Got the axle in, hooked up, drove around the block. Don't have rear brakes, yet. One of the calipers I got didn't have the saddle in the box. So I put the caliper, pads and hose on the left rear. Was able to stop with the E brake, since I had the center rear hose pinched off still from the swap. I left the sway bar off and installed the Bilsteins in the rear. Still need to do the Pitman and Idler arms, front Bilsteins, Alignment, GenII front brakes, Superwinch hubs, electric fans with dual controls, front crank seal, Mitsu mini locker pump, and the compressor for OBA. Not necessarily in that order <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I have all the parts, just need the time. Anywho, here's the pics of today's goings on.

Spare mount dilemma SOLVED (Thanks a million, Eddy. Lemme know when you come this way, and I'll have some Cerveza Imperal cold and ready!)




Brakes!


Bilsteins!

Thought this was kinda funny.

Wife was sitting behind me while I was working and said "Butterflies! How cute!"
I said, WTH are you talking about?
She said on your tires.
I'm looking around to see the butterflies, to my dismay, I see none. Then she says, in the tread of your tires.
