I actually plan on keeping all the parts on the bin.
1) I want them for my collection
2) I didn't have a chance to test all the parts before I tore into the truck and I wouldn't feel right about selling an untested part.

Plan on taking off the headliner and stopping the shower of water I get everytime it rains. (Nothing like a cold gush of water to the face to get you up in the morning)

Hopefully if that doesn't take forever, I'll finally get a chance to clear out the breather tubes on the axles and M/T & T/C.

If by some miracle all this happens before I run out of daylight (not keeping my fingers crossed) I will rip the exhaust off with my bare hands because of how long the easiest things take to fix on a 94. Then atempt to replace the o2 sensor.

Then replace the u-joints on both drive shafts on Saturday! Anybody want to lend me a press or vice because I'am almost positive the u-joints will be a pain to change out?

Finished up the Rancho front shocks and put my bump stops I used to run on the rear up front. They look a lot better there then they did on my bench.

Me nothing, nature grew some vines around the right side.

Soon I'll put it in the shop, I give up.

They're brighter than the stock incandescent bulbs and I'm really pleased with the crisp white light that updates the look, all at 1/12th the current draw. They even look great when combined with the more yellowish halogen headlights. I didn't take a picture of it, but it creates an interesting mix between the LED and halogen color temperatures.

Stock 168 bulb on left, LED on right:

I did the same thing a year ago. Sadly, they burnt out within 2 months.

Installed OME rear nitrocharger shocks extended length. Currently running Bilstein 7100's in the front. Also painted my wheels and brought it into the garage for some cleaning.

got some work done on the toy conversion..

Got front diff built last night and started work on the rear axle housing this evening. Got the sewer cap welded on. Stubs, hubs etc bolted back up. Test fitted the axles and rear diff and marked all the holes to be drilled.

Here's a pic of the sewer cap action..
