Silver is the best IMO . I actually have a friend that paints cars for a living and mixed me up a bottle of touchup that matched perfectly.

U-Joints and Hubs came out and went in with zero issues. Just waiting on my lift components and tires to come in. Lift should be on in about a week or so. Unfortunately I can still hear the rotational sound after install so I don't know what it could be other than tires now. I guess I'll have to wait and see. I also decided to get the HD Crown tie rod and drag link. Everything including the TRE's are original so it would make me feel better to have new stuff to go along with the lift. I'm sure they're ok but being almost 14 years old they can be retired.

Well, I might have to turn in my man card. Good news is that all my stuff has arrived to do my lift. The bad news is I will not being installing it. I basically got an offer from a local 4 wheel shop to install everything for around $400. That includes all lift components, SYE, alignment, and mount and balance tires. I was really looking forward to doing it but with limited tools and time I'm going let them knock it out on Tuesday. I really couldn't afford to spend more than a day without the vehicle and I thought that was an awesome price to do everything. My buddy with a shop that I use occasionally was going to let me use the place but he's super backed up and needs all his bays for the next couple of weeks so I made my decision to help another local business.

Still waiting on my tires . The morons I ordered from called me this morning and told me that the tires arrived but were the wrong size. They claim that they received 35x12.50's with 31x10.50 stickers on them. I guess they think I'm an idiot. Why not just say hey, we screwed up and didn't receive them when we thought we would or hey, we forgot to order them.

Sorry no pics but just replaced front rotors and pads. I have a warped sounding rotational noise that appears to be coming from the front. I believe everything that spins has been replaced minus the wheels and tires. It's very stressful not being able to find it. Doesn't do it on a lift and I don't see it being tires since I can hear it at 10 mph. Hopefully all parts will arrive this week so I can get the lift on and just maybe I'll get lucky and the noise will be gone.

Here she is all lifted. I'm very happy with it and pictures do it no justice. I have my 4 original tires and wheels in the back and it still sits level. Ride and handling is far better than my old worn out suspension. I'll get some better pictures soon.

Nothing special but gave her some fresh oil and TC fluid today. Hopefully I'll be figuring out which exhaust I want and ordering soon.
