Finally got my trailing arms on. 2"x.25" wall DOM, Currie Johnny joints with custom frame side mounts and stock axle end mounts with orange poly bushes. Will get some flexy pics up sometime soon.

Tightened steering backlash on new steering box. Feels much better now and no leaks. Just hope I didn't tighten it too much. Not sure how to tell though.

Broke blower motor while trying to rebuild it because of squeaking. New blower motors are $420! Thankfully LR3 blower motors work on D1 and are only $100.

Need more hill but the new arms really allow the back end to flex more. Can't wait to flex it all the way out.

Practical test of the new arms. Worked great...never did get enough articulation to pull a rear wheel off the ground. Did manage to bend some sheet metal with the longer arms so ill be back to cutting some more

Got the D1 off of a car hauler trailer - Seattle to San Diego.
Now fixing the panhard bushings.
Marks' Imports in Juanita WA replaced the panhard bushings twice
and they went bad - twice.
Going to poly now.

see attached picture

Nope, you can't have them. They are all mine.
