    When you say "running tests" I like to picture BamBam from the Flintstones sitting down at the TSC hitting rocks with a 12lb sledge and making them into smaller rocks. The "test" is just how many strikes it takes, lol.

    Congrats on the grad. No Internet! Where the hell do you live? BFE? You can get a cellular wifi device from t-mobile.

    Justin, you know my schedule. Any time your ready, we can start sticking some parts back on yours!

    Ball joint. We ended up using a pipe wrench on mine. I didn't care much for it, but it was the only option I had.

    Ok, remod+ meet on Saturday for Justin's truck. If anyone wants to come by. Looks like we are going to start around 8 (but will need to leave to get his springs compressed and should be back by 10) and then be finished by 1. Going to change out front shocks, new UCA's, rear AAL and new headlights.

    If you went with the LR UCA's, it's torque spec'd for 175 lb ft. I had to borrow a torque wrench that went that high to get it. Of course, there's always the cheater bar and over torque method :-D
