Yea. Next in line is supposed to be Billy's EB. First come first served. Wish he'd paint it before it comes over here- camo sux! Maybe I'll "accidently" sand it down and prime it one night...heh-heh

Jay, t-case linkage is finish-welded and painted, as are lca's. They'll get built up and installed tomorrow. Trial fit on driveshaft is good. ;D We'll be driving it Wednesday. [glow=red,2,300][/glow]Whoooooooo..... I'll be off |

Ok Jay! This is what's left- bleed brakes, fill diff's, get/install sway bar bolts, get 2 more t-case skid plate bolts/install, drive! Parts installed today-  T-case linkage minus body mounting-  Building up LCA's-  Had to use ratchet strap to position axle. Top link 14 1/4", bottom 17 1/2. Tires looks centered in wheel well and spring is pretty much straight -   Probably have to re-set pinion angle as the rear settled a little and it's off a bit after this pic was taken-  Links-  More clearance without t-case drop-  See you tomorrow Jay! |

Ok, so we didn't get to drive today. With addition of correct (not stock) lca's and axle properly positioned under frame the d-shaft was a little too short for my likes. Standard Parts will be done with it tomorrow and Blaze will be rollin'! Here's Jay filling 8.8, 869 pumps later-  |

Oh yeah, Me like the T/C linkage. Nice and SMOOOOTH. Not binding. Just one of those lil' things that irrita8d me for a long time. No more adjustments Thanx, Dave...
