    I end up with just buying the whole fuel line from Yoda Jims. He wouldn't sell just the fittings and clamp he only offered the whole line. By the time I drive around to find fittings and tools for the job. It was just worth it to buy it.

    That should make life easier anyway. I've never had stellar luck with re-flaring lines. No patience.

    The boy was being a smart ass so I made him scrub and wipe down all of the wheel wells including the bedside ones. After that he cleaned the frame. When he got them nice and clean I went ahead and painted the wheel wells black and repainted the frame.

    Today I tackled the TC coil bucket gussets. There was some grinding, filing and bending to get them to line up.

    IMG_2413.jpg
    That arrow shows where I had to file the hole to get the bolt though.

    IMG_2414.jpg
    This arrow shows where I had to grind some steel off.

    IMG_2416.jpg

    IMG_2415.jpg
    I had to bend the engine side plate to line up with the coil bucket.

    Big thanks to the guys in the Long Travel thread that gave me a tip to burn it in like in this picture to make sure everything was as close as it can be before burning it in.

    Sure anytime!

    No way I'm putting that in the Honda. :p
    It's home. We threw it in my bosses truck and off loaded it with the cherry picker in my garage.

    My wife picked these up today. When I looked them over one was non abs and the other was abs. I asked for non abs spindles. I'll just cap off the abs section.
