And a few more.

You'll notice on the last 2 pics, the front driveshaft is very close to the sway bar, but not touching in this photo. If you look closely, you'll notice the zerk has rubbed the sway bar slightly (all this from less than 150 feet of driving). The driveshaft does appear to make contact at the same time the zerk does as can be seen by the worn sticker.

New tires (255/85R16 BFG MT KM2) - only needed a camel cut on the back. You'll notice the small nick i made when trimming the rear fender.

Not quite the same articulations as FishEh But still pretty good for an OME shock with sway bars still connected. More pics to follow, including the steering damper relocation and HD drag link. Sorry, no photos of the HD High Clearance Tie Rod.

Finally got the rig off road and into some mud. I didn't realize the whole was so big - the mud almost swallowed the car. The entire hood was submerged for about 15 seconds! Yikes!!! Fortunately, everything still runs fine.

I used PB blaster on mine the night before and all 8 nuts came off in 20 mins with a set of box wrenches.
