what the hell are you talking aboutOriginally Posted by BigCountry96
Your muffler bearings must be worn out! you should replace them, and while your at it, change your headlight fluid, they dont seem to shine as bright at night anymore, and you might as well pick up a quart of elbow grease while your there just to make sure everything goes smoother while your doing this work! Just for good measure get a can of woop-*** too so you can beat up your friends when they make fun of you for trying to do all this!

Hack and tap is about your only option. Do a Google search on NP242 hack and tap, and ye shall find much info!! HTH!!
actually guys i measured my blocks for my tcase drop and its only 1" my bad, for some reason i thought i got 1.5" but actually i was contemplating getting it and then i went with the 1" and forgot all about it, and i was able to look up and see the linkage but didnt have time to adjust it i will try that later

the hack n tap is still your best answer if you can spare a couple of bucks. that way you can raise the t case back up so you don't hit it when wheeling
ok i went ad looked at a really good write up on how to do teh hack n tap but, im curious here...
now i know with teh hack n tap my rear DS will have a really good angle and i can take the TC drop out, but what about the front DS?? its going to be worse than it is, wont it? the reason i did a drop in the first place is with my 5" lift and the TC in stock position teh front DS rubbed the crossmember and the 1" drop helped
