UPDATE
Day 8
No updates for day 8, took the day off to sleep and work on the ball joints, which I couldnt do here.
UPDATE
Day 9
BIG day today, got the Ball Joints pressed in, cost me 10 bucks so I cant complain. Got the Arms on the truck! bump stops in, break lines on, and crossmember brace on.
Axles will be here tomorrow, so with any luck I should have it back on 4wheels by the end of tomorrow night! Wish me luck!
Only one photo today, but I think it sums it up quite well.

jason when you get it aligned pay for the lifetime alignment!!! i did mine at firestone and it will be worth the money. if you come by the firestone by my work, city of industry, then tell them that costco(where i work) sent you. i think i got my lifetime for like $140 and it is good at any firestone location

Had a 3-Day Weekend = More Axle Work Complete (truss,skid,fill,drain,ect)
So with the 3 day weekend this past weekend (I know, my work lets us off for some obscure holidays, this is the fist time I have ever had MLK off.. anyway) I was able to get some real work done to the 9" that I got.
Added the Truss/Back Brace, coated with POR-15 so it doesn't rust.. ever. Also added a Skid Plate w/ramp (whatever that means..lol) and a Fill/Inspection plug.
I still have a drain plug (they accidentaly gave it to me, well sold it to me) to install if I choose, and I need a new breather, and I am still waiting on all the bracketry/hood to come back from the laser cutter. Should be done today but the guys at the shop doing it are leaving for a race this weekend so I won't get it till next week.
Anyway, on to the pictures!
Just a reminder, how it looked when we pulled it (except for the brake bracket.. I added that)
I forgot to take shots during the build up of the Truss, it took a lot of fitting, but I knew that going into it. I am pleased with the results.
Adding on the Skid Plate and Fill/Inspection Plug (drain plug is in the pic too.. still not sure of its fate)
Rocks Beware :lol
Fill Plug
That is all. Let me know what you think!
