New powder coated d-rings, also added some non-slip to the bumper and also ran a strip along the roof just below the rack at the top of the ladder.

 

Replaced right front hub. Everything went very smooth and was about one hour start to finish. I believe it had been replaced before and the PO used plenty of anti seize.

Cable snapped at the lever side. Lever linkage was rusted and jammed with ice. 2 problems that werent gonna be fixed on the side of the highway.

 

Jealous!!!! Got any installed pics?

 

Not yet, Im probably going to keep the old ones on while I break in the engine (recent rebuild) since I was so smart and did a big suspension & steering job at the same time. When I put the new panhard rod in, I had to adjust it 1-2" longer than the old one... so I'm pretty sure the axle is way off and needs an alignment.

Then again.. I'm itching to put these on! Does anyone think putting 100 miles on a car thats had a new lift, steering box, panhard, etc and front axle is likely 1-2" off-center will cause tire wear?

 

 

Drove to work yesterday and noticed my new tires moved me closer to work. Use to be 32 miles one way, now it's 29...lol. Other than that, adjusted headlights...after the two inch lift and larger tires...was starting to annoy folks in the morning.

Installed terrafirma 2 inch lift. It now looks like it should. Also took off the running boards.

Any plans for the running boards (i.e. sell them)?
