    I have the passenger side caliper completed and ready to go on, and I got the driver's side caliper painted and ready to be reassembled. Should hopefully be picking up the new LBJs tonight. I might actually get this puppy back together tomorrow if everything goes smoothly. :fingerscrossed:

    @Taco No Baka they recently recalled a ton of our suspension for not lasting and I think we are now selling parts that are equal to oem. They saw a high warranty on suspension parts. I know you went a different route plus they will always warranty them or refund if you’re not happy

    Good to know. Thanks, Tim. I'm going back with the autozone LBJs. They've been fine for 4.5 years, so I was comfortable sticking with them. I went with 555 (the OEM manufacturer) UBJs to see if they will last any longer. I'm still going to warranty the Autozone UBJs and go back with them if the 555s don't last. If they do, then I can always use them on the T4R...I think anyway. :thumbsup:

    Haha, I now have two brand new sets of LBJ bolts to carry around in my tool box for the next 1st Gen that loses theirs on the trail 'cause they didn't use Locktite. :rofl:

    This is painful to look at, you should have worked on getting the frame done before the mods. Glad it’s getting done for you, and they didn’t gove you any problems with having it lifted? Thats cool

    I'm thinking I may do that after an initial inspection this weekend. Take off the sliders in case so they don't have something to gripe about.
