    Not really sure Zach. As I told you at BC last week, I'm considering unibal ucas. Not sure if I will do that soon though. Why? Have any suggestions?

    I've considered the camburgs. Looked at (scroll down). These should work fine with my SAWs and are cheaper than the TCs by about $200, not sure why. Unfortunately, there aren't as many options for mid travel 1st gens and I'm not sure I want to go the LR/ball joint route. I am kinda hoping DSM will come out with one for 1st gens.

    Canada Eh!
    Did the diff breather mod :D Easy as pie and a little extra insurance. WOOOOT post 69;)

    Also fixed the squeaky power steering. :) I made a little gizmo up that I will be installing on the outlet line from the heater core. It is basically a 3 way valve that will allow me to add coolant and bleed some air out right at the heater core. My truck seems to have a problem with airlocks. Heat one minute then nothing the next. Ill get a picture tomorrow.

    Had the coils swapped at a local shop.
    Looks a lot better now.

    I could deal with it just for better light pattern maybe if it was black.
