As far as future plans. Get a job and onces the money tree starts growing I'm going to do a rear disc brake conversion, extend the brake lines, OME steering stabilizer, tune up (needs one), and the list goes on and on.

I'm from Portland but I live in Boise currently for college. I'm a sophmore at BSU. I went Northwest Nazarene Unversity in Nampa ID.

I like the suspension it behaves very well and rides pretty good. My shackle angle in the rear is terrible and causes the back to ride pretty rough but other than that I like the way it sits and it does great offroad. Hopefully here sometime I'll be able to replace it. I would like to get rid of the spacers up front and get some long arms under it.

Pulled my rear diff cover yestrday in class and all the poured out was black tar. It was nasty.

While I had it off I went ahead and painted it

Got home and painted the tie rod. (painted front diff isn't on yet.)
