and guess what? It came right off, lol. Hours of frustration solved with a ten second internet search! Luckily I didn't snap the puller that I rented from Autozone....Anyway the purpose of pulling the arm was to get a drop pitman on there to get the steering angles back to parallel with the track bar, because it was REAL squirrely and all over the place yesterday, like not let anybody drive it sketchy. With the arm and drop bracket it fixed all that and it drives great now, not jumping all over the road.
