(install on rear only, so far)
Well I got the rear on... kind of. No rear driveshaft yet, due to me having some rare rear end dana 35c . I need a different u-joint and will be waiting to get one, so am driving via front axle only. Beer anyone?
Also, OME rear shocks that I got didn't have a kit (upper pin) to install the shocks and I will be waiting for that from Dirk. I guess they are now using ZJ rear shocks due to them having more travel, but they need the kit for install. I am using the old pins out of my old shocks to get by until the parts arrive. Rum and coke?
The bolts for the shocks (rear) ALL broke. Couldn't get a damn nut up in there on the left side so I had to retap. How about a Scotch?
The rear shackles hit my Borla exhaust right at the tail pipe, so that will have to be delt with. I have some wild hose clamp on there for a temperary fix until I get a game plan. Hmmmm, lets see what else goes wrong when I do anything? Shot of Jack?
The hack and tap went well. The leaf's came off pretty well without too much problem. Champagne?
Anyway, that is the progess so far. It took longer than I figured due to the problems. I am putting the front together on Thursday and Friday nights. Hope it goes a little smoother, but who knows? Wiskey?
Figured I would post this a bit. I have about 6-7 hours in the rear. The driveshaft will take no time to install, so that will be about it.
Enjoy,
Curt
