Will do!!


The plan for today is to pull the main S10 leaf outta the pack, that should let it sit a little lower. And if not, lower my shackles atleast an inch. Cuz I'm 6'2". And when i stand next to this thing, it's about 6 inches taller than me. So it's gotta come down some.

It snowed. Which sucked. I still worked.



My jeep really loves hi-lifts. But they're truly the only thing that can lift my jeep high enough to match the back!





My jeep sittin' at ride height. Just right about how it should look!

Now this was my favorite part. With 37's, my roofline is only about 72 inches tall. That's LOW COG FOR ME!! haha. i like it. It sits pretty low and pretty wide. Can't complain. It's what i was shooting for anyway.



this is my tcase out and ready for lovin!

Once i got my transfercase out and apart, i realized some awesome stuff.

1. The chain had a ton of slack, was bound up, and burnt.
2. The magnet in the bottom had about this much **** on it. Along with the keepers from the synchronizer hub. And the snapring that holds it together.

3. There was almost no oil. the case needed a rebuild. So i bought a kit, and a few other little pieces!

New chain. Comparing the new and old.



Got the forks, front sprocket and output shaft, and main synchro sleeve all washed up and pretty.



I got it all back together without any trouble. The SYE installed. It is nice.

I also got the front axle out of the way.







And that's pretty much all up to speed as of now!

I got all the parts in the mail for the front now. Just waiting!

Waiting for what?

Do you mean you've ordered them all and you're waiting for them? Speak english son.

I cant believe you're running Ford radius arms, it'll never work.
