Default Moving to the dark side. D2

So I'm heading over to the dark side most likely tommorrow when I do the switch to the 03. My 98 is being sold for 3000$ and I'll probably get the 03 for 1000.

It does need work though, I'll try my best do do a writeup on every mod I do this time..

Mods
-D1 arms
-Flexible flares (cheaper than the body work it needs)
- remove running board
- black 18s
-needs tires ASAP
D1 transfercase
RTE 4" lift
Round gas door
Hood blackout
Hellas

Repairs needed
Sparks
Wires
Oil
Trans fluid and filter
Transfer and diff fluid
Radiator flush
Complete detail wax wash everything
New hoses
Headlight finishers
Bumper (needs new plastic, metal may or may not be bent but plastic is bad anyways I may be riding around with a bald bumper again for a while!

I'm gonna do this one right with the lift and all, haven't seen the interior yet but if all looks well it'll be mine.

Project: ugly sexy

Have a question, why D1 arms, they are far weaker then D2 arms. Why a D1 t/case that has a zillion miles on it and is so out dated to the current 03 case that you can add a CDL nose and shifter to?
Don't forget to rebuild the front drive shaft.

Sorry I meant wiper arms.
I thought it was easier to switch the case?

Front drive shaft rebuild. Can I do that myself? I have done u joints before not sure what the d2 uses

I did the D1 wipers arms... the cheap kit from rovers north (it even comes with some super cheap crappy wiper blades). I keep forgetting to buy a new rear arm.... but it already scratched the glass before I got the car, so no big deal.

I did the u-joints and centering ball on my front drive shaft. It sucked. A friend had to weld a bolt on so we could remove the centering ball, none of the other methods I saw worked for me.

What is this round gas door you speak of?

You're going to sell a truck that was used as a submarine for $3000? Man I want to sell in your market.
We still need pics of that.
