except for today, i learned that isuzu has the dumbest exhaust design ever. it's sad that they have four flanges and gasket all before the cat, and the routing of it sucks ***

try replacing the front axle seals... its a 15hr job according to all-data... your supposed to pull the whole front axles/hubs/ out and take apart the diff, slide the seal in from behind the carrier bering and reassemble... lol. I hate those things

Yeah, good info. I was trying to calculate arcs and stuff, and it has been so long since calculus and geometry I just don't have the chops. Yeah, lets move the track bar up, use the drop waggy I have, make a mount above the axle inside the spring like in the pics, and make a straight bar. And lets do it tomorrow so I can use it in Moab!
j/k - but soon for sure. Thanks for the info.
I was just over at Ryan's getting my pin welded back onto the bumper for the tire carrier. Thanks, Ryan!

No, no NO! If I can't do the math right it doesn't exist! j/k

Since there was evidence of it being cracked for a while, some preventative crack-checking (oooh, dirty!) could have saved it. Mark at Detours was cool to deal with...as usual

On my track bar I plan on running the Johnny joint and a rubber bushing like it is now. Without perfect geometry, I want the one end to still have some give.

Right on! I am liking this...
