    And yeah, we are going to do some work to get these fitting w/o rubbing. After the lift it should be a little easier! :D

    Changed my oil today, put in Mobil1 full Syn. Finally sealed up my exhaust leak with a bolt, lock washer, big washer and a nut. I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is now! I am concerned about my passenger front wheel though. It is a lot harder to turn than my driver side wheel. I really hope it isn't the bearings, hoping for a simple brake problem. I have to hold my steering wheel a little to the left to drive straight now.

    So I diagnosed it to a sticking caliper based on the rotor glazing, being hot as crap after a short drive (the other side was warm, not blisteringly hot).

    So I now have 2 new calipers, 2 new rotors, 4 new pads all waiting to go on this weekend.

    Installed my brakes yesterday, finished up the sliders today, and bought a rear pinion seal for my leaky dif.

    Yesterday I replaced my passenger side outer tie rod. Turned into a mild adventure lol
    Started out normal

    Then the nut wouldn't come all the way off even after a torch and a cheater bar so I just cut the tie rod in half. Worked great! I need to do a quick toe alignment though.

    Oh, and I replaced a rear pinion seal the other day. That was a little nerve racking when my Snap-on 1/2" air impact wrench couldn't loosen up the crush sleeve bolt. Luckily some penetrating oil and persistence popped it loose. No pics from that as I was rushing to get it done before class in the snow.

    Test fit my MTRs while I did a quick toe alignment and they fit! :woot:

    Loving that they stick out.

    And how ridiculously close they are to hitting the UCA. This distance should be fine after I install the All Pro Uniball UCAs.

    Finally got the Fox/Fabtech Coilovers with Eibach springs! :woot:

    I am waiting on the UCA's before I install them, and I really need to work on the rear end suspension... Someone had recommended using OME springs made for a pickup because they fit the 95-97 Taco's and provide a decent amount of lift, ~3". Sounds good to me, and I wouldn't have to tear Roxy apart welding some Chevy 63" springs which would lose me ground clearance under the frame.

    I want those MTRs. I thought my tires came in Friday. But apparently it was someone else's order. I had my hands on them and everything. Was about to grab the receipt and walk out but the guy noticed last second. :frusty:

    Man that sucks! These MTR's look sooooo sweet. I am so stoked to get them on, I already ordered an axle relocation plate from All Pro to ship with my UCA's. When they get here I might throw the MTRs on for fun and ditch these studs/alloys. BTW these alloys are in really good shape...

    And I might refer to this later so.
    Thanks Monte!

    I'm glad 105 mph is listed there. I'm very interested in my RPMs at that speed, seeing as how it happens so frequently...

    Oh, almost forgot. I bought some 1.5" x 1.5" square tubing today so I can make some hi lift jack mounts on the passenger side of my bed. I will have to ditch the drop in bedliner, or at least cut it up.

    And today I took my drop in bed liner out so I can make the hi lift mount, and ended up sawzalling it up. :cool:

    Was not replaced, the only spots I see that aren't perfectly fine are the frame to bed (or was it body) mounting locations. But those aren't horrible really.
