    Looks good! How wide are those wheels? 8.5 or 9"? If 9" oohwee best of luck adjusting the LCAs far enough where you can keep them flaps.

    I can't stress enough - if you are going to adjust the LCAs for alignment and to fit things without rubbing, take out those LCA cam bolts and copper anti-seize the inner sleeve areas generously. You absolutely don't want to find out what happens when they rust solid (ask how I know).

    One matter of opinion: Torque spec on the LCA adjuster bolts is what 100 ft lb off top of my head? If you plan to offroad, most people seem to go higher. I went to 110 on mine based on things I read from the forums and I don't feel there is any danger in doing so. If no hard offroading 100 is probably fine too. Either way get a paint marker and after it gets the alignment mark the cam positions so you can re-adjust later if they get out of whack.

    9" I am probably going to end up getting new mudflaps, rokblokz are looking like a good option right now.

    If anyone secures a seat for this event, make sure to check it before sitting down. I mean, considering that it’s a “workshop”. If it was a seminar, it would be a bit different.

    Changed the front diff oil today. Hope I did it right.20221118_093103.jpg

    The rear diff oil will have to wait untill Sunday.

    And the Milwaukee 3/8 impact as of now is my favorite tool. Doesn't have the snort of the 1/2, but it's great for the smaller stuff. It'll also take off lug nuts. 100% happy with the purchase.

    LOL. Sweet. Don’t forget to get your core deposit back after “you change your diff oil”.

    Last time you were all excited you got some stickers in the mail. Then you disappeared for a day and your taco had a supercharger.

    I love this idea of doing it on the bench! Way better than crawling underneath. :D

    That install day was in the mid 20's also. Have to stop doing the mods in the winter! Or get heat in the garage.

    I think it also requires new muffler bearings as well as an LS swap.
