I finished enough of the major carpentry in the rebuilding of my house, including almost two months of sanding/varnishing, etc., that my garage was once again available for other work.

So on Sat I installed a few things taking up space in the garage onto the X.

I put on a 3" SL, steering kit and shocks.

That made room in my wheel wells.

I ran over to the local tire shop and had the (5) 305/70/16's mounted up, and got an alignment.

Damn...even lifted, it handles better on every issue but lateral acceleration, very responsive now.

It rides much better too.

The wife knows something is up, she says that now she can't get in w/o a boost...I told her she's getting old...(Was that a mistake?)

No, that's not a mistake. A mistake is saying she's getting heavier!

So calling her old and fat would have been a bad idea?

Any pics??

Pics of the truck, you mean?

nah, shes playin w/ you TJ...she wants you to feel her butt every time you go somewhere .
did you have a problem w/ the eccentric bolts in the control arms?

I suppose I should have remembered how to post a pic...I could always search.

No real probs with anything but rust on any of the install. I had to hit every thing once a week for the last few weeks with nut blaster, once I knew I might need to get stuff to turn in the near future...the actual turning was easy...the rust was pre-dissolved.

I'll try to post pics if I can.

Lucky you, I hit my eccentrics with PB Blaster almost daily for a good three weeks and they STILL will not yield. Gonna have to cut 'em out and replace the bushings before I can get an alignment...

Room for a 33x12.50 tire ?
Do you have a body lift as well ?

XOC -

Yep, 2" BL went on first. (That was a few months ago I think...)

I suppose like dissolves like, and I'm kind of eccentric...so my eccentric bolts were simpatico.

Not to be nosey, but where in the hell are the pictures?

An attempt to post a pic...
