PROGRESS?!?!?!
Sheesh, I'm just starting!
Let's see now, what is there left to do....
- Install a front axle housing. (!)
- Switch front axleshaft to remove disco.
- Cover the hole in the housing for the disco unit.
- Install rear locker.
- Switch sides of rear brake backing plates (long story).
- Replace rear wheel bearings and seals (have to be pressed!).
- Relocate rear axle 3/4" forward.
- Make some rear lift springs from comanche leaf packs.
- Obtain and install longer e brake cables.
- Modify drag link to eliminate binding.
- Trim fenders.
- Install swampers on new wheels (when they arrive).
- Have Dr. Sawzall ensure that those new meats actually fit!
- Install front tow hooks.
- Go to school full time.
- Work 3 eight hour shifts.
- Sleep...... (yeah, right.)
Yep, this all needs to be done by Thursday morning. Currently, it's 3:05 am Sunday and counting.
Hope I make it. Pray for me....
Jared :wow:

Finished up a couple of last minute things this weekend. I installed my Warn M8000 with the solenoids located under the hood, and installed a set of the Dana 30 axle tube seals. (VERY slick!)
I leave early Thursday morning.
