^^^That goop looks really sticky.
Well guys, I didn't make my goal of getting everything finished on one day. Meh, considering this is my first time doing extensive work on a Jeep of any sorts, I'd rather take my time and learn than rush things.
I'm at a point where I can start installing the lift and axles as I have everything pulled (the lady looks like a hover car right now). Broken bolt count stands at 6 - front strut bar end link nuts and all rear damper-to-body bolts. I also realized that the 3.55 Dana 30 I bought does not have the fitting for the vacuum/breather line - just an open hole. Is there a remedy for this? Can the old fitting be pulled out easily? Am I going to have to buy a new one?

***** this project. I wish I never would have started. Ran into some complications yesterday such as broken rear damper bolts which required drilling, impact gunning and re bolting. Then, the front steering damper got damaged from removal. Then, the new steering damper wouldn't work with the center arm on the newer Dana 30 because it's from a ZJ. Then old bolts. Then trying to align heavy *** Dana 30s. Good lord I want this Jeep back.
Hopefully today. It's just front coils, dampers, reattach track bar, bleed brakes, torque bolts, change diff fluid, do a burnout, and drive away.
